Question of the Week

From Bond's Aston to the Tumbler: these are your favourite movie cars ever

Other appearances include the most adorable Beetle and of course, Eleanor

Published: 20 Jun 2025

Earlier this week, we asked you lot which movie car you most want to take home, having been inspired by the appearance (and subsequent sale) of one of three original Mazda RX-7s from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Here’s what UnicyclistPeriscopes said: “Batman’s Tumbler could probably deal with Wiltshire’s potholes, so I’ll take one of those.”

Probably more a question of whether Wiltshire can deal with the Tumbler. Abby’s up next: “If I take the time-travelling DeLorean from Back to the Future, I can just keep going back in time to pick up all the cars I want. Easy.”

Want another smart answer? Here's what MJCGT500's father said: "In a world with rising sea levels, there's only one car for the job. Forward-thinking from 1977 means you can look suave in your Lotus Esprit, but a few buttons later you can find yourself in the comfort of your submarine cruising down Oxford Street."

AllTorqueV8 has, predictably, gone V8: “Right off the bat, the Ford Falcon XB/GT from Mad Max. That car is pure filth. I don't care if the supercharger doesn't activate at the pull of a lever; I'd want it in there for show. And with everything going electric, it would feel even more true saying it's the last of the V8 Interceptors. A piece of history..." 

Siddarth G then commented: “I'm surprised no one has picked Eleanor from the Nicolas Cage version. I know muscle car enthusiasts deride it, but I grew up on that movie, and it's a real childhood dream car.”

Know what else taps into those distant memories? Samarkand Tony’s option: “Herbie. A self-driving car that’s not just a few driver aids and a load of marketing. That or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

This week’s final entry comes from N328KF, who said: “The Aston Martin DB10 from Spectre is my all-time favourite. The design foreshadows the current Vantage, but leans more toward elegance than anger. It’s a shame a design that gorgeous didn’t make production, but at least the Vantage has some of its DNA.”
