Cars have played a vital role on screen for over a century, and some have even surpassed to lead as the feature character, protagonist and villain.
Cars have evolved in design since Carl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1886 — from the legendary 1949 Mercury Cope in Rebel Without a Cause, the sophisticated 1964 Aston Martin in James Bond’s Goldfinger through to the futuristic design of the Batmobile in Batman Begins.
