->''"Combining startling looks and shattering performance, the outrageous TVR Tuscan Speed Six was welcomed as one of Europe's most exciting roadsters following its unveiling in 1998. The car features TVR's own interpretation of the classic sports car blueprint of a front engined, rear-wheel drive layout."''
-->'''Description''', ''VideoGame/GranTurismo 2''
The TVR Tropes-- er... TVR Tuscan Speed Six is a British sports car introduced in 1999 and was available to the public a year later. The Tuscan name was a CallBack to the original Tuscan that was originally introduced in 1967.
As per TVR, the Tuscan Speed Six was assembled in their home city in Blackpool, initially fitted with a 4.0 liter TVR Speed Six ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin hence the name]]) inline-six engine, rated at 360 horsepower, and fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission. Though there had been various options offered to customers, with different types of inline-6 engines, bore x stroke, trim levels and a post-facelifted Tuscan S with uprated performance.
The Tuscan Speed Six saw motorsport action in the 2003 UsefulNotes/TwentyFourHoursOfLeMans, as well aa racing variant called the '''TVR [=T400R=]''' seen in the European Le Mans Series ran by Team LNT. It achieves some competition succes while it lasted, until the discontinuation of the car in 2006.

[[caption-width-right:350:The First American Supercar.]]
->''"Defying the notion that a domestically produced vehicle cannot be considered 'exotic', the Saleen S7 is a true American original. Hand-built at the Saleen production facility in Irvine, California, the S7 combines a space age honeycombed aluminium composite chassis, an all-carbon exterior, and a 750 HP twin-turbo engine into one stunning package that can hit speeds of 250 MPH."''
-->--'''Description''', ''VideoGame/MidnightClub: Los Angeles''
While Saleen is known for building special variants of existing models from Ford, founder Steve Saleen started initiating his concept from the drawing board, his first original hand-crafted supercar. The Saleen S7.
A completely original car, and is one of the few known mid-engined American production car. The S7 debuted in mid-2000, known for its all-aluminum bored-and-stroked Ford Windsor V8 engine, producing 550 horsepower and capable of reaching 330 km/h (205 mph) with an acceleration of 0-60 in about 2.8 seconds.
While it's an American supercar of its own, in 2005, [[MidSeasonUpgrade the S7 becomes powerfully twin-turbocharged]]. Now called the '''S7 Twin Turbo''', its engine power is boosted to 750 hp, capable of reaching hypercar levels (and fairly matching with the Bugatti Veyron) with an estimated top speed of 399 km/h (248 mph).
The S7-R is the racing variant, designed to compete in the UsefulNotes/TwentyFourHoursOfLeMans, American Le Mans Series and the FIA GT Championship, with some of the notable contenders like Konrad Motorsport that finished 6th overall (and the class winner) in the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2001.

->''"The Subaru Impreza certainly makes an impression on the eye. It's a good strong car, but it's a little front-end heavy. It's got strong power and torque so this car is more than suitable for the straight, fast rallies."''
-->--'''Travis Pastrana''', ''Colin [=McRae=]: VideoGame/{{DIRT}}''
The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that has been manufactured by Subaru since 1992, introduced as a replacement for the Subaru Leone.
The Impreza soon became known for its rally-homologated WRX variants (standing for "World Rally [[XMakesAnythingCool Xperimental]]"), which added turbochargers to their "boxer" flat-four engines ranging from 1.5- to 2.5-liters (aside from further features such as all-wheel drive and stiffened suspensions), plus the introduction of versions made by Subaru Tecnica International (STI, or prior to 2006, [=STi=]), which added blueprinted performance-tuned engines, transmissions, and suspensions.
Its second generation in particular became known for being subject to two rather radical facelifts, resulting in nicknames to distinguish them from each other based on the shape of their headlights: The pre-facelift model was known as the "Bugeye", the first facelift as the "Blobeye", and the second facelift as the "Hawkeye". It was known as something of TheRival of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (leading to jokes such as "Fear No Evo").
After the third generation, Subaru split the Impreza and the WRX (STI) lines, with the Impreza becoming a hatchback/saloon only (sharing a platform with the Levorg), and the WRX (STI) carrying on as a sport compact resembling Impreza of old onwards.
Imprezas have been one of the quintessential rally cars in the UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship, which helped Creator/ColinMcRae, [[VideoGame/RichardBurnsRally Richard Burns]] and Petter Solberg secure the drivers' championship title in 1995, 2001 and 2003 respectively. While it withdrew at the end of 2008, many privateer rally teams (especially in Group N, rallycross, hillclimb, etc.) continue to use the Impreza for off-road competitions.

