In keeping with the title’s long tradition, this 58th edition of Automobile Year offers a complete overview of the events that punctuated 2010. The year yielded a rich harvest. Electric cars are reaching a new milestone, as Nissan and PSA Peugeot Citroën bring production models to market. The world economy is looking towards China, as the country rapidly becomes the centre of gravity of the automotive industry. And the Audi A1, Citroën C4 and Ford Focus, launched in 2010, represent strategic ventures for their manufacturers. The Formula 1 season remained compelling all the way to the last lap of the last Grand Prix, before finally conceding victory to Sebastian Vettel, the youngest World Champion of all time, and Red Bull, a name that has injected new energy into the world of motorsport. In rallying, Sébastien Loeb took his seventh World Championship title. And the involvement of BMW and Ferrari in the world of contemporary art and design, confirmed – if confirmation were needed – that the car is a major player in the culture of our times. The year was packed with emotions, and we invite you to enjoy them with us, through this definitive publication.
