Ben Pulman, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 27        Year of release: 2006 The car: Ferrari F430 Spider Why it’s special: Because every Ferrari invariably is. This Prancing Horse features a mid-mounted 483bhp 4.3-litre V8 that’s visible through a glass panel. Best bit: The F430 getting nailed down the freeway, spitting blue flame on every up-change. Pub fact: While you might all remember the white Testarossa, the ...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Rated 4 out of 5

Greg Fountain, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 17       Year of release: 1968 The car: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Why it’s special: Because it was written by Ian Fleming – whose stories revelled in cool cars – it always looked promising, but the crisp script, catchy score and excellent cast (featuring Goldfinger himself, Benny Hill and the unforgettable Robert Helpmann as the fiendish child-catcher) it turned into ...

Rated 5 out of 5

Ben Barry, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 26        Year of release: 1969 The car: Lamborghini Miura Why it’s special: Great scenery, brilliant driving roads, amazing car, Matt Munro soundtrack – what could possibly go wrong? Best bit: The Miura’s utterly unexpected fiery demise at the end of a long tunnel. If this film hadn’t already got your attention 100 percent, it has now. Pub fact: The ...

Pontiac Trans Am - Smokey and The Bandit

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Ben Barry, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 19       Year of release: 1977. The car: Pontiac Trans Am. Why it’s special: It’s one long car chase that doesn’t trouble itself too much with plot – and its bootlegging theme complemented by muscle cars surely gave rise to the Dukes Of Hazzard. Best bit: The bridge jump. Naturally there’s a sizeable chunk of bridge missing that the Bandit ...

Aston Martin DBS - Casino Royale

Rated 2 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 11       Year of release: 2006. The car: Aston Martin DBS. Why it’s special: Casino Royale relaunched the 007 franchise, going back to the beginning of Bond’s licence to kill career. Best bit: Not Daniel Craig frolicking in the ocean! We prefer Bond’s parkour-inspired chase sequence through a building site that ends in the Liberian embassy. Pub fact: Initially the ...

Citroen 2CV - For Your Eyes Only

Rated 3 out of 5

Greg Fountain, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 20       Year of release: 1981. The car: Citroen 2CV. Why it’s special: It’s great fun to see 007 reduced to escaping in such a lame old sh*tbox after his Esprit explodes. The 2CV mysteriously does a sterling job of keeping two pursuing Peugeot 504s at bay in a chase involving switchback roads through steep-sloping olive groves. Best bit: The ...

Ranking: 22        Year of release: 1976. The car: Ferrari 275 GTB (audio), 6.9-litre Mercedes 450 SEL (actual car). Why it’s special: It’s nine minutes of flat-out driving across Paris. In traffic. With pedestrians. No closed roads, and no safety considerations. Best bit: All of it. It’s a single take of nine minutes, as that’s all the film the camera could ...

Aston Martin V8 - Living Daylights

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 37       Year of release: 1987 The car: Everyone’s favourite secret agent is back with his usual Aston Martin transport. This one’s (mostly) a V8 Vantage Volante, although there are continuity errors. Why it’s special: Various cars wear the B549 WUU number plate in The Living Daylights. One of the Vantages used actually belonged to Aston chairman Victor Gauntlett. There’s no ...

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Barry, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 40       Year of release: 1971 The car: Plymouth Valiant. Why it’s special: It’s a psychological car chase. Best bit: When the Plymouth starts to overheat and the truck comes slowly into focus in the background Pub fact: Duel was originally shown as a 74-minute-long TV movie, but director Steven Spielberg added 16 more minutes to make it film-length. These extra ...
