The best looking film car ever (not a competition!)

mr henderson - 23/8/08 at 11:52 AM

And the reason it's not a competition? Well, it's already been won.

By the Aston Martin DBS in the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Note that this was the original DBS (6), not the V8 which although a good car was spoilt by the addition of ghastly spoilers and bonnet bulges.

These were the best pictures I could find, but if you see the film (The best Bond film ever, BTW) then you will get a much better idea of just how good looking the William Towns design is.

I love the Muira, BTW, and the Italian Job, so a very good candidate for 2nd place

Another vote from me for the most beautiful car ever

Mr Henderson, you've been at the crack pipe again!!

I warned you!!

That Aston Martin is the bast*rd child of a reliant scimitar and a Ford Crapi.

You must be hallucinating if you think it is the most beautiful film car.!!

Now this is truly wonderfully beautiful.

Steve McQueen's 917 Porsche in film Le Mans.

Got to be the black Countach from Cannonball Run with the front spoiler IMHO.
Sort of thing that appeals to a 10 year old, but as that's my mental age.....

Modern cool.

The Audi A8 and the Citroen XM in Ronin.

Cars don't have to be supercars to be cool.

Check the slide on the Audi just after 5 minutes. I know it's all staged, but it's fantastic.

It's got to be the 55 Chevy from Two Lane Blacktop.

Genevieve from the film of the same name , Dodge Challenger from Vanishing Point even though I find yank cars to be like tractors. Probe 15 from Clockwork Orange to name just a few

another vote for the Ferrari 250 GT California Spider SWB (and Mia Sara to go with it please). As above though - the one used in the film was actually a modified MGB.

How about a British car, your only posting pics of fat yank cars, there must be better ones.

I always considered this definitely one of the strangest the product of a drug trip no doubt...scaled up to the size of a bus it would make one cool limo
