Cars have played pivotal roles in countless movies down the years. Whether they’re fictional four-wheeled creations like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or real cars drafted in to fit a part, like the Bullitt Ford Mustang or 007’s Aston Martin DB5, the right car in the right film can be unforgettable. But of all the classic and memorable movie cars in Hollywood history, which movie car is the best ever?
As car enthusiasts, we have an in-built tendency to focus in on the cars in any movie. With the right car casting, vehicles in films have the potential to become so much cooler than they would be in every day life. That applies if the car is simply a means of getting characters from A to B but particularly if it’s a time machine, a gadget-ridden spy mobile or the hero’s wheels are in a thrill-a-minute car chase.
