9 Most Incredible Cartoon Cars of All Time

Most of us are big fans of cartoons and comics. So we at carazoo.com have decided to have some fun and put together this list of the 9 Most Incredible Cartoon Cars of all Time. The reason we use the term “incredible” here is that some of the items on this list wouldn't be classified as “great” or “amazing” - some of them are incredible for other reasons.

With a brief introduction, let's raise a toast to the great memories of cartoon past:

Batmobile

Legendary Batman's Batmobile went through more design changes and the most impressive of all the animated Batmobiles was the winged, wheeled avenger seen in the Super Friends cartoon. Like all the Batmobile models before it, the Super Friends Batmobile came heavily equipped with several on-board computers and military-grade weapons artillery.

Mystery Machine

The Mystery Machine of Scooby-Doo cartoon is a mid-size van which is used by the Scooby-Doo gang to solve mysteries. The van does not have any special features but it does have a creative and fun filled exterior paint. The front of the van resembles Volkswagen Bus, whereas the rear gets a look of a Chevrolet van. Inside the cabin there two racks on the roof that helps in to carry oversized items, a detachable couch-like rear seat that can fit three people.

Benny the Cab

Benny the Cab is an anthropomorphized taxicab who first appeared in the animated feature “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. Benny becomes Roger, Jessica and Eddie Valiant's mode of transportation and Benny is capable of some amazing, but whacky antics.

Speed Racer

Although the company that oversaw the production of Speed Racer made a valiant effort to include a viable storyline in every episode, the plot was almost always the same. Inevitably, some evil force would attempt to squelch Speed Racer's dream of, well, racing, and in order to thwart the ne'er do wells, Speed Racer would be forced to engage in an action-packed, high-intensity car race.

Gadgetmobile

Inspector Gadget has somehow managed to score the coolest cruiser on the force: the Gadgetmobile. The Gadgetmobile was essentially the run of the mill, totally awesome crime-fighting vehicle and as such, included the quintessential bad-guy-banishing features like a smoke screen, ejector seat, glue rockets (which were exactly what they sound like), and the Gadget Claw. All of the Gadgetmobile's accessories could be immediately readied for use with a simple cry

Thundercat-mobile

Ironically enough, Lion-O's Thundercat-mobile made this list not because it was incredibly impressive, but rather because it wasn't. The Thundercats spawned its own line of action figures. Even though the Thundercats' massive metal tank looked like it was prepared to wage serious war, it never really did much more than drive the Thundercats from point A to point B. This why the Thundercat-mobile is worth remembering!

G.I. Joe's Jeep

G.I. Joe was a superhero without the benefit of super powers. Moreover, G.I. Joe is/was a realistic hero and the fact that he was limited by the same laws of physics as his fans were made him wildly popular. In keeping with the humanistic theme, G.I. Joe's official Jeep also spawned a legion of followers for the simple fact that all the stunts it performed on screen, it was more than capable of performing in reality as well.

Bumblebee

This one does not need any explaining. The Bumblebee from the Transformer series is just incredible. Bumblebee is established as the smallest of the first year Autobots, but his actual size varies greatly in the various media, ranging from the same size as other Autobot cars to barely taller than a human. His only official height was in an early issue of the Marvel comics where it is stated he is 15 feet tall.

Bumblebee's primary function in the original Transformers animated series and comics was to serve as the “young” character with whom the youthful viewing audience could identify, and he would befriend the Autobots' primary human ally - the young son of the Witwicky family - to this end, a concept that persists into the 2007 live-action film.

Cars from Wacky Races

Inspired by the 1965 film The Great Race, the Wacky Races cartoon was essentially an animated, G-rated version of The Gumball Rally. It was a short-lived series with only 17 episodes produced with each episode featuring two separate races and the campy hi-jinks of the 23 different racers. There were 11 race cars total, and each racing team was competing against each other in pursuit of the ultimate prize, the title of “World's Wackiest Racer”. Shying away from the typical cartoon formula, what made Wacky Races so notable was the fact that the “evil” racers were often the stars of the show, and even inspired their own spin-offs later on.
