    Top 5 Iconic Cars From Movies

    Cars have played key roles in many movies throughout the history of cinema, but some models have had more of an impact than others thanks to their time on the silver screen.

    Here are just a few of the vehicles that became movie icons when they were committed to celluloid and projected for adoring audiences worldwide.

    DeLorean DMC-12

    While the DMC-12 may have been a commercial failure when it was originally released, it became a staple of pop culture thanks to its appearance in the Back to the Future franchise in the 1980s and has since become something of a collector’s item.

    With its angular lines, gull-wing doors and atypical interior, there is no doubt that the designers at DeLorean were aiming to make something special when they created the DMC-12. It may not have the vintage charm of some other classic cars for sale, but it has a place in the hearts of millions of movie fans thanks to the exploits of Marty McFly and Doc Brown.

    Aston Martin DB5

    James Bond has jumped behind the wheel of a huge number of different exotic cars over the years, including some hyper-modern models featured in recent outings including 2015’s Sceptre. However, it is the Aston Martin DB5 which has managed to remain the most closely associated with 007 over the decades, first appearing in Goldfinger and then again in Goldeneye and more recently in 2012’s Skyfall.

    While the aesthetics of the DB5 are undeniably antique, it still manages to look stunning thanks to the aerodynamic body and superb silver paint job.

    Ford Mustang Fastback

    Car chases have been pivotal to many great films over the years, but most experts agree that the best pursuit ever shot features in the Steve McQueen-starring classic Bullitt, originally released all the way back in 1968.

    Bullitt helped to make the Ford Mustang Fastback an international hit, bringing American muscle cars to an entirely new audience and also managing to make the most of the San Francisco setting.

    Volkswagen Beetle

    In all likelihood, the Beetle would be a much-loved automobile with or without the help of Hollywood, but there is no doubt that Disney’s comedy caper The Love Bug helped to cement its status as a seriously special car in the late 1960s.

    The filmmakers took advantage of the already personality-rich design of the Beetle in order to create a loveable, sentient racer that spawned lots of spin-offs and even a rumoured recent TV revival.

    Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder

    Like the DeLorean, this car got its big break in the mid-80s when it was featured in a knock-about comedy aimed at kids, in this case, the seminal Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

    In the intervening years, this very rare Ferrari has become one of the most valuable vehicles of all time, which may have something to do with the fact that the Italian automaker only produced 37 models during its brief run over 20 years earlier. Since then its appeal to film fans and car nuts alike has only increased.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
