The coolest fast cars in movies (1 Viewer)

[Artur Meinild]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Vector W8 from Rising Sun!

This car is from the late 80's, and it runs from 0-60 on 4.2 secs and top speed is 219 mph!
You can almost tell from the design that the creator of this car is a jet fighter designer!

How about the car from Men in Black? That would be pretty sweet.
Also Cameron's fathers Ferrari from Ferris Beullers Day Off would be right up there.

Arthur,
I was just about to mention the Vector W8. It has been my ultimate dream car for as long as i can remember.
Also, I'll vote for Travolta's Tuscan Speed 6 in Swordfish. Those Tuscans are really, really fast.

The red Lotus Turbo Esprit from If Looks Could Kill.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Of course the 1970 supercharged Dodge Challenger from
Vanishing Point

That was going to be my vote, but I didn't know that the Challenger was Supercharged!?
What makes you think that?

 

[Artur Meinild]

Honorable mention goes to Condorman's fast car! (Don't know the brand, but he's cool!)

Acording to this article a completed copy of the car used in the movie The Wraith can be had today if you have the $$$ "The original PPG molds were sold to Dalesar Inc. who modified them so you
could actually see out the back of the car. Dalesar produced one "Wraith II"
prototype and sold the molds to a family in Pennsylvania who currently sell
completed cars starting at 70 thousand dollars. They have been contacted
several times and have expressed their desire "Not" to sell bodies to
anyone, only completed cars. They do not accept "casual" contacts, only
interested buyers with cash in hand."
