Over the past decade or so, going to the cinema is more than \njust about watching a film; it\u2019s an experience. With cinema companies \nnow kitting out their viewing rooms with a range of high quality screens\n and the best surround sound available; watching a newly released movie \noffers an experience like never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years film fans have been able to enjoy movies produced by \nsome of the world\u2019s best production companies. From Paramount to \nDreamWorks and Universal to Fox Star, they have provided us with films \nthat have brought history to life, made us cry with laughter and left us\n sat on the edges of our seats in anticipation. There\u2019s no doubt about \nit that films have had a major impact on our lives and left us wanting \nmore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film industry has taken massive strides over the past decade or \nso, with Disney leading the way in re-creating older films which are \nloved by all generations. Although we now have the ability to watch \nfilms on streaming platforms such as Netflix and production companies \nusing the best technology available to enhance their films; many movie \nfans prefer the classics from yester years. Many of the most famous \nfilms created are known for their lead characters. Whether it\u2019s Batman, \nJames Bond or Starksy &amp; Hutch, there are an endless number of famous\n characters who we adore and admire. The majority of film characters \nleave an imprint on our lives due to their superpowers, ability to \ntackle villains and because of their humorous nature, but quite often we\n remember them for another reason; the vehicle they drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a large number of film characters who are associated to a \nfamous vehicle and in some instances; the vehicle is more popular than \nthe character. The industry has provided us with some of the world\u2019s \nmost famous movie cars. From James Bond\u2019s classic Aston Martin to the \never popular DeLorean used in Back to the Future; they\u2019re all vehicles \nwe know so well. Some of the world\u2019s most expensive cars have featured \nin a number of the most loved films and for some of us, it may have \ncrossed our minds what price tag the vehicles carry. There is another \nquestion which many film fans may have on their minds; this being who \nwould come out on top if there was a great movie race? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help bring this question to life, we have taken ten of the most \nfamous vehicles within film and created the ultimate race, based on \ntheir top speeds. It\u2019s a race which I\u2019m sure many of us are eager to \nwatch, but the big question is; who wins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d love to hear your predictions on who will make the podium and \nwho will be crowned winner of this spectacular race. Share your thoughts\n on social using #MovieCarRace and whether or not you believe the winner\n was deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y8dkxVzxPO8?enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:%2F%2Fleasecar.uk\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" id=\"widget2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since the first motion-picture film was released back in 1888, the film industry has released a never ending amount of blockbuster movies.