* The white 2004 Subaru Impreza "Blobeye" WRX (GDB) in ''Film/BadBlack'' is being driven in the street race is certainly a fine piece of machinery, especially by Wakaliwood standards. Too bad it gets totaled by Swaaz.
-->"Subaru! Subaru! Subaru! Subaru! Vroom Vroom vrooom vrooom yeah!"
* Ninja's black hawkeye Subaru Impreza in ''Film/{{Chappie}}'' is his CoolCar. No wonder Creator/NeillBlomkamp loves [=JDMs=].
* ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'' brought this Impreza to their films, whether being a tuned import or a build for off-road:
** Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Connor in ''Film/FastAndFurious'' were prompted to steal this car from an impounded lot after their cars got wrecked from Fenix Calderon's ambush.
** In ''Film/FastFive'', the WRX was used by the gang to practice avoiding cameras and make hairpin turns.
** ''Film/Furious7'' has Brian procured an off-road built Impreza for his Azerbaijan mission.
** Little Nobody in ''Film/TheFateOfTheFurious'' uses a white WRX [=STi=] as part of the submarine CarChase.
* The beginning of ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'' has Eggsy and his mates stealing (and hooning) a thug's yellow modified hawkeye-Subaru Impreza while performing multiple donuts right in front of him with it. And that lead him to his arrest where it became his EstablishingCharacterMoment.
[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* Resident bad boy Callum Logan of ''Series/CoronationStreet'' owns a custom white 1999 Type R Impreza. Both him and the car would have serious beef with other characters like the Platt family.
* Meet "Evelyn", an orange-bugeyed Impreza of the 2023 series ''Series/{{Twisted Metal|2023}}'', the CoolCar of John Doe (Creator/AnthonyMackie) that is a "[[{{Pun}} car-acter]]" of its own.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* Just like the Lancer Evolution, whether you are Creator/ColinMcRae, [[VideoGame/RichardBurnsRally Richard Burns]] or Petter Solberg, the Impreza has been the go-to rally car in many rally-racing games, mainly the one from the UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship.
** It is one of the 6 cars in the lineup in ''VideoGame/SegaRally 2'', which continues to carry over in its future installments.
** The Impreza is a very common [=4WD=] rally car in ''VideoGame/ColinMcRaeRally'', mainly the one the [=22B=] rally car as seen in both the game's cover and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWjt_N37nNM intro]] driven by [=McRae=] himself in the very first game. The Blobeye [=44s=] WRX Impreza would then serve as the cover car for ''CMR 2005''.
** It is also widely common in ''VideoGame/{{DIRT}}''. In ''DIRT 2'', well, there's so much to say about it:
*** The very first time of the opening has Travis Pastrana give you a powerful Subaru Impreza rallycross for your introduction race, giving you ATasteOfPower at first before you buy your own car.
--->'''Travis Pastrana:''' So here it is, dude. A Subaru Impreza STI. But hey! This isn't a normal Subaru, it was once driven by the rally legend, Creator/ColinMcRae. You got some pretty big shoes to fill.
*** Also, the [[ProductPlacement Monster Energy]] Impreza is the signature CoolCar driven Creator/KenBlock, as seen in the cover art and the LogoJoke of Creator/{{Codemasters}}.
*** Completing the Colin [=McRae=] Challenge and you win the 1995 Subaru Impreza, the car that helped [=McRae=] win the WRC title.
** After beating [[Creator/NolanNorth Bruno Durand]], the FinalBoss of ''DIRT 5'', [[spoiler:you then have to beat the TrueFinalBoss (also the FinalExamBoss since he acts as your guide) [[Creator/TroyBaker AJ]], who is driving a WRX STI RX Supercar.]]
* Subaru only offered Imprezas in ''VideoGame/BattleGear''. (Until the Legacy came in ''3'') Also in ''3'', you have the grey-tuned Impreza... and if you look at the driver, you can clearly see him smoking a cigarette! That's is a ShoutOut to Bunta Fujiwara from ''Initial D''.
