* In ''ComicBook/{{Silverblade}}'' #6, Miss Hothgard is chauffeuring Vermillion around the studio on an electric scooter. Sick of his hectoring, and now possessed by the Executioner, she uses the Executioner's powers to drive up the wall of the sound stage. Near the top she jumps off, leaving Vermillion and the scooter to plunge to the floor.

* The later ''VideoGame/WipEout'' games (from ''Pure'' onwards) allow the hoverer racing vehicles to do this with the aid of special magnetic track sections. Pervious games also included the occasional loop or 90-degree banked turn, but these relied on physics to sling the craft around them - stopping would make the craft drift "sideways" toward ground level.

* A common bit of trivia is Formula 1 vehicles are theoretically capable of this, as they generate a large amount of downforce to grip the road by design. About about 60MPH, they'd stick to any surface no matter what gravity says. Needless to say no racing team or sponsor has ever actually volunteered their multimillion dollar machine to test this live.

* ''VideoGame/{{Carmageddon}} and its sequels have featured a variety of physics-modifying power-ups that allow driving at all sorts of bizarre angles, including up sheer walls and even upside down. Certain types of cars can even do so without any power-ups, whether due to abnormally high downforce, extreme acceleration, supernatural tire grip or some other unusual physical property. This is made even more common by the tendency of cars to get involved in powerful collisions and get punted upwards onto walls and ceilings.
