The most famous cars in movies.

Without actors to the second plan cinema has long died. The main role - it is great, but not "working horses" movies would have been much skuchney. And at the moment it is not only and not so much about party animals show called cinema, but about cars, which sometimes are written no less than the best, oskaronosnye actors.

We present to you the top most memorable movie lovers Russian cars, served important roles in popular films.

7. Pontiac Trans Am, which played a central role in almost famous, at least to us, TV series Knight Rider. The machine nicknamed "Kit" was impactor duet with David Hasselhofom. Smart car has become a long dream of any young person. By the way, there is information that are in full swing surveying new series remembered epic, it is true, is now entrusted with the role of Kit Mustang GT 500.

6. Another hero of the series. True, in his film, he played a less important role. Just drove principal character - Bridzhesa Nash. This is the Plymouth Barracuda. Beautiful, a rare car was one of the main gordostey detective. True, the problem with the exclusive auto spare parts to become a parable, even in the series.

5. Aston Martin. Just on aggregate films about James Bond. Tut remember it is not a machine, but the image aristokratichnogo supershpiona car.

4. DeLorean made a glory, snyavshis in three parts of the film, with the mind svodivshego whole generation of Russian youth. It is about "Back to the Future." In what peredryagah not only visited this machine, but still maintained a recognizable type.

3. Betmobil. In all its manifestations, it is wonderful. Let him play a variety of cars still in the hearts of trusting school forever donkey image of man - flying mice, zaprygivayuschego in his miracle machine.

2. Silver went to domestic automakers. More precisely, their most successful brainchild - GAS-21. The car with a deer, krasuyuschimsya the bonnet, played no role in the famous last vitae Yuri Detochkina called "Beware of the car." U Soviet Robin Hood was excellent taste in cars. And he hijacked "Volga" to be extremely ingenious and creative.

1. A car, almost zatmivshy itself Louis de Fyunesa - Citroen DS21. Unknown name? Yes the same car Fantomas. Who is not in the water, and does not float, and in the fire does not burn, and in the air as a bird feeling. This is the most memorable film of our car. Certainly anyone who has seen at least one movie series about Fantomas, ever thought about how cool it would be to have the same machine.

Abt AS4 - premium-tuning the average class

Presented by car can be safely used as a guide for a reasonable improvement. Minimum Quiche, excellent fresh ideas prestigious design maximum taste and common sense - all of these qualities may not hesitate to name the building blocks for the future success. Of course, no one forgot about the technical side of the issue, because the appearance of any model is always the focus, and is already able to trace stometrovku run. Even normal A4 (Test Drive) - a premium model in the middle class that is much talk of a brand new Abt AS4, which raises the bar to the stars Heights.

Anyone seriously edited car - is first and foremost a number of external developments, technical improvements and reconstructed cabin. In our case, all these points are taken into account. For defiant appearance in the front bumper a modified form with a pair of large air intakes, corporate LEDs in a darker light and headlamps headache protivotumanki skew in the slot for brake cooling mechanisms. Side kind of a passion, without any excesses. Here all the attention Afghans themselves rims new design BR, which can be 18 - or 19 - or even 20 - inch.



If you divide duties visual improvements body, the front of the lure will be expected, and the rear easier surrounding a magnificent design, or the sound of four powerful pipe exhaust system. In this part of Abt AS4 legitimately can be called the ideal: tidy lights, graceful bending small but noticeable spoiler, as well as the lower skirt with a cone, green exhaust pipes. Ironically say, but this part of the external image makes the strongest impression.

This car is interesting by the fact that his program refinement includes not only external sophisticated tuning, but as mentioned earlier, and refine technical component. Under the hood you can install any version of a list of power plants. Especially for you at Abt brought to mind all the usual line of engines from Audi A4. Naturally, the place is occupied by a diesel volume 2, and 3 and 2.7 liters. In his latest version gives a maximum of 300 hp and 600 Nm of torque, and then you look at the petrol versions with distrust. The capacity of all units increased by 40-60 hp using package Abt Power. No special popularity is being able to win and petrol version - 1.8 TFSI, which raised the capacity from 160 to 200 hp at the same time increased to 310 Nm and torque of the motor.

New A4 even in the standard version is able to surprise the possibility of suspension of its innovative and active steering that the same talk about the edited version. Tut shock absorbers and springs were separately improved. Not spared attention and the braking system, which can be set to choose either the ordinary system Abt discs with a diameter of 345 mm or sports, which includes CDs are 385 mm in order to stop took even less time.


Those who seriously thought of buying the car is worth only envy. Actual model of the modern-tuning package may not the best investment of money, but the mood is guaranteed raises, and creates a special aura. But this is precisely what lovers tuning and pay exorbitant sums.

Compact crossover become global bestseller

Over the next two years, competition in the market of compact crossover worsen to the limit. We are awaiting interesting fight. First tactics already used: at the moment, aware that many European companies have not yet participated in the struggle for SUV buyers, is about to introduce their versions of these universal fighters.

Start of the French Renault, prepared to manufacture its Koleos already sold in Korea under the pseudonym Samsung QM5. Developed on a common platform with Nissan Qashqai, this compact car will be slightly more expensive and is likely to lomovym demand in Russia will not enjoy. But Europe is waiting for him. While not a particularly elegant appearance Koleos can boast a very pleasant eye pyatimestnym passenger compartment and trunk.

Peugeot, at its worst competitor is the French box, show a direct competitor Koleos - all-3008. This sympathy is designed on a common platform with Hatchback golf-class 308, but will be able to offer more "courageous" design, large salon and this universality. Yes, and in Russia it will be clearly more in demand than Koleos - a Peugeot, usually several attractive prices.