* Of course, the Impreza and its future generations would be bound to show up in the ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' series. The 22B [=STi=] in particular has made an appearance in every game in the series, can potentially be the player's starting car in ''Motorsport 6'', has a Horizon Edition version in ''Horizon 3'' that has a drift skill boost and is the only version of the car that has an A-class stock performance and a Forza Edition in ''Motorsport 7'' that has a credits boost.
* Appears in every ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'' game, no matter if it is a vanilla road car or its various rally and race cars.
** The third-gen WRX STI serves as the foundation for the Gr.4, Gr.3 race car and Gr.B rally car, just like its rival, the Lancer Evolution.
* The all-wheel drive car has appeared in various ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'' games.
** The "Blobeye" second-gen version would appear in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground Underground 2]]'' (and ''Underground Rivals''),[[labelnote:*]]after the first ''Underground'' used the (comparatively) vanilla Impreza 2.5 RS,[[/labelnote]] ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted Most Wanted (2005)]]'', and ''Carbon - Own the City''.
** The "Hawkeye" second-gen version would debut in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Carbon]]'', where it would also be the car of your crewmate Yumi in Tier 3, and appear in various games of the saga afterwards, even appearing in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHeat Heat]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnbound Unbound]]'' as the "classic" Impreza of sorts (as opposed to the 2010 facelift third-gen Impreza that also appears in said games).
** The third-gen hatchback Impreza would appear in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHotPursuit Hot Pursuit (2010)]]'' (and thus also in ''Hot Pursuit Remastered'') and ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedTheRun The Run]]''
** A 2010 facelift of the third-gen hatchback Impreza has been available in all games since ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed2015''. In addition, in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]'' it is the car of choice of Udo Roth, and is later available for the player to use as an abandoned car.
* ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer'':
** The Impreza sees some widespread use through-out the series, both on various highways and mountain passes. Most famous is the all-Impreza team Another Star, [[TheRival archrivals]] to the all-Lan Evo team Top Level.
** Jintei's car of choice for touge racing was a white Impreza, as seen in the first ''Drift'' game. [[spoiler:He permanently switches out his signature [=R34=] for his upgraded Impreza starting in ''Touge Legends'', and he acquires another one upon his return to highway racing in ''Import Tuner Challenge'']]
** Tōru Zōshigaya, PlayerCharacter of ''Chain Reaction'', reappears as a DiskOneFinalBoss in Aso driving a jet-black GDB.
** No stranger to driving all-wheel drive cars with absurd Gundam-inspired body kits, Crimson Devil went all out for ''Import Tuner Challenge'', switching his usual [=R34=] out for a ridiculous looking Impreza with fiberglass rockets as part of its body. Mind you, it is still an incredibly fast car.

