Umm, Audi S8 from Ronin. Or the M5?

Hell that Mercedes 600 they used in the Ambush was a cooler car than that POS ZCar.

The coopers in both versions of the Italian Job were excellent.

...and +1 for the S8 from Ronin.

I would have chosen the widebody twin turbo 350z driven by DK instead of that nasty yellow one.

At least the Bullitt '68 Mustang and Aston Martin DB5 made the list.
The Minis were fun, but I'm not sure they fit my image of "cool."

Oh, and honorable mention to the supercharged Falcons from the Mad Max films.

Thats what happens when someone who isn't an automotive enthusiast writes an article like this.

That 350Z looks so fucking ricer. At least put that Mustang fastback in the 4th one with an RB in it... that was pure blasphemy, drove the blue bloods nationwide crazy, and was utteringly fucking cool. Those Minis were kinda cool, but not that cool. What other car in movies can drive through a sewer tunnel and help pull essentially a bank heist? That Batmobile was badass but it remined me more of an APC or some military vehicle than anything. The Ferrari from Ferris Bueller was nice but not really all that cool.

that Z sucked... the Supra from the 1st Fast and the Furious was 40x better.

Herbie is :theghey:

The S8 was sweet in Ronin but wasn't like a main focus of the movie like most of the other cars were so I don't think its Top 10 worthy.

GT 500 from Gone in 60 sec. shoulda been on there too... great revival of a sweet ride a lot of people forgot about for like 20 years or so.

Also a big fan of The Pierce Brosnan BMW 750 from Tomorrow never dies, but then again, his Aston in The World Is Not Enough was pretty fuckin sweet too.

Nothing beats the DB5 though... classic.

That should be #1 for sure with the DMC 12 from Back to the Future as a close 2nd.


However, what about the 911 turbo from Bad Boys? I know it wasn't as featured as some of the others but more so than Ronin... they at least made a few points to show it crusing and shit... that race scene at the end when it OUSTS the Cobra... PRICELESS!

That one was easily my favorite for sure. ( I love it when Martin Lawrence shoot up the dash too)

I don't mind the list. At least most of the cars were from 'car' movies, and played a feature role in the movie.
although I do agree w/ some previously mentioned options.
supra > Z
elenor > Bullitt mustang
original Batmobile > tumbler
and I really don't like the new camero on there, as that whole movie was a big commerical for GM.

there are too many 'bond' cars, and I think they chose a pretty nice one w/ a DB5.

agreed... i think they BOTH deserve it but if you had to pick one the Bullitt is the original... Eleanor wasn't even a real GT 500, it was a custom 69 or 70 fastback i think.

it was a sick ride none the less

The General Lee - Its the goddamn general lee and epitomizes coolness, wtf.

yea, i was debating about that. bullitt is the original, and I think it should be in there, but so should elenor, but i guess you can't have 2 mustangs.

plus the bullitt mustang wasn't even the coolest car in that movie


kitt & the a team van are definitely cool, but not in movies
