Even people who don't like cars still
agree that some cars are special. Some cars are so beautiful and unique
that you just can't take your eyes off them. The motor world as we know
it today would not have been the same if it wasn’t for some of these
iconic and incredible cars. They are the classics, the groundbreakers,
the stuff car lovers' dreams are made of… Ford Model T |

The T wasn’t the first automobile
ever, but it still has its place in the history books. It is generally
regarded as the first affordable automobile ever made, the car that
opened travel to the common middle-class American. Without the
popularity of the Model T by Henry Ford, who knows if we would have the
other cars on this list?
Ford Mustang |

Few cars fit the description of
"American Muscle" better than the Mustang. You don't get to become Steve
McQueen's car for no good reason.
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

This was the car everyone dreamed of
when it first came out in 1967, and it was one that they could afford.
The firebird hood painting took this car to its own level of iconic
beauty, and being the star of shows like Knight Rider didn’t do any harm
either. Volkswagen Beetle |

The little beetle is perhaps the most
recognizable car in the world. Also known as the Bug, it was made by
German automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003.
DeLorean DMC-12 |

|
The one and only car ever made by the
Delorean Motor Company, the DMC-12 is simply known as The DeLorean.
While it was really a rather bad and unreliable sports car, no one can
argue that it's looked just amazing. With it's gull-wing doors and a
fiberglass "underbody", there is no wonder this car become the icon of
the "Back to the Future" film trilogy.
Aston Martin Vanquish

Aston Martin will always be the
definitive "Bond Car", due to its many appearances in the famous 007
film series. While it's true that he has driven some other cars over the
years, this car brand and this particular model will always have a
place in my car-loving heart.
Mini Cooper |

The British icon from the 1960s, the
mini was actually an award winning rally car despite of its small
appearance. Over the years it has been the star of many car cases in
films and TV shows, that wanted a small car that performs like the big
boys.
The Batmobile |

No iconic car list will be completed
without it… This 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car gained immortality when
it was used in the 1960s live action Batman TV show with Adam West and
Burt Ward.
Rolls Royce Phantom |

Since early 1925 and until today, few
cars have more class and style than the Phantom. It is made in the
United Kingdom and many consider it the perfect saloon car in the whole
world.
Bugatti Veyron |

The Concorde of the motor world, the
Veyron is the meeting point for the most incredible numbers and design
features any car lover can dream of. If you have never heard of this car
before than you have missed out on one of the best cars ever made.
Ferrari F50 |

It's hard to say which Ferrari is the
best looking one but the F-50 is a true thing of beauty if you ask me.
Only 349 were made, and yet millions of them decorated the bedrooms of
little boys all over the world.
Dodge Viper |

My personal favorite. First released in 1992 it immediately gain popularity for it's stunning and aggressive look.
Porsche 911

The iconic flagship of the German
sports car, the 911 has been in production since 1963, and yet it always
kept its unique beauty and design.
Thrust SSC |

Part car part jet. This car is the
official holder of the land speed record, set on 15 October 1997. It
achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first car to
officially break the sound barrier.
Maybach Exelero |

One of the most expansive cars in the world, this stunning combination of speed and luxury costs over 8 Million US dollars.
