Everyone has their own definition of what makes a car iconic. The iconic quotient of a car is measured in terms of speed, looks, price, exclusivity, and many more factors. It’s like paying in the minimum deposit casinos – you want the best one for you.
In this article, we’ll take you through the four most iconic cars of all time and what makes them more special is that all of these babies are cherished by your favorite celebrities.
Ready, Set, Go
Porsche 911
Call 911 as the first car on our list is set to burn any other manufacturer who tries to best it. A classic icon of design and technology, the Porsche 911 is a masterpiece in itself. The rear-engine design is a work of art, no other carmaker has successfully interpreted such a design in their car. The argument that the rear-mounted engine shouldn’t work (but it does!) goes on to date.
The thing about the 911 is that you’re instantly attracted to it, it is sleek and elegant. Which makes it the top choice for Hollywood A-listers like,
- Tom Cruise
- David Beckham
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
Bugatti Veyron
Named after the Bugatti development engineer Pierre Veyron, the Bugatti Veyron is stunning. As stated by Jeremy Clarkson, “A Veyron is quite the most stunning piece of automotive engineering ever created.”
Quoted to go from 0-62mph at just 2.46 seconds, the car sets the benchmark for sports cars with its brilliant looks, speed, and power. At full pelt, the Veyron is said to drain the tank within 13 minutes. At first, when Volkswagen’s Ferdinand Piech pitched to Bugatti his dream car that would cost one million euros and had 1000bhp, it seemed impossible.
But it was made possible and it is now the crowning jewel of Bugatti. Celebrities that ride the Veyron are,
- Cristiano Ronaldo
- Jay-Z
- Ralph Lauren
Aston Martin DB5
This beautiful car with a 282 bhp engine, 4.0-litre which was later manufactured with a 5-speed transmission is the epitome of class. This jaw-dropping beauty is endorsed by none other than 007 himself. For over half a century DB5 is eminently one of the most recognizable cars, the chrome and the leather define this car giving it a striking appeal.
The Aston Martin DB5 is currently owned by the following celebs (although the first name is enough, we still have two more celebrities who proudly flaunt their DB5’s and for good reason),
- James Bond
- Paul McCartney
- George Harrison
Jaguar E-Type
Very few cars have the power of leaving people speechless and the Jaguar E-Type is one of them. It forces the bystanders to keep looking at it until it’s out of sight. The long bonnet, twin centered exhausts, and the chrome!
The Jaguar E-Type is simply wondrous to behold. This cool car designed by Malcolm Sayer is in fact so cool that it is now a piece of art. Literally!
The Museum of Modern Art in New York has included the blue roadster in its permanent collection for its beautiful and artistic design.
The stars that can go out in their Jaguar E-Type are,
- Steve McQueen
- Frank Sinatra
- Austin Powers
