Within the limits of most definitions of a road car, we have no doubt that this is the fastest car made today. For us it is the most exciting projectile we have ever been fortunate enough to handle, an electrifying sensation of a car which picks up its skirts and goes in response to the throttle like a proverbial bat out of hell.-By autocar in 1971.
4. Aston martin DB5
Is there a more famous Aston Martin than the DB5? It’s a stunning example of Sixties British cool and a genuine movie legend. A starring role as James Bond’s car in the Goldfinger and Thunderball films confirmed it as a national treasure, and generations have grown up watching it on screen and playing with the toy version – which remains the best-selling Corgi model of all-time.-By autoexpress.co.uk.

3. Shelby GT500 (1967)
The role this car plays in films such as the fast and the furious realy reflects how it used to be a real cool thing that everyone wants. Even lying about the horse power given couldn't change how much of an aphrodisiac it could be. Shame the years effected how it looked in the eyes of the public because now it's seen as a history book for your grandparents to bore you with.-By mefoxy123
2. Dodge charger
The 1970 Dodge Charger came in three versions -- base, 500 and R/T, with an optional SE package that included leather seats, a wood-finished steering wheel and an electric sunroof. The base model had a measly slant six with 145-horsepower, while the 500, no longer a performance model, was offered with a 318 standard or the 383 two- or four-barrel carb. The big addition in the R/T models this year was the 440 Six Pack, getting 390 bhp. The three 2-barrel carburetor was an alternative to the 4-barrel, 375 bhp 440 Magnum. The 426 Hemi was given hydraulic lifts. All these big word give you a perspective on how menacingly cool this car was.-By cargurus.com, edited by mefoxy123.
1. Jaguar E-type
Ten years ago the Jaguar E-Type almost exploded on the motoring scene and it was hailed by many, including Autocar, as a major breakthrough in the design of high performance vehicles for sale to the public. It fast became the ultimate and most coveted machine on the sports car market.-By autocar.
