1981 DMC DeLorean–Real-World Specs

Under the hood, the DeLorean was a bit less futuristic. It had a 2.85L V6 engine co-developed by Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo, with just 130 horsepower. The top speed? Around 110 mph, which might not seem fast today—but its looks more than made up for it.
1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Pursuit Special–Mad Max: Fury Road

In the high-octane wasteland of Mad Max: Fury Road, few vehicles were as terrifying—and fast—as the Pursuit Special. Also known as the “Last of the V8 Interceptors,” this car became Max Rockatansky’s personal chariot of vengeance.
Its post-apocalyptic styling, blown engine protruding from the hood, and signature black paint made it the ultimate road warrior.
1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Pursuit Special–Real-World Specs

The actual car started life as a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT, only sold in Australia. It featured a 351-cubic-inch (5.8L) Cleveland V8, making 300+ hp and hitting a top speed of roughly 142 mph. So when Max put his foot down, the world definitely knew it.
1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder–Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, this car wasn’t just a vehicle—it was a character. The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder was the crown jewel of Cameron’s dad’s garage (and ultimately, the source of Ferris' most daring stunt).
1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder–Real-World Specs

The real California Spyder is a holy grail of Ferrari collectors. It sported a 3.0L V12 with up to 280 hp, sprinting to 60 mph in under 7 seconds—blisteringly fast for the early ’60s.
Top speed: 140 mph, making it one of the fastest convertibles of its era.
1964 Aston Martin DB5–Goldfinger

When it comes to movie cars, nothing is more quintessentially cool than the Aston Martin DB5 driven by James Bond in Goldfinger. With machine artillery, oil slicks, and an ejector seat, it set the standard for spy-car excellence.
Sean Connery’s suave style made this car a cinematic legend.
1964 Aston Martin DB5–Real-World Specs

Underneath all the gadgets, the DB5 was no slouch. It featured a 4.0L inline-six, producing 282 hp and a top speed of 145 mph. Its elegant design and British engineering brilliance helped cement its icon status—not just in movies, but in real-life automotive circles.
1970 Dodge Challenger RT–Vanishing Point

This cult classic road movie turned the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T into a symbol of freedom and rebellion. Behind the wheel, Kowalski evades authorities across the American Southwest in a car that practically begs to be pushed to its limits. It was America’s muscle dream, fully realized.
1970 Dodge Challenger RT–Real-World Specs

The Challenger R/T used in the film packed a 426 HEMI V8, delivering up to 425 hp. It roared from 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds, with a top speed nearing 146 mph.
It wasn’t just loud—it was ferociously fast, even by today’s standards.
2014 Subaru Impreza WRX–Baby Driver

In Baby Driver, the red 2014 Subaru WRX roared to life during the film’s high-energy opening heist. With its signature all-wheel drive and agility, it danced through traffic like a stunt driver’s dream. And no—those stunts were not CGI. This car actually performed them.
2014 Subaru Impreza WRX–Real-World Specs

Powered by a 2.5L turbocharged flat-four, the 2014 WRX produced 265 hp and was capable of 0-60 in just 5.4 seconds.
Top speed? Around 159 mph—but what really mattered was the car’s razor-sharp handling and incredible grip.
1968 Lamborghini Miura–The Italian Job

The opening of the original Italian Job features one of the most stylish intros in movie history: a red Lamborghini Miura winding through the Italian Alps before its tragic demise.
For many, it was the first time seeing a supercar on the big screen. And what a sight it was.
1968 Lamborghini Miura–Real-World Specs

The Miura was a game-changer—widely considered the world’s first true supercar. With a 3.9L V12, it pushed out 350 hp and could reach 174 mph. It was the fastest production car in the world when it debuted—and looked like a spaceship.
1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 Fastback–Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)

Nicknamed “Eleanor,” this car was the crown jewel in the heist film Gone in 60 Seconds. It wasn’t just fast—it was fierce, with a custom body kit and a roaring engine note that sent shivers down spines.
1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 Fastback–Real-World Specs

The ’67 GT500 featured a 428 cubic-inch V8, delivering around 355 hp. It hit 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds, and had a top speed of 130+ mph. But with modifications like Eleanor’s, it could easily push into the 150 mph range, making it the baddest pony on the screen.
2002 Aston Martin Vanquish–Die Another Day

Pierce Brosnan’s Bond didn’t just drive the Vanquish—he drove one that could turn invisible. While that tech might be fantasy, the car itself was very real and very fast. Its sleek lines and throaty V12 engine made it feel like stealth on wheels.
2002 Aston Martin Vanquish–Real-World Specs

The Vanquish featured a 5.9L V12, pumping out 460 hp and launching to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
Top speed? A staggering 190 mph, making it one of the fastest Astons ever at the time—and one of Bond’s most capable rides.
2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello–Bad Boys II

In Bad Boys II, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence tear through Miami in a Ferrari 575M Maranello—spitting gravel, dodging bullets, and looking hella good doing it. It was loud, aggressive, and absolutely unforgettable.
