Coolest Rides in Movies…

I saw this on MSN today… so, gotta share it with everyone…

Admit it, we just love cars! The sound of the engines, the screech of the tires and the pure adrenaline you get when you hit the pedal to the metal. And of course, superspies, superheroes and robots need a form of transportation too, you know, to help them in their bid to save the world. MSN Entertainment takes a look at some of the coolest rides we have seen in movies. They are no Ferraris, but they are cooler!

So… My favourite…

SAM WITWICKY'S CHEVROLET CAMARO 2010 SS (A.K.A. BUMBLEBEE)

It was in: Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

Why it’s cooler than your ride: We had a tough time choosing between the Autobots, but we decided to go with Bumblebee because he turns into a really hot ride – the Chevrolet Camaro 2010 SS. In the first Transformers movie, Bumblebee took the form of an old and rusted 1974 Camaro, but later, thankfully, he took the form of a much sportier Camaro. When in Bumblebee form, he stands at 16 feet tall and is quite well-armed: with a powerful plasma cannon and a ring-shaped light missile launcher on either shoulder. Bumblebee is also a capable close-combat fighter, evident in Transformers 2. What we absolutely love though is how Bumblebee in Camaro form ensures his owner Sam (Shia LaBeouf) gets a little action from hot girl next door Mikaela (Megan Fox). Now, can your car do that?

Next… also another very very cool suit… rather…

GI JOE’S DELTA-6 ACCELERATOR SUIT

Paramount Pictures/ Image Net

It was in: G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra

Why it’s cooler than your ride: It’s a suit that makes you run faster than your car. The Delta-6 Accelerator Suit is a mechanical exo-skeleton that allows the wearer to run at speeds of more than 100 km per hour. That’s faster than a Perodua Kancil. The bulletproof battle-armor suit is equipped with turbo-hydraulics and high-pressurized pneumatics, enabling the wearer to run faster, jump higher and hit harder than normal. The suit also comes with an ultra-lightweight helmet that is equipped with an advanced cybernetics heads up display (HUD). It shows the wearer laser-enhanced LED readouts from scanning and communications systems. If you think that’s cool, the suit also boasts an impressive weapons system of fully self-contained firepower. With the Accelerator Suit, running to work has never been this much fun. The armour and HUD might be overkill but who needs to workout when you've got an exoskeleton on steroids.

Another very awesome one…

BATMAN’S THE TUMBLER

It was in: Batman Begins and The Dark Knight

Why it’s cooler than your ride: Unlike any other Batmobile, the Tumbler is a tank-like vehicle that has been described as a “cross between a Lamborghini and a Hummer.” The Tumbler looks meaner and it is said to resemble a crouching bat.  This meanie has a Vauxhall/GM capable of 500 horsepower and can accelerate from 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds. The Tumbler has a pair of auto-cannons mounted in the nose of the car between the front wheels. In "Attack" mode, the driver's seat moves to the center of the car, and Batman is repositioned to lay face-down with his head in the center section between the front wheels for better stability. In this “Stealth” mode, the Tumbler automatically switches off its lights and reduces the engine sound enormously, resulting in making the car very hard to find in dark places. In The Dark Knight, Batman ejects from the Tumbler in the Batpod, a super cool motorcycle formed by the front wheels and struts of the Tumbler. Two for the price of one – we like!

So… for the other 7 cars that made to the top 10 list… click here to view them… :) Very very cool indeed!