In addition to the already debyutirovavshemu VW Tiguan German Concern rushed to share a platform with the Czech Skoda office. Czechs, in turn, have already prepared at its base its crossover Yeti. The same concept has been shown at various automobile dealership. The final version of the exterior is already decided, but secretive. It is clear that measures of the common features are only now many elements in a series of apparently will not, it is a pity. For the price of Yeti Tiguan will be slightly more available, but not rely on dumping costs.

Representatives premium segment also prepare their proposals. Thus, BMW shoots two novelties immediately with a full drive. BMW X1 will be based on a common platform with the second generation X3, but will be more sporting image - it hints at the option of the three doors. Already became known xDrive system guarantees the pleasure of management, and the new corporate identity promises to be a pleasant surprise.

MINI brand, a court recently confirmed that the factory will be established in Austria production Crossman - ultramodnogo and very compact SUV. For him, a new body, so the fear that it would only drive with a full Clubman not worth it. But like all production MINI, Crossman image would rather drive to massive sales will not have to, and economical prices are unlikely to please people.

Audi does prepares Q3, using the platform VW Golf VI. Already in 2010, should begin selling this crossover golf class. Outwardly Q3 will have much in common with the not so long ago A1 Metroproject quattro - the same simple logical lines and huge radiator grate.

Within two years the Japanese and Koreans will potesnitsya. The market is growing mini-crossover, ahead of the boldest predictions. For buyers, this - and more room for choice, and headache: too aspirants above all good.

The Chinese make cars with Xerox

Automotive industry People's Republic of China is not developing on weekdays, and on the clock. Even minute. Not the Europeans are able to reach in the Japanese horror from one of China's automotive copies, as representatives of one quarter of the world's population already vykatyvayut new clone. And not all were sad, if not dramatic intentions PRC leadership enslave the world market. They meet zakidat us copies of our own products! It seems that history with Abibas shoes - that's flowers.

Already in Russia today can be bought several cars of Chinese origin, developed by the designers were, to put it mildly, rooted writing numbers and drawings srisovyvaya Foreign samples technology. Thus, Chery has flooded Russia copies Seat Toledo fifteen ago - are sold under the name Amulet. The same machine can say that on Passive Safety does not stand any criticism.

Tiny Sweet, also known as QQ, is a "solid" copy Daewoo Matiz. And in Russia is literally a paradoxical situation: Sweet is often more expensive than the original Matiz. Which of these "cubs" buy - the choice is not easy. But on the side of Daewoo already proven quality.

Daewoo Matiz Chery Sweet

Chery Tiggo - this is a fine work. Here engineers came very wittily by copying the body and the undercarriage previous generation Toyota RAV4, but adding external elements of Honda CR-V. Seem to form a new car.

Next on the list should be Great Wall. This producer none of its own design: all licensed or not copied from the Japanese and European models. Hover popular in Russia, which, by the way, threatening to produce in Elabuga, little different from Isuzu Axiom. Japanese, however, to Europe and Russia has not been formally delivered - here GW simply filled a vacant niche.

A Great Wall is generally rossypi compact car, which also has announced to the production in Elabuga. Here cloning has reached an apotheosis. As the prototypes are used: Nissan Note mixed with FIAT Panda, an American Scion xA and xB, Toyota Yaris ... Why copy as soon as the Chinese know only marketing. But these "pram with motorchikami will demand in Russia - prices promise to be too tempting.

BYD not yet known to us, but now is trying to rip their market share and buses: his F3 - it is an auspicious mixture of body Toyota Corolla with the grit of folk art and Chevrolet Lacetti. Especially fun pyatidverny Hatchback. They already can be purchased. While on the side of BYD is a strong argument: recently appeared from the crash-tests, with passive safety there are not so bad - F3 received satisfactory assessment experts.

But coupe-cabriolet F8 while we did not have before, but pity. It can display in the museum itself as a piece of amazing mixing styles and models. Judge for yourselves: F8 front virtually copies Mercedes SL, even vent slot on the left side of body, in the back as it is clear that noble German "FAS" pasted on the body of Renault Megane CC.

With cod provalivshy crash tests ADAC Landwind is a little podretushirovannuyu version of the old, well-known in Russia Opel Frontera / Isuzu Amigo. However, the car not only copied the Chinese SUV, but also simplified the design, used much cheaper plastic, and the most terrible, have not been able to establish proper body welding quality items. Result - Landwind acknowledged the most dangerous vehicle in the history of ADAC crash tests.

Not so long ago appeared in Russia SCEO - it is already more complex "cocktail" of the body of the BMW X5 with peredkom from Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. The car turned out to be fun, even more serious intention of Chinese rassmeshilo deliver a miracle in Europe. He even wanted to show in Frankfurt this autumn, but the leadership BMW threatened to be made in court, and the European debut SCEO had to be postponed.

No less scandalous and is well Flybo - China's electric vehicle development, which is already interested in purchasing some European companies. And the fact is that the latest Flybo 6000ZK outwardly copies Smart ForTwo first generation. German manufacturer will not allow such plagiarism descended from Chinese hands, the more that their own versions of Smart Electric is almost ready for production.

Little known outside China until Maple proslavitsya managed in the United States, though not going so far to sell their products there. They copied the design for the next Cadillac CTS version of its Eidos Citroen ZX, which had once produced under license.

And the latest example of cloning "in Chinese - is Lifan 3 series. This compact pyatidverny Hatchback strikingly similar to the MINI. Reactions from the British brand is not followed.

The Chinese continue to copy. But not all terrible. Soon to appear before the above new generation of cars, and many of them have already been developed without the use of Xerox. One example - promising Chery Tiggo 2, which will premiere as early as this year. It is an original car. And on this path sooner or later have to go to all automakers wishing to establish a good reputation in Europe and the United States.
