*** The Tumbler isn't a Weaponized Car any more than a main battle tank is a weaponized bulldozer. There's no civilian version of this vehicle.

* ''[[{{MASK}} M.A.S.K.]]'' This series is pretty much loaded with this trope, cars, trucks and other vehicles also, even the logo for the series itself contains a Trope Codifier(aka a weaponized car or truck rather). Examples include Thunderhawk, Shark, Jackhammer to name a few of the vehicle examples.

* Although none of its vehicles are actually ''weaponized'', this trope is played with a bit in ''NationalTreasure 2'', in that some RealLife perks now included into high-end cars are used to add novelty to the chase scenes. Most notably, one chase starts out with the heroes' car going ''backwards'', with driver Ben ducked down out of the line of gunfire, and steering via the rear-view camera's video screen.

* MackBolan uses a decidedly uncool GMC motorhome, which does however have the advantage of being the last thing anyone would expect a OneManArmy to be driving. It has advanced electronic surveillance capabilities and a retractable 4-shot guided missile launcher, but no armour (except for some steel plates around the driver's seat) as Bolan only uses it for long-range combat.

** You could say the very concept of the armored car and the later invention of the tank is made of this trope : The first armored cars from the GayNineties and EdwardianBritain were mostly modified civilian variants (with an armored plated chassis and a machine gun turret at the back) and the first tractors were heavily based on the chassis and motors of contemporary heavy duty treaded tractors (both civilian and military ones).
