10 Superhero Vehicles Almost As Cool As The Green Hornet’s Jeremy Clarkson ain’t got nothing on these bad boys…
It’s not fair. It just isn’t. Not only do superheroes have superpowers, get all the girls, and generally have all the fun – they also, by and large, get to drive ludicrously cool vehicles fitted with all kind of crazy bad-guy-destroying goodness. Miniguns, flamethowers, grappling hooks: you name it, they’ll have ‘em, the swine. So in honour of The Green Hornet’s beloved steed, The Black Beauty, we’ve gathered together 10 other would-be competitors for the Best Superhero Vehicle crown for you to decide which is the best. So let us know in the comment box below: which would you rather have?
Film: The Green Hornet (2011) Owner:The Green Hornet / Britt Reid (Seth Rogen)
Features: Black Beauty, a 1964-1966 Chrysler Imperial, is a car like no other. As much a lead in the film as Seth Rogen and Jay Chou, this star car packs a screen presence precious few other vehicles could dream of (shame there hasn’t been a Knight Rider film, really). It also boasts a GM Performance ZZ454 500hp crate motor and Race Trans Turbo 400 manual valve body transmission, in case you were wondering. Then there are the miniguns that pop out of the hood, its suicide doors with 12-Gauge AR-15 machine guns, another minigun in the boot, an m2 flamethrower in the front grill, 12 front and rear stinger missiles, giant spikes that come out of the wheels and all the bulletproof accoutrements you’d expect of a giant flashy gun on wheels. Sure, that does somewhat detract from the luggage space, but overall: awesome.

Technically Arnie in Terminator 2 wasn't a super hero but a hero none the less and his iron horse deservers a mention... After all it is jumping off 50 foot drops into storm drains.... You couldn't imagine the T800 driving anything but the Harley-Davidson FLSTF 1340cc Fatboy. A big 'fuck you' mean machine for a big 'fuck you' mean machine... Harley released the Fatboy as direct competition to the Japanese bike makers cheap looking imitation Harleys (know as 'poor mans harleys') such as the Honda Shadow and the Yamaha 'Star' ranges... Incidentally Harley got the name 'Fatboy' from the names of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan at the end of WW2... Fatman and Little boy.... mmmeeeeooowwwww!!!!....... Read More
