Peugot 406 from Taxi (1998)

I give you the Peugeot 406 3.0 V6 from Taxi 1, Taxi 2, Taxi 3, and Ronin. Luc Besson's Taxi, not that American remake trash. The damn thing transforms. Before anyone starts complaining that Taxi was not made by Hollywood, neither was the original Italian Job, but it is on the list. I thought you guys were .co.uk? So much for British pride.

MAD MAX's car! WTF!!

Maxim. You got the Mad Max car Wrong!
MAD MAX's car was actually the Ford Falcon Interceptor XB Coupe, V8 351. It was Australia's TOP car movie. You were close as there was a 1972 Holden HQ LS Monaro coupe used in the movie, however it was not MAD MAX's.

You need to properly Research and watch the movie.
Or Just find a full blooded Aussie male to talk to in a pub.
He'll set you straight.
Classic line "The last of the V8 Interceptors... a piece of history!"
