The best looking car in almost 50 years of Bond movies is the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger: bulletproof rear shield, machine guns, ejector seat, nail spreader, oil slick sprayer, mobile phone and radar receiver.

The Interceptor

Mel Gibson's Ford XB Falcon Coupe-based car from the first Mad Max movie. The nose was reworked to give it a more aggressive look.

Frankenstein's Monster

The Ford Mustang GT Jason Statham drove in Death Race looked like the bastard son of Gibson's Interceptor.

Christine

The car was called the same as the movie, based on a Stephen King novel. Only he could turn a beautiful 1958 Plymouth Fury into something with a dark side.

The Bluesmobile

Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) summed up the 1974 Dodge Monaco: "It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tyres, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas."

Road Trip

Kowalski (Barry Newman) blasted across four US states in a 1970 Dodge Challenger, immortalising Vanishing Point and making the car an icon.