The Model S had underwent various revisions, such as the [[AutomatedAutomobiles Autopilot driving]] and enhanced battery range.
The Model S wasn't just the pioneering electric car in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, but also saw huge sales outside the country such as UsefulNotes/{{Norway}} and UsefulNotes/{{Denmark}}. While the car was praised for its performance and range, it has recieved criticism due to high-costs, brake problems and safety issues, mainly the [[EveryCarIsAPinto car catching fire]].

->''"Combining startling looks and shattering performance, the outrageous TVR Tuscan Speed Six was welcomed as one of Europe's most exciting roadsters following its unveiling in 1998. The car features TVR's own interpretation of the classic sports car blueprint of a front engined, rear-wheel drive layout."''
-->'''Description''', ''VideoGame/GranTurismo 2''
The TVR Tropes-- er... TVR Tuscan Speed Six is a British sports car introduced in 1999 and was available to the public a year later. The Tuscan name was a CallBack to the original Tuscan that was originally introduced in 1967.
As per TVR, the Tuscan Speed Six was assembled in their home city in Blackpool, initially fitted with a 4.0 liter TVR Speed Six ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin hence the name]]) inline-six engine, rated at 360 horsepower, and fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission. Though there had been various options offered to customers, with different types of inline-6 engines, bore x stroke, trim levels and a post-facelifted Tuscan S with uprated performance.
The Tuscan Speed Six saw motorsport action in the 2003 UsefulNotes/TwentyFourHoursOfLeMans, as well aa racing variant called the '''TVR [=T400R=]''' seen in the European Le Mans Series ran by Team LNT. It achieves some competition succes while it lasted, until the discontinuation of the car in 2006.

* It made its appearance in the first four ''VideoGame/ForzaMotorsport'' games. The car never returned again (due to the Sagaris being TVR's golden child) until it made its [[TheBusCameBack re-appearance]] in ''Horizon 4'' as a [[StealthPun Series 6]] seasonal reward.

[[caption-width-right:1000:The people's car.]]
->''"Blue punch buggy!"''
-->--'''Stitch''', ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch''
Originally named the Volkswagen Type 1, the Beetle or "Bug" is a cute little machine of a car loved by the entire world over, making it an icon of Volkswagen.
The concept of the need for a ''people's car'' was made by UsefulNotes/NaziGermany leader, UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, who wanted a cheap, simple and mass produced car for his new road network in the country. Hungarian engineer Béla Barényi was credited in the original design of the Beetle in 1925, and commissioned Ferdinand Porsche and his team to finalize it until 1938.
Due to UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, civilian-made Beetles were produced in significant numbers, internally designated as the Type 1. The later models offered in numerous engine displaccements such as the 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 and 1303.
The original Beetle's engine produces 25 hp, with top speeds of 100 km/h (62 mph) which would be practical for the German roads. As speed increased after the war, its engine output was boosted up to 40 hp. The iconic and trendy Beetle rose to spawning multiple Volkswagen variants such as the Type 2 Bus and the Karmann Khia, as well as inspiring other makers to build their own RR layout economy car such as the Fiat 500, the Rencult [=4CV=] and the Subaru 360.
The original Beetle would end it production in 2003, making it one of the LongRunners in terms of vehicle production. With that, the Beetle is considered to be one of the best-selling automobiles in history, with over 20 million units produced throughout its 66-year lifespan.

* TheStinger of ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'' has a this tiny Volkswagen [[CameraAbuse fly into the camera lens, leaving a smudge]], keep in mind... [[StealthPun Beetles are bugs]]. The bug would later become an AscendedExtra in one of the ''Tales from Radiator Springs'' shorts.
** Then you have Cruz Besouro in ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'', Carla Veloso's crew chief whose model is after a green 1960 Beetle.
* In the first two chronological ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' films, Nani Pelekai owns a blue Beetle [[note]]which wasn't explicitly identified as a Beetle in the film but was confirmed to be one by a Toys/FunkoPop figure years later in TheNewTwenties[[/note]] that has seen better days, though it's replaced by a green Jeep and a red modified dune buggy in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' and its films. In [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch the first film]], the super-strong Stitch uses it as [[CarFu an improvised weapon]] in his fight against Jumba, destroying a good chunk of the Pelekai house just to whack his own creator with it. In ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch'', Nani drives herself, Lilo, Jumba, Pleakley, and David in the Beetle, speeding along a dirt mountain road [[spoiler:to try to reach Stitch before he leaves Earth in Jumba's ship in self-exile without being charged in Jumba's fusion chamber]], though a dead end cuts her short of reaching him. [[spoiler:In a ChekhovsGun moment, she also hid Lilo and Stitch's hovercraft in the Beetle's front compartment, allowing Lilo to fly it to reach Stitch after he crash-lands the ship.]]

