5 TV/film cars that you would love to own...
Discussion
There have been many great cars in TV shows/films over the years and some have even outshone the "stars" of the shows and been characters in their own right. I'm sure that the manufacturers also see some commercial benefit in the stars driving their latest models, whether that's James Bond, Vin Diesel or the latest Marvel superhero. So, which cars have you really wanted to own over the years as a result of seeing them on the Silver Screen? I can't say that the cars from the TV shows (Knight Rider/Dukes of Hazzard/The A-Team) that I watched as a kid have dated so well, so my top 5 are all from films.
Porsche 911 Turbo (Bad Boys)
Ferrari 550 Maranello (Bad Boys 2)
A bit leftfield for a Bond film but the Ferrari F355 GTS from Goldeneye
And by far my favourite "Bond" car
And finally, not a great film and perhaps a little forgotten now but the Pontiac GTO from XXX
Surprisingly none of the cars from the F&F franchise really stood out for me but if we're talking bikes, I would love a Triumph Speed Triple, BMW S1000R and BMW rNineT from "Mission Impossible", the BMW cruiser (1200C?) from "Tomorrow Never Dies" and the two Kawasakis (GPZ/Ninja H2) from "Top Gun/Top Gun: Maverick").

I know it was a fake, but I bloody loved that car.
My first Bond film and more my era than the DB5. Note Volante spec, pre-“winterised”, which I prefer
Arguably cheesy, it was never going to win Oscars, but I wanted one of these badly and would still have one now…..with a better engine
Whatever you think of the Fast and Furious franchise, Dodge Chargers are cool
Last, and definitely not least, this. The noise it made in the intro (dubbed, of course, but who cares) alone means it makes this list

Some great suggestions in this thread already
I’ll probably get ridiculed but I really liked that green Mitsubishi Eclipse from the first Fast and the Furious film. Also the Dodge Charger. The Miura from the Italian Job. The TVR Tuscan from Swordfish. The Mustang Shelby GT500 from Gone in 60 Seconds. Probably loads more I have forgotten
