As what the title suggests, we're going to discuss celebrity cars. Not Simon Cowell's Ferrari. We're also not going to invade Jay Leno's garage for us to see his car collection, although I'm planning to do that. Instead, we're discussing cars that are celebrities in its own rights. Remember James Bond? You've been watching it since you were a kid. James Bond will not be James Bond if he does not own a high-tech, pretty sports car. Aston Martin is surely thankful to the James Bond series for using their car models all the tin.e It is perhaps one of the favorite car of the James Bond producer. Of course, the Ford and BMW's are there as well. I specifically recall watching Die Another Day and fell in love with Peirce Brosnan's Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and Jaguar XK. I really told myself then I will do anything just to own one. Seems I need to eat my words haha.
But the most strikingly important film that everybody will agree with, is Transformers. Based from the animated series, it was then brought to film realization with some little changes. Some car models in the animated version were changed in the movie. Lets jot down some of the famous character-car list.
- Optimus Prime - Peterbilt Truck
- BumbleBee - Chevrolet Camaro
- Jazz - Porsche 935
- Ironhide - GMC Topkick C6500
- Ractchet - Hummer H2
- Barricade - Saleen Mustang
These cars will be famous even without an actor or actress simply because they are celebrities themselves who doesn't need famous people to ride them. As what a good friend said, 'they are not made famous by celebrities, these cars can make celebrities'.