* The most iconic Beetle of them all--and Creator/{{Disney}}'s most iconic car character before the ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'' franchise came along--would have to be Herbie, Film/{{the Love Bug}}, a pearl white {{sentient|Vehicle}} 1963 VW Beetle with red, white, and blue racing stripes and the racing number 53 plastered on his front lid, doors, and engine lid. He is able to drive himself and is an improbably competitive race car who is able to ''beat'' much faster vehicles than he is. He's been in five feature films, a short-lived TV series, a TV film, and a few video games. He can also be found at a dedicated section of Disney's All-Star Movies Resort in Ride/WaltDisneyWorld.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* An entire game dedicated to the Volkswagen New Beetle called ''VideoGame/BeetleAdventureRacing'' was released in 1999 for the Platform/Nintendo64 and received surprisingly high critical acclaim for its time, which is surprising considering it was basically an advergame for the 1998-debuted car.
* The Beetle has appeared frequently throughout the ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' series, usually as a low-class car. In ''Horizon 5'', there is a story revolving around repairing one. Completing it rewards you with a Forza Edition Beetle, which is a normal Beetle that had enough parts installed into it to turn it a high-class car.
* The Beetle had a quite curious history in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'': It which was a traffic car in ''II'', and barring its appearance in the Nintendo DS/Wii-exclusive ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedNitro Nitro]]'', it wouldn't become a player-usable vehicle until ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]'' onwards, where it's able to [[LethalJokeCharacter be turned into an exceptionally fast vehicle after being modded]].
* The second Expert car in ''VideoGame/SanFranciscoRush'' is a VW Beetle with alternating horizontal stripes that end in rings on its trunk.

Hailing from the Middle Eastern country of UsefulNotes/{{Lebanon}}, the Emirati sports car company W Motors began developing their first ever luxurious Middle Eastern hypercar only extremely made available to the very selected few. W Motors has launched its first ever SuperPrototype on January 2013; the Lykan [=HyperSport=].
Priced at over US$3.4 million, it was considered to be the third most expensive production car at the time of production. What's contributing to its value is its headlights, [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry embedded with jewels]] containing titanium LED blades with 440 platinum-15 carat diamonds. It's powered by a twin turbocharged Porsche 3.7 L flat-6 engine developed by Ruf Automobile, capable of producing 740 horsepower, and it either comes with a 6-speed sequential manual or a 7-speed dual clutch. The result: a claimed top speed of 395 km/h (245 mph).
Production was extremely limited with only seven units produced, one of which was purchased by the Abu Dhabi police, intended for patrol and showcasing purposes.

While Saleen is known for building special variants of existing models from Ford, founder Steve Saleen started initiating his concept from the drawing board, his first original hand-crafted supercar. The Saleen S7.
A completely original car, and is one of the few known mid-engined American production car. The S7 debuted in mid-2000, known for its all-aluminum bored-and-stroked Ford Windsor V8 engine, producing 550 horsepower and capable of reaching 330 km/h (205 mph) with an acceleration of 0-60 in about 2.8 seconds.
While it's an American supercar of its own, in 2005, [[MidSeasonUpgrade the S7 becomes powerfully twin-turbocharged]]. Now called the '''S7 Twin Turbo''', its engine power is boosted to 750 hp, capable of reaching hypercar levels (and fairly matching with the Bugatti Veyron) with an estimated top speed of 399 km/h (248 mph).
The S7-R is the racing variant, designed to compete in the UsefulNotes/TwentyFourHoursOfLeMans, American Le Mans Series and the FIA GT Championship, with some of the notable contenders like Konrad Motorsport that finished 6th overall (and the class winner) in the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2001.

