HOLLYWOOD HOT WHEELS: KNOCKOUT ROUND 06


Fifthy rounds of voting our way through Hollywood's most famous TV and movie vehicles have helped us to refine this list down to a short list of some of the most iconic to ever grace the screen. 150 vehicles, whittled down and ready to face tighter scrutiny.

Each Knockout round works like the previous ones but with twice the number of competitors making it harder for fan faves to survive.

Each round you can only vote for a single vehicle in the line up, a pile up of Hollywood wreckage left in the wake.

Make your choice and tell us why it deserves to survive above the others:



VEHICLE KO-42: Gadgetmobile





VEHICLE KO-43: Thunderbird 2





VEHICLE KO-44: 1950 Mercury





VEHICLE KO-45: 1970 Cannonball Trans Am





VEHICLE KO-46: Vanishing Point Dodge Charger





VEHICLE KO-47: Lexus 2054





Which is the Ultimate Hollywood Hot Wheel?

Wow, another toughie.

Firstly, does anyone else remember the Inspector Gadget toys? You could get his car that actually transformed from car to van and back.


That's not a real car, but they did have the version from the Matthew Broderick movie at Dezerland.




I think my vote would go to Thunderbird 2, but that would buck my voting bias for vehicles with wheels in this Hollywood Hotwheels poll.

There's a really nice documentary on the Cannonball Run on Y'Tube, where they talk about the early pioneers and how the coast to shining coast record wasn't broken for decades until...

->Open Spoiler<-

This documentary is WELL worth an hour of your time, it's lovely.

However, for me, it's going to be the Vanishing Point Dodge Challenger. (Charger is the General Lee!)
It's aggressive but not too much like a penis extension like a Trans-AM. IMHO.

I went with the Gadget Mobile. Always thought that was cool.

A complete even split at the moment

Looks like the dodge is now winning.

Yeah, I wrote all that out, then forgot to actually vote. D'oh!
