My vote goes to Starsky and Hutch’s Gran Torino.
Who you gonna run against Zebra 7?
I vote for Ann Sothern!
No, no, no, The Dude’s Gran Torino, from The Big Lebowski…
i would have to say either doc brown’s delorean or the gadgetmobile.
kit was cool, but he(?) was no gadgetmobile.
Sorry folks. The hottest car was the Dodge challenger in “The Vanishing Point”. 425 horsepower from a stock engine. White, 426 hemi, pistol grip shifter, what more could you ask for.
What about the car from Viper? The show sucked but the car was cool.
The Ferrari from Claude Lelouch’s Rendezvous.
The car from My Mother, The Car.
Sure, it was an antique Model T jalopy, but it could talk!
So could KITT from Knight Rider!
How about James Bond’s Aston Martin?
“The car from My Mother, The Car. Sure, it was an antique Model T jalopy, but it could talk!”
A-hem! As I SAID, Ann Sothern. Not a Model T, if you please, but a 1928 Porter.
These are all fine suggestions. But tell me, are the doors welded shut on these cars so that you have to climb through the windows? Hmmmm?
Have any of these cars regularly made the jump over Beggars Creek?
What happens when you blow the horn on these cars? A feeble beep, not a little song.
I think it’s obvious, despite its “Confederacy tendencies”, that the General Lee was the bitchinest car around.
I can not believe I’m the first one to say Batmobile.
The one from the cartoon series.
The General Lee rules!
(Um…what kind of car was it again? Dodge charger?) Eh, regardless. It’s NEAT.
Mel Gibson’s car from Mad Max:
The Interceptor
Actually, a 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe, “a car exclusive to Australia”
Rendezvous. No police, no closed streets, just a guy with a movie camera on the front bumper driving balls-to-the-wall across Paris in nine minutes. 130 miles per hour on the Champs Elysees, and the first time the movie was shown he was arrested. Does it get any cooler than that?
The Mustangs in Gone in 60 Seconds. The original and the remake.
Was there ever a movie with a Roadrunner SuperBird? That was a helluva car.
(for those who don’t know what I’m talking about: Real NASCAR SuperBird)
That is pretty damn cool! I’m going to have to go see that movie now! But from the ones I’ve already seen…
1- The Batmobile from the first movie (with Michael Keaton) Armor plating, machine guns, and remote voice control. And just enough passenger space for Kim Basinger.
2- The General Lee. I have agree with the other posters on this one. Whether you like that Confederate flag on top or not, that orange paint job and custom horn were bitchin’!!
I’ll post a few favorites, and let you all decide on each one’s respective “hotness” (the first 7 are my favorites, the rest are notable mentions):
-The black Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 from “Bad Boys”
-The yellow 74 Plymouth Cuda Hemi convertible from “Nash Bridges”
-The silver modified 68 Mustang Shelby GT500 from “Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)”
-The Red MacLaren “Coyote” kit car from “Hardcastle & McCormick”
-The black Lamborghini Countach from “Cannonball Run”
-Starsky’s Torino definitely gets a vote in here…
-The green Audi S8 from “Ronin”

-The white Jaguar XJ-S from “The Return of The Saint”
-the green 68 Mustang GT from “Bullitt”
-The black 75 Pontiac Trans Am from “Smokey & The Bandit”

-the black Dodge Interceptor prototype from “The Wraith”
-The modified 67 Pontiac GTO convertible from “The Monkees”
-The Lotus 7 Series 2 from “The Prisoner”
-The 65 Corvette Stingray from “Stingray”
-The 57 Ford Thunderbird from “Vegas”

As for the Bond flicks, they pretty much deserve their own category:
-silver Aston Martin DB5 from “Goldfinger” & “Thunderball”
-green Aston Martin DBS V8 from “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”
-white toyota roadster from “You Only Live Twice”
-white Lotus Esprit from “The Spy Who Loved Me”
-red Lotus Turbo Esprit from “For Your Eyes Only”
-deep green Aston Martin Vantage from “The Living Daylights” (fave)
-highly-publicized-yet-pathetically-underused blue BMW Z3 from “Goldeneye”
-silver BMW 750iL from “Tomorrow Never Dies”
-silver BMW Z8 from “The World Is Not Enough” (fave)
…but to jump away from reality and go for the gusto?
-The Spinner from “Bladerunner”
…whew… I really know how to go on, don’t I? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m goin to go out and get a life.
The Olds Toronado from Stephen King’s “The Dark Half”.
I was going to mention “Vanishing Point”, but you guys beat me to it.
So instead, I’ll say this: “There goes the Challenger, being chased by the blue, blue meanies on wheels…” haha
The race car from Speed Racer. 15 buttons on the steering wheel, one of which would fit any situation.
