The Most Iconic and Memorable Movie Cars to Ever Hit the Silver Screen

Speed Racer Mach 5

The real-life version of the iconic Mach 5 from the 1960s cartoon Speed Racer, took about a year to build. A father and son duo set out to build a project car and after doing some research they reached out to Speed Racer Enterprises to work with their design team to perfect the build. The car is built on a Corvette chassis with a wraparound windshield. It has cool gadget features like the cartoon version, with things like a functional periscope and working saw blades. Currently, it tours the country with Speed Racer Enterprises and sometimes even rides along the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade route in NYC.