* The S7 in ''VideoGame/MidnightClub'' is perhaps to be the [[InfinityPlusOneSword best-of-the-best car]] in the each of the games usually as the last unlockable car. It started of in ''II'' as the [[{{Fauxrrari}} Veloci]], driven by the FinalBoss, Savo. It became fully licensed in ''3'' as a high-end A-Class exotic, to the point that your rivals will frequently use this in the U.S. Championship Series. By the time it hits ''Los Angeles'' it, considered to be the fastest in the game when fully upgraded.
* The S7 here is an ultimate high-speed missile in ''VideoGame/ProjectGothamRacing''. In ''3'', it offers both in naturally-aspirated and twin-turbocharged variants.
* The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is your [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity +1 Car]] in ''VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited'', and is considered to be one of the top-flight Group A hypercars to battle with the [=McLarens=] and the Koenigseggs.

"[[FanNickname The Ladybug]]", as they call it.
The 360 is Subaru's rear-engined two door kei car for TheFifties to TheSeventies, as it's so-called because of its [[MeaningfulName [=360cc=] engine]].
An inexpensive cute machine intended to help motorize the post-UsefulNotes/WorldWarII population, as well as being intended to comply with Japan's kei car regulations. It produces 16 hp, weighs under 1,000 pounds and notable for utilizing suicide doors, the Subaru 360 would be one of the firsts in the kei car category.
Several variants were produced throughout its 12-year run, such as the station wagon 360 Custom, a convertible variant and a slightly upgraded version called the Young S. And even more powerful version the Young SS boasts 35 hp and 100 bhp per litre.
...and just because it has under 20 hp and it's tiny doesn't always mean it's TheAllegedCar.

->''"The Subaru Impreza certainly makes an impression on the eye. It's a good strong car, but it's a little front-end heavy. It's got strong power and torque so this car is more than suitable for the straight, fast rallies."''
-->--'''Travis Pastrana''', ''Colin [=McRae=]: VideoGame/{{DIRT}}''
The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that has been manufactured by Subaru since 1992, introduced as a replacement for the Subaru Leone.
The Impreza soon became known for its rally-homologated WRX variants (standing for "World Rally [[XMakesAnythingCool Xperimental]]"), which added turbochargers to their "boxer" flat-four engines ranging from 1.5- to 2.5-liters (aside from further features such as all-wheel drive and stiffened suspensions), plus the introduction of versions made by Subaru Tecnica International (STI, or prior to 2006, [=STi=]), which added blueprinted performance-tuned engines, transmissions, and suspensions.
Its second generation in particular became known for being subject to two rather radical facelifts, resulting in nicknames to distinguish them from each other based on the shape of their headlights: The pre-facelift model was known as the "Bugeye", the first facelift as the "Blobeye", and the second facelift as the "Hawkeye". It was known as something of TheRival of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (leading to jokes such as "Fear No Evo").
After the third generation, Subaru split the Impreza and the WRX (STI) lines, with the Impreza becoming a hatchback/saloon only (sharing a platform with the Levorg), and the WRX (STI) carrying on as a sport compact resembling Impreza of old onwards.
Imprezas have been one of the quintessential rally cars in the UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship, which helped Creator/ColinMcRae, [[VideoGame/RichardBurnsRally Richard Burns]] and Petter Solberg secure the drivers' championship title in 1995, 2001 and 2003 respectively. While it withdrew at the end of 2008, many privateer rally teams (especially in Group N, rallycross, hillclimb, etc.) continue to use the Impreza for off-road competitions.

* The all-wheel drive car has appeared in various ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'' games.
** The "Blobeye" second-gen version would appear in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground Underground 2]]'' (and ''Underground Rivals''),[[labelnote:*]]after the first ''Underground'' used the (comparatively) vanilla Impreza 2.5 RS,[[/labelnote]] ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted Most Wanted (2005)]]'', and ''Carbon - Own the City''.

