A vehicle which is capable of much more than you would expect from a standard vehicle of that same make and model. May or may not actually be alive to some degree or another (sentient [=AIs=] don't count, except when they're not supposed to be sentient in the first place). AWizardDidIt or ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve is pretty much inherently part of the description as to ''why'' it has these abilities; mundane causes like user customization / upgrades don't count.

Typically has quite a bit of overlap with CoolCar / CoolShip, etc.

** First is the Weasley family car, which is an enchanted Ford Anglia [[FlyingCar which can fly]] and is sentient.

** The Hogwarts Express, while being probably the most famous vehicle in the series and exclusively used by the wizarding world, is [[AvertedTrope an aversion]] as it shows no signs of magical properties at any point (except perhaps in the nature of the platform it leaves from and its ultimate destination). Although the fact it manages to leave on time every September with no delays for leaves on the line or the late departure of an earlier train or any other excuse painfully familiar to users of UsefulNotes/NationalRail might count.

* The '57 Chevy from Creator/JohnDeChancie's ''Literature/{{Starrigger}}'' series. While it's stated that its abilities are the product of science, they are far beyond even the high-tech background of the setting, including inertial damping, artificial gravity, and some form of invisible streamlining.

* The King of Red Lions from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''. He's later revealed to be a human who has magically enchanted himself to take on boat form.
** Actually it's never quite clear if the King is a human or ghost, but the boat appears to exist independently of him unless he chooses to act through it.

* Completely, utterly, wholeheartedly, and deliberately averted by [[WebVideo/DesertBusForHope Desert Bus]].
