These cars would make excellent movie getaway vehicles

Jason Bourne lands in cinemas today, and it features a set piece near the finale that threatens to trump any action sequence the previous films have accomplished.

They shut down the Las Vegas strip - the first time that's ever been done for a film chase - and let rip. Up front is a SWAT van, and in hot pursuit is Matt Damon's Jason Bourne, in a Dodge Charger. It's quite fantastic.

It also got us thinking - what would make an excellent movie getaway vehicle? We've asked you this same question before, and so in this gallery is a list of your suggestions, and a few from the Top Gear office. They broadly cover two dimensions: 'discreet and fast', and 'so bombastic it doesn't matter'.

Dive in, and let us know what else you think should have made this completely unofficial, and not-at-all-definitive list of cool getaway cars.

Your starter for ten is...

Surely one of the finest getaway cars in existence, no? Discreet, supremely fast - especially in S8 Plus trim - and built to last.

It just had to be on this list. So quick it upset the Daily Mail: 377bhp and a 176mph top speed makes it the perfect machine for evading film baddies.

Sensing a theme here people? Discreet, four-doors, ballistically quick? Check, check and, um, check. The new BMW M5 Competition packs a whopping 592bhp. It is enough.

Last year, in celebration of one million Hilux models being sold in South Africa, Toyota released a one-off, 450bhp V8-engined pick-up. Because why the hell not? Engine from a Lexus IS-F super saloon, and the mother of off-roading capability. Film directors, PUT THIS IN YOUR MOVIE.

Why the Brabus? Because power. The famed German tuner decided to up the G500's ponies to 493bhp and 523lb ft of torque from the biturbo 4.0-litre V8. Lots of ground clearance, much power, some tuning trinkets. Probable ability to drive over some things.

Now we're cooking. The Polestar Volvos have always been supremely cool, and with 362bhp and that subtle V60 body, this one makes a perfect film car candidate. Yes, gone is the rorty straight-six underneath, but a hugely powerful turbo'd four-pot works just fine. Plus, you could always overlay the set piece with a completely false, unrelated V8 soundtrack. Could work.

For obvious reasons. It's a GT-R. It's already been in movies. It's quite indestructible and packs enough power to evade capture from this or any other movie world's fictional authorities.

However, if you want to make the GT-R look entirely ballistic on camera, perhaps you'd appreciate this next one instead...

...yup. Clad it in black. Deploy a committed driftsman on board. Cue the cameras. Slide. OK, so perhaps this record-breaking GT-R - which holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest ever drift (at 190mph) - won't be the perfect getaway vehicle, what with its propensity to drive everywhere mostly sideways. But it'd certainly look the best. Ergo any drift car.

It has eight-wheel drive and eight-wheel steer. It measures 6.3 metres and weighs 4.8-tonnes. It'll cost around £88k. And rest assured, no baddie in the history of cinema will be able to slow you down.

Top Gear drives the Avtoros Shaman

Yep, Top Gear's Car of the Year makes a great case for a movie getaway car. Partly because it's fast, grippy and involving, but mostly because IT'S GOT A DRIFT BUTTON. Drift buttons, as you obviously know, are our favourite kind of buttons.
