Sobre IBD

Across more than a century of automotive history, a rare breed of automobiles has emerged not from production lines but from workshops-one at a time, by hand, and to order. Coachbuilt Rarities:One-Off Masterpieces tells the story of these singular machines, from the haute couture bodies of interwar Paris and Turin to the wind-tunnel-sculpted Ferraris of the 1960s and the visionary Rolls-Royce commissions of the 21st century. With a fact-based narrative and global perspective, author Etienne Psaila traces how designers, engineers, and patrons collaborated to turn motoring into personal expression.Whether born from competition, royalty, or fantasy, each car reveals a moment when imagination triumphed over convention, and artistry met motion. This is not a catalogue, but a living, driving history-rich in technical detail, cultural context, and visual splendour.

    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
    Etienne Psaila
    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...
  • McLaren Automotive
    Etienne Psaila
    McLaren Automotive didn’t inherit a century of road-car tradition-it built a modern supercar business almost from first principles, using racing discipline as its operating system and carbon fibre as its defining architecture. 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...
