I wish there was a single book you could buy..."Supercars for Dummies"?...but there isn't. The best way to learn about automotive engineering is to immerse yourself in it. You have Tata Motors to tap...I'd seriously suggest that you apply for an internship or volunteer to be on a college project that involves them. They may not make supercars, but they still have to go through all the engineering, design, testing, and packaging that is involved with making cars and trucks.

In the meantime, get yourself dirty. Go work for an auto mechanic as an apprentice. Learn how they work, the pieces, parts, and how they all interact...and more importantly what happens when one fails. You can ask yourself why...Was it worn out? Was it poorly designed? Was the material wrong? Was there a defect? Was is installed wrong? All of this will help you down the road in designing and engineering the fastest of the fast supercars.

Good luck!
