* ''WesternAnimation/Cars1''. Yes, the cars are animated, not to mention anthropomorphic. Car buffs were still impressed by the level of detail shown in modelling the characters on real cars. Paul Newman's Doc Hudson character, for example, was modeled on a Hudson Hornet, complete with its characteristic engine sounds.

* Combined with TechnologyPorn in Creator/{{Michael Bay}}'s ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries''. Justified in that the main characters turn into cars, among other vehicles, so much of the focus is naturally on them.
* ''[[Film/{{Rush2013}} Rush]]'', being a movie about Formula 1, features a lot of detailed close-ups of car engines, gearshifting, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything pistons pumping]], cars in the pit, cars zooming down the track, cars on a backdrop of SceneryPorn... it's lampshaded right at the start, where Lord Hesketh tells James Hunt's latest one-night stand that men love cars more than women.

* ''Film/LeMans'', is noted for having essentially no plot beyond the titular event, and features a number of exotic race cars. Most of the action sequences were filmed during the real 24 Hours of Le Mans.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}''. Yes, the cars are animated, not to mention anthropomorphic. Car buffs were still impressed by the level of detail shown in modelling the characters on real cars. Paul Newman's Doc Hudson character, for example, was modeled on a Hudson Hornet, complete with its characteristic engine sounds.

* This is the general basis for the ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' series. As the protagonists (and most of the antagonists, as well) are all car enthusiasts, much time is spent discussing, working on, and of course, racing cars. Cars also serve to help define the characters - Dom has a penchant for muscle cars, while Brian prefers Japanese imports, particularly [=GTRs=].

* Combined with an {{infodump}} in the pilot of ''Series/AdamTwelve'':

* From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTOg4aYGtdY an early scene]] in ''Film/TheBluesBrothers''
-->'''Jake''': what, the hell is this?
-->'''Elwood''': It's a bargain. I picked it up at the Mt. Prospect City Police auction last spring. It's an old Mt. Prospect Police car.
-->'''Jake''': Thanks a lot, pal. The day I get out of prison and my own brother picks me up in a police car.

-->''making a long story short, Elwood jumps the Chicago river with the car.''

-->'''Elwood''': It's got a cop motor, a 450-cubic-inch plant. Cop springs. Cop shocks. Cop suspension. Cop tires. It was a model made before catalytic converters, so it runs on regular gas. What do you say? Is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

* There's an entire arc of ''[[ComicBook/RobinSeries Robin]]'' dedicated to a group of car thieves who target expensive sports cars, during which Tim attends a car show, the cars of Gotham's elite are shown at a country club and a benefit gala and there are numerous chase scenes.

-->'''Malloy:''' You know what this is?
-->'''Reed:''' ''(smiling)'' Yes sir, it's a police car.
-->'''Malloy:''' This ''[[InsistentTerminology black-and-white patrol car]]'' has an overhead valve V8 engine. It develops 325 horsepower at 4800 RPM's. It accelerates from 0 to 60 in seven seconds; it has a top speed of 120 miles an hour. It's equipped with a multi-channeled DFE radio and an electronic siren capable of admitting three variables: wail, yelp, and alert. It also serves as an outside radio speaker and public address system. The automobile has two shotgun racks - one attached to the bottom portion of the front seat, one in the vehicle trunk. Attached to the middle of the dash, illuminated by a single bulb, is a hot sheet desk, fastened to which you will always make sure is the latest one off the teletype before you ever roll.
-->'''Reed:''' Yes, sir.
-->'''Malloy:''' It's your life insurance...and ''mine''. You take care of it, and it'll take care of you.
-->'''Reed:''' Yes, sir. You want me to drive?
-->'''Malloy:''' ''({{death glare}})''

-->'''Robin:''' Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed.
-->'''Batman:''' Roger. Ready to move out.

* ''WebVideo/{{Roadkill}}'' is more like car Gorn. The cars that come out the workshop are undead horrors and long periods of footage show cutting up, welding and improvising. Burnouts are common, as are all manner of racing, and the showing of problems that are often encountered, in the form of sticking the camera into broken parts or holding them up in front of the camera. More porn, perhaps, on the page, since their antics do feature in Hot Rod Magazine and the magazine of the programme itself.

* The "star" of [[TheLoveBug]] may just be a simple, unimpressive Volkswagen, but the first and third movie (''Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo'') especially provides glamorous shots of old sports cars from well known and obscure manufacturers from Ferrari and Lancia to Apollo and De Tomaso. Of course, all of them end up getting upstaged by the little car himself, Herbie.
