Famous cars

21 January 1981 was released the first DeLorean DMC-12 - one of the most amazing cars in the world. But he became famous largely due to shooting in the trilogy "Back to the Future." I would like to recall a few cars that have become famous thanks to shootings in popular films. DeLorean DMC-12
Cars built by DeLorean, became world famous thanks to the participation in the trilogy "Back to the Future." At the time of filming the first part of a fantastic epic DMC-12 has already been removed from production and perhaps would have remained in oblivion, despite the ambitious project. But the incredible design makes it look like, according to director Robert Zemeckis on "alien spacecraft", and gave the brainchild of John DeLorean lucky ticket to the world fame.
However, the idea to build a time machine into a car, based on the filmmakers did not come immediately. In the original scenario, Dr. Emmett Brown had to build your first machine based on laser setup, then completely on the basis of the refrigerator. But Zemeckis was opposed to children watching the film, they climbed into the refrigerator. Moreover, he rightly believed that a time machine has to be mobile, so in the third draft of the script there was a car.





The story itself DeLorean DMC-12 is worthy of a separate article, as is an example of extremely interesting, but sad experiment. The car was produced from 1981 to 1983, its construction was utterly original, the look - desperately extravagant, and wishing to purchase new product before the start of production was quite a lot. However, far-reaching plans of a talented engineer, it was decided not to come true: a number of reasons and events have led to the collapse of his company, and he himself - in the dock, where he miraculously landed in jail. DMC-12 was released almost nine thousandth edition, after which its production was halted.



Chevrolet Camaro
Of course, many already were familiar with one of the brightest pony cars, but the output of the blockbuster "Transformers" definitely fueled interest in him and introduced him, even those who are not interested in cars. "It's the same Bumblebee!" - Enthusiastically began to sing and the children, and the young lady at the sight on the roads of the new Chevrolet Camaro the fifth generation. However, this began to happen a little bit later than the screens out the first film directed by Michael Bay, he was shot in 2007, so that the role of a brave and friendly Autobot it played (besides Camaro 1977) concept of the future trends of 2009. But in the following parts toured already in full production model. And for especially ardent fans of the epic General Motors released spetspaket Transformers Special Edition with firm and yellow Autobot badges on the body and in the cabin.



It is noteworthy that in the animated series, which preceded the film, Bumblebee transformed into a Volkswagen Beetle, but Michael Bay flatly rejected this idea, since the United States has had a whole series of films about the "revived" "Bug" named Herbie.



Peugeot 406
In 1998, the whole world thundered eccentric, dynamic and very funny thriller from Luc Besson, in which the cavalier Marseille taxi driver Daniel, turning his Peugeot 406 in the fastest car of the city, not only sending a shock through road of peace officers, but also helps the police to defuse gang insidious robbers in black "Mercedes". The original Peugeot 406, involved in film, and without that was quite powerful and dynamic 207 "horses" under the hood, and the potential to accelerate to 240 km / h.



However, the protagonist of the film that was not enough, and he modified his sedan in the summer (in all senses!) Car. 406 minutes, including a restyling version of 1999, starred in three parts bessonovskoy militants, but by the time filming of the fourth chapter of the adventures of a taxi driver-extremals production models have already been completed, since Daniel moved to his successor - Peugeot 407.



Aston Martin DB5
Real English spy - real English car! Probably, this guided and writer Ian Fleming, and director Guy Hamilton, seating James Bond in the automaker's production of Warwickshire. DB5 was not the only model of Aston Martin, which superspy operated in 23 films, but it definitely is the main and most recognized Bond car.
The first DB5, equipped with interchangeable number signs, guns, armchair-catapult and other developments of the Department Q, appeared in "Goldfinger" in 1964. However, the literary father of 007 chosen for his Aston Martin DB Mark III, but the creators of the film adaptation prefer just left DB5. A year later, the same car took part in the filming of "Thunderball." Then other instances of the model appeared to viewers in nine other films including "Casino Royale" and "007: Coordinates" Skayfoll "».



