Films and car chases go hand in hand, so this week we have scoured the internet looking for some of the most infamous car chases, car trailers and car clips – from the gadget packed James Bond car to the modified Fast and the Furious rides. You can see more videos like these in this weeks video collection – Motoring Movie Clips.

First up is the world known car chase from the film Bullitt (1968). Directed by Peter Yates and starring Steve McQueen as ‘Bullitt’, this 9 minute long car chase features a Ford Mustang and a Dodge Charger.

The Fast and the Furious was released in 2001 and featured a whole new type of car scene. With modified cars featuring heavily this blockbuster saw fast paced street racing at full speed.

Mad Max Road Warrior was the second of the Mad Max series, featuring a post-apocalyptic Australian scene where fuel is a currency and vehicles are used as weapons.

For our next Wheels of the World in this series we are going to be looking at television advertisements, from the cake building Skoda ad to innovative Honda commercials.

With large advertising budgets and engineers around to help, car companies should produce amazing ads – and quite often they do! First up is the Honda Ad that gained a following and apparently took 206 attempts to get right – This clever car ad uses parts of cars to create a video narrative that is addictive to watch!

Next up is another car ad, this time from Nissan – Entitled ‘Nissan 4×4 Naturally Capable‘. This car ad highlights the Nissan 4×4 range by depicting a range of terrain it is suitable for and then the car changes form to overcome the terrain. A great ad that is always fun to see!

The Citreon C4 is next in this series of car advertisements, with another transforming car – but this time it turns from a car into a ice skating robot! – The second in the series of ad’s in which cars transform into man like robots – in the first ad the car dances!

Last up we have a car – but made out of cake! Skoda produce a whole new type of car – although I am not to sure its drivable!

First up – A novel invention from across the world – Japan brings you the walking motorbike! – Far from your usual two wheeled road bike this comical machine will transport you from a to b – at a leisurely speed.

Next we go to another motorbike from Japan that runs almost silently – “a new electric motorbike with a hybrid plug-in, electromagnetic-permanent magnet motor, and is seven times more cost-efficient than scooters running on petrol.”

Finally we visit America for a few motorbike stunts – don’t try this at home!
