Few people except true automotive fans look twice at the cars appearing in their favorite movie. However, the right car can really set the tone for the flick and give it some depth and character. Nothing says sophistication and class like an Aston Martin and few other cars can emphasize the “tough guy” or “bad boy” image like a good old fashioned American muscle car, whether it be a Ford Mustang or Chevy Camaro. Here are a few of the most infamous cars to ever hit the silver screen.

Aston Martin DB5 “GoldFinger”- Aston Martin is well known for its elegant, good looking and powerful cars. The gorgeous DB5 has made an impressive appearance in both “Goldfinger” and “Thunderball” movies from the James Bond franchise. The actual DB5 model that was driven by Sean Connery in the movie was recently purchased at a British auction at the price $4.6 million dollars. The engine is 4.0 Liters and is able to reach top speeds of up to 145 mph.

Ford Coupe-”American Graffiti”- The 1932 Deuce coupe is well known for its appearance in a final drag race scene in the beloved classic film “American Graffiti”. This bright yellow ride comes with a V8 3.6 Ltr engine and puts out 60 hp. Deuce’s fame showcases the extent of Ford’s popularity as an iconic nameplate.

Bumblebee-”Transformers “- In the movie “Transformers” Bumblebee has the ability to transform into a robot, an “Autobot”. She is also gorgeous, sporting a sunny yellow color with black stripes to resemble a real bee! Unfortunately Bumblebee was involved in a recent car accident which was not part of the script. She was hit on the side by a police SUV in Washington DC. If you want to have your own Bumblebee now you can, thanks to Chevrolet’s Transformers Special Edition package for the Camaro. This will get you Autobot insignia fender bags and wheel caps and more Autobot insignias in the interior in addition to the classic Bumblebee yellow and black exterior.

Ford Edge-”Quantum Of Solace” -Audiences physically gasped when Mr Bond didn’t emerge out of a Bentley or Lotus but a Ford Edge. When you’re suave like James Bond you don’t need a fancy car in order to get all the ladies excited; remember, it’s the man who makes the car, not vice versa. James Bond doesn’t just any Ford Edge in the movie, but an environmentally friendly Ford Edge fueled by a hydrogen fuel cell. It’s the perfect car to suit Bond’s more sensitive and human character, which was unraveled in the film.

Delorean DMC 12-”Back To The Future”- This vehicle achieves the impossible and breaks the laws of quantum physics. In the movie the DMC is able to travel back in time when hitting exact speeds of 88 mph. In our book, that makes the Delorean one of the coolest cars ever.

Mustang GT-”Bullitt”-The iconic Mustang GT can be seen in an intense scene in the flick “Bullitt”, which was released in 1968. The car is super powerful for its time and as a matter of fact, it’s still powerful for today! Equipped with an impressive a V8 engine with 325 HP, this smooth and cool ride had a major role in an intense seven minute car chase scene.

We usually don’t give much thought to the vehicles we see in the movies but try it next time! You never know, you could be looking at a star in the making.
