When you're hunting supernatural creatures, you need a ride that can handle the heat. The 1967 Chevrolet Impala is a classic muscle car that has been through hell and heaven (literally) with the Winchester brothers, serving as their trusty steed in the battle against all things supernatural. It's more than just a car — it’s a symbol, it's a family member, it's a baby.

The Batmobile (Tumbler) — The Dark Knight Trilogy

Since this iconic vehicle hit the streets, Gotham City has never slept more peacefully. Though we have seen its fair share of Batmobiles over the years, none has made as big an impression as the Tumbler from Christopher Nolan 's The Dark Knight Trilogy.

This rugged, military-inspired vehicle redefined the iconic crime-fighting car, and its epic chases through the streets of Gotham left fans around the world begging for more.

No vehicle is more famous than the DeLorean DMC-12 when it comes to time travel.

1971 Chevrolet Nova SS — Death Proof (2007)

Quentin Tarantino not only gave us the best time of our lives with his over-the-top genius stories, but with his film Death Proof, the director also gave audiences one of the most memorable and menacing movie cars ever — Stuntman Mike's 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS.

As a symbol of vehicular terror, this black muscle car with a skull and a lightning bolt painted on the hood became a testament to the power of a killer ride in the movies.
