The Coolest Cars in Gone in 60 Seconds, Ranked
Car fanatics, buckle up! Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) gave us one of the most iconic car heist films of all time, packed with adrenaline-pumping action and an unforgettable lineup of 50 exotic and classic rides. But not all the cars were equally jaw-dropping. We’re counting down the top 25 cars from the movie—from the least cool to the absolute showstopper. Let’s dive into the ultimate garage raid.
#25 - 1999 Cadillac Escalade
Driven by Donny Astricky (Chi McBride), this full-size SUV was more practical than thrilling. The Escalade had luxury, sure, but it wasn’t built for high-speed chases. Under the hood, it had a 5.7L V8 pushing 255 hp—not bad, but not mind-blowing either. Big, bulky, and best for hauling the crew, not burning rubber.

#24 - 1987 Ferrari Testarossa
While the Testarossa screams 1980s excess, its performance feels a little dated today. With a flat-12 engine producing 390 hp, it still turns heads, but its handling wasn't built for tight getaways. In the film, it barely got any screen time, which hurt its cool factor. Classic? Yes. Coolest? Not quite.

#23 - 2000 Volvo V70R
This might seem like an oddball choice, but hear us out. Kip Raines (Giovanni Ribisi) gets behind the wheel of this turbocharged sleeper. With AWD and 261 hp, it could move, but it’s still a grocery-getter at heart. The coolness comes from the surprise factor, but that’s about it.
#22 - 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL600
With its 6.0L V12 and 389 hp, the SL600 had smooth power delivery and sleek looks. But in a movie full of wild rides, it felt more like a CEO’s cruiser than a street racer’s dream. Solid performance, sure—but just not rebellious enough.
#21 - 1994 Bentley Azure
Luxury over speed, the Azure was more about style than substance. It packed a massive 6.75L V8 with a turbocharger, but it weighed over 5,700 lbs. You won’t see this tank drifting around corners. More suited for champagne than chases.

#20 - 1999 Aston Martin DB7
Suave and classy, the DB7 brings British refinement to the mix. With 420 hp from its supercharged inline-6, it had performance—but lacked raw edge. Driven by the crew in a brief scene, it didn’t leave a lasting impression. Still, it’s hard to ignore those curves.
#19 - 2000 Toyota Supra Turbo
A JDM legend, the Supra Turbo could easily be higher—but it was overshadowed in the film. With 320 hp and legendary tuning potential, it deserved more action. It had the speed and handling to compete with the best, but didn’t get a fair shot in the spotlight.

#18 - 1995 BMW 850CSi
This V12 grand tourer had smooth looks and plenty of grunt with 375 hp. It wasn’t the fastest or flashiest car in the movie, but its blend of power and comfort made it unique. A low-key luxury beast that car nerds appreciate.
#17 - 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6
A true driver’s car, the 911 Turbo had 355 hp and razor-sharp handling. It made a quick appearance, but left a solid impression. Its iconic shape and rear-engine setup made it a standout for fans of precision and balance.

#16 - 1999 Dodge Viper GTS
Raw American muscle with a venomous bite. The Viper GTS had an 8.0L V10 pushing 450 hp. It wasn’t subtle, and that’s what made it awesome. It didn’t play a huge role in the film, but it didn’t need to—it just looked mean.
#15 - 1995 Ferrari 355 F1
Sleek and screaming with a 375 hp V8, the F355 was a favorite for its agility and F1-style paddle shifters. It had elegance and attitude. A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment in the film, but car fans definitely took notice.

#14 - 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
This special-edition C4 had racing stripes and serious bite. Its LT4 V8 made 330 hp and had a six-speed manual—pure ‘90s American fun. It had a cool factor boosted by rarity (only 1,000 made). Briefly seen, but worth remembering.
#13 - 1994 Jaguar XJ220
Wild, wide, and hard to tame, the XJ220 was Britain’s speed king in the early ‘90s. With 542 hp and a top speed of 212 mph, it was a hypercar before the term caught on. It looked like a spaceship and sounded like thunder.

#12 - 1997 Porsche 959
This rally-bred supercar had 444 hp and advanced AWD. It could hit 60 mph in under four seconds—insane for the ‘80s. A unicorn on the streets, it didn’t get enough screen time but was a dream machine for enthusiasts.
#11 - 1999 Lamborghini Diablo VT
You can’t have a car heist movie without a Lambo. The Diablo VT had AWD and a 5.7L V12 making 492 hp. It looked wild, drove even wilder, and practically roared down the road. Easily one of the most outrageous rides in the film.

#10 - 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser
Why so high on the list? Because Sway (Angelina Jolie) drove it like a boss. Bulletproof reliability, off-road chops, and stunt scenes that surprised everyone. It wasn’t the fastest, but it had personality—and that counts.
#9 - 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
Old-school muscle with raw power. This Z28 had classic American attitude with a 302 V8 and a look that turns heads even now. It played a small role in the movie, but it made muscle car fans cheer. All grit, no fluff.

#8 - 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34
The king of JDM. Though not heavily featured, the R34 had twin-turbo power, AWD grip, and insane tuning potential. A 276 hp gentleman’s agreement engine that easily made more in reality. Fast, tech-heavy, and legendary.

#7 - 1962 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
Grace and speed combined. This rare Ferrari had a V12 engine and timeless styling. It wasn’t about raw numbers—it was about presence. A true collector’s gem with only a handful built. Understated but unforgettable.

#6 - 1971 Plymouth HEMI 'Cuda
Mean looks and monstrous muscle. The ‘Cuda packed a 426 HEMI V8 with over 425 hp. Classic Mopar performance that sounded like thunder and looked like trouble. A blink in the movie, but a fan-favorite.
#5 - 1994 Bugatti EB110 SS
This pre-Veyron beast had a quad-turbo V12 and 603 hp. AWD, carbon-fiber body, and a top speed near 220 mph. It was ahead of its time—and hard to steal. Its presence in the movie was short but sweet.

#4 - 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
That nose cone, that wing—pure NASCAR legend. With a 440 Magnum or optional 426 HEMI, it wasn’t just for show. Kip and Memphis get behind the wheel in a slick garage scene. A wild card with true muscle cred.
#3 - 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello
A front-engine V12 GT with 485 hp, the 550 blended Ferrari finesse with brute force. Kip drives it early in the film, and it sets the tone for the kind of heat the crew is chasing. Stylish, fast, and pure Ferrari.

#2 - 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder
Timeless, rare, and ridiculously valuable. The Spyder wasn’t just fast—it was art on wheels. With a V12 engine and drop-top class, it oozed cool. Its cameo was short, but it’s one of the most desirable collector cars ever.
#1 - 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 "Eleanor"
The queen of the film. Driven by Memphis Raines (Nicolas Cage), Eleanor is a 1967 Shelby GT500 customized with a mean silver-and-black look. Packing 400+ hp, nitrous, and a throaty V8 growl, she stole the spotlight—and every car fan’s heart. The epic chase scene made her an instant legend.