->''"Blue punch buggy!"''
-->--'''Stitch''', ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch''
Originally named the Volkswagen Type 1, the Beetle or "Bug" is a cute little machine of a car loved by the entire world over, making it an icon of Volkswagen.
The concept of the need for a ''people's car'' was made by UsefulNotes/NaziGermany leader, UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, who wanted a cheap, simple and mass produced car for his new road network in the country. Hungarian engineer Béla Barényi was credited in the original design of the Beetle in 1925, and commissioned Ferdinand Porsche and his team to finalize it until 1938.
Due to UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, civilian-made Beetles were produced in significant numbers, internally designated as the Type 1. The later models offered in numerous engine displaccements such as the 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 and 1303.
The original Beetle's engine produces 25 hp, with top speeds of 100 km/h (62 mph) which would be practical for the German roads. As speed increased after the war, its engine output was boosted up to 40 hp. The iconic and trendy Beetle rose to spawning multiple Volkswagen variants such as the Type 2 Bus and the Karmann Khia, as well as inspiring other makers to build their own RR layout economy car such as the Fiat 500, the Rencult [=4CV=] and the Subaru 360.
The original Beetle would end it production in 2003, making it one of the LongRunners in terms of vehicle production. With that, the Beetle is considered to be one of the best-selling automobiles in history, with over 20 million units produced throughout its 66-year lifespan.

He is able to drive himself and is an improbably competitive race car who is able to ''beat'' much faster vehicles than he is. He's been in five feature films, a short-lived TV series, a TV film, and a few video games. He can also be found at a dedicated section of Disney's All-Star Movies Resort in Ride/WaltDisneyWorld.

* An entire game dedicated to the Volkswagen New Beetle called ''VideoGame/BeetleAdventureRacing'' was released in 1999 for the Platform/Nintendo64 and received surprisingly high critical acclaim for its time, which is surprising considering it was basically an advergame for the 1998-debuted car.
* The Beetle has appeared frequently throughout the ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' series, usually as a low-class car. In ''Horizon 5'', there is a story revolving around repairing one. Completing it rewards you with a Forza Edition Beetle, which is a normal Beetle that had enough parts installed into it to turn it a high-class car.
* The Beetle had a quite curious history in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'': It which was a traffic car in ''II'', and barring its appearance in the Nintendo DS/Wii-exclusive ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedNitro Nitro]]'', it wouldn't become a player-usable vehicle until ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]'' onwards, where it's able to [[LethalJokeCharacter be turned into an exceptionally fast vehicle after being modded]].
* The second Expert car in ''VideoGame/SanFranciscoRush'' is a VW Beetle with alternating horizontal stripes that end in rings on its trunk.

->'''Ramsey:'''What makes it so super?\\
'''Safar:''' 242 miles per hour, top speed. And it's bulletproof.
-->--''Film/Furious7''
Hailing from the Middle Eastern country of UsefulNotes/{{Lebanon}}, the Emirati sports car company W Motors began developing their first ever luxurious Middle Eastern hypercar only extremely made available to the very selected few. W Motors has launched its first ever SuperPrototype on January 2013; the Lykan [=HyperSport=].
Priced at over US$3.4 million, it was considered to be the third most expensive production car at the time of production. What's contributing to its value is its headlights, [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry embedded with jewels]] containing titanium LED blades with 440 platinum-15 carat diamonds. It's powered by a twin turbocharged Porsche 3.7 L flat-6 engine developed by Ruf Automobile, capable of producing 740 horsepower, and it either comes with a 6-speed sequential manual or a 7-speed dual clutch. The result: a claimed top speed of 395 km/h (245 mph).
Production was extremely limited with only seven units produced, one of which was purchased by the Abu Dhabi police, intended for patrol and showcasing purposes.

* This ultra-rare CoolCar made its official film debut in ''Film/Furious7''. The Lykan [=HyperSport=] is [[ImpliedTrope implied]] that it's belonged to the Jordanian prince, kept in a vault in his penthouse in Abu Dhabi. And this is where Brian and Dom carjacked it in order to find the hidden equipment, as both used the car to escape from Deckard Shaw's ambush, [[LookBothWays plowing through the party]], and '''jumped between two freakin' buildings'''! And watch ThePreciousPreciousCar falling down the Etihad Towers, destroying it in the process.
** Luckily it's a replica car in RealLife, not counting the tally of being reduced to ''six'' left in existence.
[[AC:Video Games]]