DB5 was issued just three years: from 1963 to 1965, but almost half a century film history more than compensated for such a short period of production. On the approach of the new Bond film, and who knows, maybe in October 2015, we will again see on the screens of the good old Aston Martin DB5, the eyeballs stuffed with a variety of gadgets, makes this car and its driver omnipotent.



Brand Plymouth, in the history of which there were many original, outstanding vehicles have long ceased to exist, but the memory of this once one of the most popular in America, the brand always retained a horror movie John Carpenter's "Christine" on the novel by Stephen King.
The appearance of a typical representative of the "American Dream" 50 and his name means in translation "Rage" leave no question as to why the writer chose as the revived Demon on Wheels is Plymouth Fury. Very aggressive design of a body in the then fashionable style of fin; predatory grille; twin headlights as evil eyes under bushy eyebrows frowning; original curved chrome bumper, if ominous pursed lips - no need to have a rich imagination to see in this insidious monster Iron Giant.



Well, the blood-red color only adds to the feeling, but it is only fiction: in reality Fury is only available in a beige color options. The model was produced from 1956 to 1989, the film involved a car 1958 model year, with a 5, a 2-liter V8 engine with capacity of 290 liters. from. He could accelerate to 240 km / h, which is celebrated in King's work as absolutely fantastic, while unprecedented speed. In filming "Christine" were used 23 "violent» Plymouth, from which the whole by the end of the work on the tape were only three.



Shelby Mustang GT500
In 1974 he appeared on the screens picture "Gone in 60 Seconds," which entered the history of cinema as a film with the longest car chases. After 26 years, Dominic Sena took a remake of the famous tape of skillful Hijackers expensive cars. In both parts of featured an impressive list of legendary cars, each of which deserves special attention. But the most memorable, the most prominent and most liked by the audience was the Shelby Mustang GT500 1967 release, became known as "Eleanor».



Under the hood of this beauty in the marked body fastback I worked 375 hp 7-liter V8. Production Ford Mustang began in 1964 with 2, 8-liter model. In 1965, the development of a particularly powerful versions were attracted Design Bureau of the legendary Carroll Shelby, and a collaboration, apart GT350, and became the GT500. "Mustang" is sometimes referred to as the class maslkarov, but in fact, they are contiguous class - the so-called pony cars: cars that are "imitated" maslkaram but were smaller and did not have a particularly powerful base engines. By the way, it was in honor of the Ford Mustang pony cars and were so named.



BMW 750 E38
BMW cars have never complained about the lack of attention on the part of Russian motorists. In the "dashing 90" with "six hundredth" "Mercedes" in Russia can compete unless the top-end "beha". Well, with the release of the 2003 crime drama "Boomer" Peter Buslova "seven" in the back of E38 has got a special honor.
Characters of touring model with an index of 750 - the most powerful version of "Seven", produced from 1994 to 2001. Under the hood - 5, 5-horsepower V12 power of 326 hp. from. Also used in "Boomer" car - a long version with index L: its wheelbase by 14 centimeters longer than that of peers. By the way, at the time of the film's release in the BMW 7 this body no longer produced - in 2001 it was replaced by a completely new model of the fourth generation.



Of course, this role - not only the participation of the 750 th "Boomer" to the cinema: besides occasional flicker in a variety of foreign films and domestic TV series, BMW 750 flaunted, for example, in the eighteenth of the "James Bond" "Tomorrow Never Dies", in " carrier "and" RocknRolla ».
Probably, especially for vehicles, particularly "talent" was lit in motion pictures, just right to open its "Walk of Fame" where they would be left traces of their tires. But as long as it does not, some of them glisten napolirovannymi Capote in museums and exhibitions; others - all partake of the delights of care caring collectors; others, unfortunately, are gathering dust in some seedy garage; and the other is unknown and completely disappeared. But they are definitely a long time to be perceived not only as a symbolic model of the automobile industry, as well as real movie heroes.
