Senna (2010)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Ayrton Senna was a three-time Formula 1 world champion with 65 pole position victories in his ten-year racing career. But his image as a champion was limited to the limelight. In real life, Senna was paranoid about safety standards in F1 and traumatized by the loss of fellow racers to accidents. Until his death in 1994, his cries for a safer work environment went unheeded. Senna is the tale of Ayrton’s struggle, his rivalry and friendship with Alain Prost, and the engineering catastrophe which caused his death. Rent an Exotic Car

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A mustachioed salesman’s business trip becomes a nightmare when he is tormented by a freight truck which tries to kill him. Duel is a battle of wits set in the dry Western landscape. Steven Spielberg’s directorial debut is 70’s pulp fiction incarnate, but it never fails to pull you in.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]More famously known as Mad Max 2,The Road Warrior is a brilliantly executed work of dystopian fiction. The world is a post-apocalyptic wasteland where petrol and water are worth fighting over. This is Mad Max as we know it today — the story of an unscrupulous lone agent who survives a harsh desert and its wild inhabitants. The Pursuit Special V8 Falcon which Max was bribed with in the first movie, might just be single-handedly responsible for making the Mad Max cars famous. Rent a Classic Car

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Drive is dark and captivating, often touted as one of the best movies to come out in 2011. It is a throwback to the noir films of the 1950s and ‘60s.

His co-conspirators are a myriad of colourful people who are all seemingly inept to pull off the heist.

The Transporter (2002)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Jason Statham plays the protagonist, a brutally punctual driver who will transport anything, no questions asked. That is, until he finally breaks one of his own rules and opens his trunk. The Transporter relies on action scenes more than a plot to impress you. Some of the stunts are highly imaginative and outlandish. But once you take off the Men In Black sunglasses and get over the Hollywood-ness of the action, Corey Yuen’s direction and Statham’s self-executed stunts and gravelly British accent stand out. In the movie, Statham’s E38 BMW 7 Series has a manual transmission. It’s a one-off, since the V12-powered 750i was sold exclusively with an automatic. Rent a Luxury Car

A man named Bud drives up to him on the street and offers him $25 to take his car out of the neighborhood and a repossession man’s job. Reluctant at first, he finally accepts out of desperation for money. He meets a young, beautiful woman named Leila, who tells him about the outlandish but deadly contents of a Chevy Malibu trunk. Otto soon learns that his repossession agency has been offered a $20,000 bounty notice for that very car. Most assume that the car is drug-related but they’re in for a shocking reveal.

Tucker: The Man And His Dream (1988)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Detroit engineer Preston Tucker has always wanted to build cars. As World War II draws to a close, Tucker’s dream finally begins to seem possible—he hires a young designer and the financial support of a New York financier to help him build the ‘car of the future’. The ‘Tucker Torpedo’ was to feature never-seen-before safety designs, such as disc brakes, seat belts, a pop-out windshield and swivelling headlights which turned with the car. This extraordinary film caused the price of the Tucker Sedans to spike and won Tucker and his automobiles new appreciation, upon its release in 1988. Rent a Classic Car

Taxi (2015)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This multiple award-winning Iranian docu-fiction is about a taxi driver in Tehran, whose passengers tell him stories about their lives.

From a conservative man who supports capital punishment and a woman who supports its abolition, to a pirated video vendor who once lent him foreign films which were not available in the country and two superstitious old women who want to release their goldfishes into a holy spring, this eclectic group of people helps to paint a vivid portrait of modern-day Iran.
