Favourite car in a non-racing game?

[John Dunbar]

(or any vehicle i suppose)

I don't like cars and I wish I didn't need one, but there is one car that I have always loved and am now making this stealth appreciation thread for it: the blue Chevrolet Corvette C3 from Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel.

Just look at this beauty:

(I know nothing about cars, so I Googled the model. It's some Corvette anyway)

I used to play this game when I was a kid before time took my dreams away, and I still remember the car fondly. It was an amazing feeling to cruise away from the Department in this bad boy after a hard day of police brutality work. I don't like cars or want one, but if I could choose one I think this is the only one I would be happy with. Plus the tires look like eyes.

Bonus picture with Sonny Bonds at the wheel:

Honourable mention: Bone Wagon from Grim Fandango:

What about you? I'm guessing the Warthog from Halo is a popular one, but not sophisticated enough for my discerning palate.

The Hornet from Fighters Megamix

I'm playing Batman: Arkham Knight right now, and the Batmobile is a joy to cruise around in. It's what I consider to be an ideal blend of weighty and arcade feel. Drifting and boosting are enjoyable, it tears through the environment instead of getting stuck on things, you can launch out of it at high velocity, and more. The other Batmobiles used in the challenge maps are fun too (not the original Arkham Batmobile though, that thing handles like shit).

I understand people's complaints that they found it too prevalent in the gameplay, but at least it feels good to control.

Warthog from Halo. Had some fun with it and grenades.

I've come to the conclusion that if you don't like the Warthog, you're just untalented.

 

[Prof Bathtub]

Cheat cars only

 

[BarryFishFinger]

All the cars from Mad Max.

I've spent hours with many randoms back in the day trying to get this thing. Every little rumour or tip on how to get that thing.

Why did we want it so badly too? It was just a Warthog in yellow without a gun...and yet we needed it. It wasn't even POSSIBLE to get the thing without modding it in or something. You'll never understand what It was like as a kid in a group of people trying for hours just to get something that isn't real.

Fucking worth it.

The M12 Force Application Vehicle AKA The P̶u̶m̶a̶ Warthog, from Halo.

Declasse Sabre from GTA IV

 

[Jarrod38]

The Cheetah in the GTA series.

 

[Seahawk64]

Mongoose in Halo 3.

 

[Baron Von Beans]

The Comet from the GTA series has always been my favorite car in every game. Its essentially a Porsche 911 Turbo/GT3, depending on the wing attached and/or colors used.

In GTAOnline I have 5 in one g5arage, all painted with official GT3 RSR color schemes.

This is what I entered the thread for.

 

[chrominance]

I have a lot of favourites from this game, so I'll just post the most famous of them: Jade (and later Groove) Champion's Piranha.

Interstate '76, baby. Muscle cars with GUNS STRAPPED TO THEM. What's not to love?

EDIT: Runner-up goes not to a car, but to a tricycle:

It had everything I want from open world vehicles. Maneuverability I'm tight spaces, can flip upright, can be summoned, can be dropped into from above, etc.

-Every car in every Sega game (Daytona, Outrun, Crazy Taxi, Sega Rally etc)
-Cars from GTA Series because they are really cool looking
-Mad Max because it givees you the ability to build your own dream mad max car
-The machines from Wipeout
-The cars in Ridge Racer 3D

Sorry but I can't choose just one. But I guess since we are in a non racing thread I will flip a coin between Mad Max and GTA so the result is Mad Max Magnum Opus.

 

[HalStep]

GTA IV's Feltzer,i used to just enjoy cruising around in it.the car was fast but not too fast and easy to control in slides around corners.

 

[Anabolex]

The game isn´t particular good and when I played FF15 you couldn´t even drive it yourself but damn it looks cool.

 

[Soj]

The Batmobile from Arkham Knight. It's just a shame a lot of the gameplay Rocksteady designed around it was a chore.

 

[The Archon]

Warthog from Halo CE. Had some fun with it and grenades.

Put multiple grenades on it a rocket and enjoy.

That being said driving a warthog in big team battle was super fun

Spoiler

Why is it called warthog if it looks like a puma?

 

[neon/drifter]

The Homer from The Simpsons Hit n' Run.

 

[Deleted member 4869]

The Regalia is one of many things that makes Final Fantasy XV great. Love that car.

 

[Tagyhag]

Probably the Infernus from Vice City. Warthog from CE is a close 2nd though.

 

[Falchion]

I'll third the Batmobile from Arkham Knight. That thing was so badass.

 

[blackmass]

GTA V - Grotti Carbonizzare

Great car, great handling

 

[SpinierBlakeD]

Either the Mako from Mass Effect or the car that transforms into a boar from Spy Hunter.

Man this game really needs to be brought back from the dead. The sequel didn't capture the groove of the first game, I'd love to see a modernised remake.

The Gears of War car in Rocket League.

I played through the game without even the Day 1 patch installed and I could drive it myself.

All you need to do is select manual instead of auto in the menu.

 

[Deleted member 4247]

Batmobile in AK.

Fight me.

 

[Breqesk]

I really liked the Vespid HMI in Watch Dogs 2. Normally not a huge muscle car fan, but I really dug the way it looked, and it actually handled super well--just the right mix of slidey and controllable.
