Steve McQueen - both cars and bikes in too many films to mention.
Edited to add - great minds
However the sexiest driver is Vin Diesel

Mel Gibson - Mad Max - The original - Beginning of the movie and the game of "chicken"... and then later on in the movie when he acquires the V8...

...remember, the thread asked for the coolest driver not necessarily the fastest, most qualified, etc etc...

IMHO

er, does Liz Hurley driving the Diablo in Bedazzled count. Stunning from the front but there is a very good reason her face is rarely shot from the side!

It was actually an American kit car replica based on a Corvette chassis.

James Garner in "Grand Prix". He actually did some of his own driving, much against the "advice" of the insurance people. He was the only actor in the film who enjoyed the opportunity to drive the cars.

What did the Ducks of Hazard say when they noticed they were being followed by Boss Hoggs - "We can't go any quacker".
