The Aston Martin DB5 from 007: the favorite!
The French are not original. The first place is occupied by one of the most popular movie cars: the James Bond Aston Martin. The investigation having been carried out in the middle of November, the most famous of the secret agents certainly benefited from a nice advertisement with the theatrical release of “Die can wait” on the 25th.e opus of the saga. The beautiful Englishwoman, with elegant lines, collected 30.4% of the votes in his favour. It should be remembered that it is equipped with a 282 hp (SAE) 4 L inline six-cylinder engine, associated with a five-speed ZF gearbox (the automatic gearbox was available as an option). Its body, all in aluminum, is the work of the Italian Carrozzeria Touring. Only 1,021 copies of the coupé were produced. Today, a DB5 is trading around one million euros. Aim for no less than 3 million to ride in one of the 25 DB5 Goldfinger Continuation, a special edition with all the real fake gadgets of the original model like the rotating license plate or the submachine guns in the headlights.
TO HAVE. Driving in the same car as James Bond is possible!
The Batmobile in 2e position…
Second is the Batmobile. The batman’s car won 23% of the vote. However, the Waze survey does not allow us to know which models the respondents dream of driving. So is it the most iconic, that of the film released in 1989, directed by Tim Burton, and starring Michael Keaton? Unless those interviewed have a soft spot for the monstrous Tumbler of the trilogy The dark knight, like fans of the saga? Mystery. For the record, Batman’s first car appeared in a 1939 comic book (Detective Comics # 27). It then took the form of a red roadster. It was not until 1941 that it officially held the name Batmobile.
… and then ?
The ranking then becomes much tighter … With 19.1% of the votes, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (1982) from the K2000 series narrowly doubles Mario’s kart (19%)! The comedian Rémi Gaillard would he have aroused desires by walking the streets of his hometown of Alès and throwing banana peels at the all-rounder in his scale 1 car?
As for the famous “KITT”, she captivated a whole generation of children and adolescents with her spectacular skills for the time such as riding alone or interacting with the famous Michael Knight, played by David Hasselhoff. Notice to amateurs. The society Movie Cars Central offers to drive on track a selection of cars that have had a career on the big screen. KITT or the DeLorean of Back to the future are part of it … A Christmas gift idea for the most cinephiles or series fans among you!
A 5e place occupied by …
We were just talking about it …e place in the ranking achieved by Waze in France, the DeLorean of the film rises Back to the future. The DMC-12 of the 80s won 18.2% of the vote. In the trilogy, Dr. Emmett Brown’s time machine works if the car hits 88 miles per hour (141 km / h) and the “time convector” hits the famous 2.21 “gigowatts”. In real life, the DeLorean is content only with unleaded (forget the trash), and goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.8 seconds, powered by a 130 hp V6 PRV.
