These Are Your Ideal Getaway Cars
The perfect getaway car. Does it need to be quick? Or stealthy? Do you want to stand out and make a point, or blend in to daily traffic — never to be found by authorities?
Earlier this week, we asked you for your ideal getaway cars. The answers headed off in various directions that largely fell into two camps. The first camp wants to escape pursuit by any means necessary, usually via outright speed. The second camp looks to avoid a chase by blending into the crowd. Here are your best responses.

Arne’s Antics 25:39 Cannonball Run Record Audi S6 Walk Through
The Audi S6 that those Cannonball guys made look like a Taurus with all the police countermeasure junk in it.

U.S.S. Enterprise
Star Trek III Search for Spock - Stealing the Enterprise 1080p
I’m fairly certain that no police department on Earth has an interceptor capable of reaching orbit or traveling multiple times faster than the speed of light.

Any Minivan
Minivan. Under the radar. Plus I can drive like the harried parent I am. Just crank up The Wiggles and go!

Porsche Cayenne Turbo
I think a Turbo Cayenne. It blends in anywhere these days, a well kept one has plenty of go if needed. big enough for bags of money/guns/plutonium.. whatever you need to haul

BMW S 1000 R
If we are remotely realistic about what car chases are like and my goal is to get away, I’m going on 2 wheels, something like a BMW S1000 R. You have extremely good instant acceleration, the small size and extreme mobility mean you can do things and go places on the road that cars just can’t follow, and it’s comparatively easy to stash and hide well out of view from both the road and from helicopters above. The goal is to end the chase and hide that vehicle as quickly as possible, well before a full response of many patrol cars and helicopters can be mobilized.

Dodge Charger Hellcat
Since we’re sticking to the romanticized, fictional and highly made-up realm then I need a Hellcat Charger. Four doors for my crew. A large trunk for my “equipment” and later my haul, since the motto should be go big or go home. This’ll be fast enough when I find open road and it’s got some bulk in case I need to muscle my way around a little. And it’ll have to have the upgraded sound system (spare tire delete, since that’s pointless in this case anyway) so I can play my driving getaway play list.
