In truth, not solely did I take into consideration that, however I additionally requested our fantastic readers what automobiles they thought need to be featured in a chase scene in a film or tv present.

My instance was the 2004 Chrysler ME Four-Twelve idea, a mid-engine supercar with a quad-turbo AMG V12 and a prime pace of 248 mph. It would’ve been perfected for an early-aughts sci-fi flick, however I feel even now the ME Four-Twelve would look proper at dwelling in a contemporary film, particularly one with a futuristic setting. While a few of you additionally picked supercars or different fashions suited to forward-thinking movies, there have been all types of nice solutions from minivans to Malaise-era boats. I’ve rounded up my favourite submissions, which you at the moment are studying.

Not CGI. Chase an actual F1 with an actual XJ220 utilizing sensible results cowards.

The Thelma & Louise automotive is iconically a 1966 Thunderbird, however that is a really totally different kind of vibe than you are envisioning, so I’ll enable it.

Remember the scene in Days Of Thunder the place the 2 NASCAR drivers are racing to dinner in rental automobiles? A Taurus and a Lumina, IIRC. And they’re THRASHED on the finish.

I’d like to see an identical scene utilizing first gen Chrysler minivans. Maybe the state of affairs is a few 80s soccer mothers are racing to get to the college pickup line, and they’re doing the complete “rubbing is racing” by means of a suburban neighborhood to a close-by elementary faculty. They get there, and each of them are simply bashed and steaming.

I all the time had a imaginative and prescient of an epic automotive chase between the Evo and WRX, that begins within the metropolis bullet fashion, however then takes the chase into the woods on a path, then again to tarmac. We’ll say the Evo X vs the present gen WRX in a Rivals, cat/mouse kind of chase, with the large unhealthy in fact being the Evo, I’ll let the Subaru win in the long run, however my lord it will be epic!

I’m considering a brand new James Bond movie the place a nasty man (not essentially the kingpin), flees from Bond (perhaps with stolen items or essential info?) in a…prepared?… A WRC rally automotive…after which Bond shoves one other driver out of their racecar to chase! Really–so far as insane viewing pleasure with automobiles, what’s higher than WRC rally automobiles? The sounds, the tight roads full of boulders and bushes and cliff edges, JUMPS! that are not phony, in-car views of the drivers insanely sawing on the steering wheel, shifting, yanking on the hand brake? C’mon, Hollywood! This is what we ALL need! It is, belief me!

I really like the thought of a rally automotive cat and mouse chase.

A giant, fats supply truck like Amazon or UPS. The upright driving place, sliding doorways, cargo maintain stuffed with ???, massive profile and designed-in sturdiness of the chassis might…ship…a reasonably distinctive bang-em-up chase scene. The scene might finish with some comedian reduction: the victorious Amazon truck involves a screeching halt, then gently reverses away whereas making that synthetic duck noise.

The Rivian van would look nice on display screen, I feel.

Microcars. Messerschmitt KR200, BMW Isetta, and so on. Through some tight and twisty areas like by means of buildings.

Peel Tridents! Indoors, up and down escalators, and so on.

An “Italian Job”–fashion microcar chase could be numerous enjoyable.

How about 70’s period land yachts? Nothing higher than watching a ’76 Sedan DeVille try a nook at something over 30mph and never lose its tail… Maybe I ought to watch extra outdated TV exhibits like The Rockford Files.

I second! One of my favourite films is “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World” primarily as a result of it is a bunch of outdated boats and vehicles tooling round the entire time haha. One of the very best demolition derbies I’ve been to, had a complete bunch of M-body Dodges. They had been hilarious! AND, unstoppable. The sole survivors had been the M our bodies and one plastic Saturn.

Geo Metro with the three cylinder. Slow automotive quick. Ha ha

Have 2 of them chase one another, in regular site visitors. So the drivers have their foot to the ground, and they’re winding them out, consistently shifting to maintain them within the powerband. Shots from contained in the automotive look straight out of Fast And Furious. Outside photographs, all of the common Camrys and Caravans are driving usually and nonetheless pulling away simply.

Renault Clio V6. Let’s see some RWD mid-engine hatchback drifting.

Submitted by: Giantsgiants

Oh my gosh. An Altima. Make it the star of the entire present too, and the one factor low finances in regards to the film is the primary character’s credit score rating. The automotive will get concerned in tons of automotive hijinks. Driving by means of buildings like Lethal Weapon 4, taking out cops Blues Brothers fashion, and leveling a whole metropolis block with irresponsible driving, directed by Michael Bay. I’ll even spoil the ending: this occurs simply on the way in which to the BUY HERE PAY HERE lot the dude picked it up from.
