Sobre IBD

The air-cooled 911 Turbo did not merely add forced induction to an existing legend. It forced Porsche to rethink the entire performance system-how power arrives, how heat is controlled, how braking and stability keep pace, and how a rear-engined sports car can remain both thrilling and trustworthy when boost turns torque into a new kind of force.From the first 930’s lag-heavy shockwave to the 964’s transitional modernity and the 993 Turbo’s twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive authority, this book follows the Turbo badge as a public engineering education conducted at speed. Each generation is treated as a complete, verifiable story of design choices, mechanical realities, and cultural impact-how Porsche learned to deliver supercar pace without sanding off the edge that made the Turbo unforgettable.Written as a fact-only narrative with technical clarity and historical context, Boosted Icons explains not just what changed, but why it mattered: the systems, the driving character, the market pressures, and the moment the Turbo stopped being a dare and became a benchmark.

  • Geely
    Etienne Psaila
    Geely’s rise is one of the defining industrial stories of the 21st-century car business-not because it followed the familiar path of a single brand climbing the ladder, but because it built modern automotive power the way the industry increasingly works: through platforms, capital, partnerships, and governance. From its beginnings in China’s reform-era private economy to its em...

    Etienne Psaila
    A battery company becoming a major automaker isn’t a catchy headline-it’s a blueprint for how the global car business is being rebuilt around electrification, supply security, and manufacturing scale. BYD’s rise tracks an industrial transformation that began in Shenzhen’s fast-moving, export-facing manufacturing economy and grew into one of the defining automotive stories of th...
  • SAIC
    Etienne Psaila
    SAIC’s ascent is one of the defining industrial stories of modern China: a Shanghai-based state enterprise that learned to build at world scale by combining policy mandate, foreign partnership, and an unforgiving culture of mass production. This book follows that trajectory from the city’s early workshops and planned-economy production routines through the reform-era opening th...
  • Lancia

    Lancia’s story is one of engineering audacity meeting industrial constraint. From Turin in 1906, the company built a reputation for doing things the difficult way on purpose-pioneering structural ideas, refining ride and handling when most rivals still chased simple durability, and repeatedly treating innovation as a core identity rather than a marketing layer.That same identit...

From the MP4-12C onward, McLaren set out to prove that extreme performance could be engineered into a repeatable, warrantied, global product: light, stif...
  • Lotus
    Etienne Psaila
    Lotus has always been more than a marque; it’s been a methodology. Built in a Britain that prized ingenuity over abundance, the company turned constraint into an advantage-treating mass as the enemy, structure as an art, and steering feel as a non-negotiable. From the earliest 'specials' and kit-car pragmatism through the defining road cars that taught the industry what handlin...
