James Bond's White Lotus Esprit Is The Best Ever Screen Vehicle
Published: 27th July 2004
Over 1,000 people voted for their favourite screen vehicle in the Yahoo! Search survey and the white Lotus Esprit car was the clear favourite securing almost a third of the vote followed by David Hasslehoff’s car Kit from Knight Rider (17%).
Patrick Oqvist from Yahoo! Search comments:
"Although there’s loads of classic film vehicles out there, our search for the favourite has shown James Bond’s modified Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me a worthy winner. With rear firing mud sprayers, an underwater kit that changes the car into a fully operative submarine, surface-to-air missiles, underwater smoke screens and torpedoes the most desirable screen vehicle has to be Bond’s."
The full results were as follows:
- Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who loved Me (29%)
- Kit from Knight Rider TV film (17%)
- De Lorean from Back To The Future
- Batmobile from Batman (10%)
- Mini from The Italian Job (9%)
- Gran Torino from Starsky & Hutch (6%)
- A-Team Van from The A-Team TV film (5%)
- Danny Zucko’s Greased Lightning from Grease (2%)
- Herbie from Herbie Goes Bananas (2%)
- Reliant Robin from Only Fools & Horses TV films (2%)
