Your own top 5 list: iconic cars

Since EVO recently had their survey then let us create our own iconic list.
Name 5 cars you would put on your "iconic list"


My list:

BMW M3 E30 - the first M3 and prized around the world
BMW M5 - the M5 started the whole powerful-midsize-german-car-war
Porsche 911 - 43 year old model and almost looks the same today
Mclaren F1 - topspeed record for a long time, a handbuilt dream sportcar for many
Golf GTI - the first GTI and many others followed in the same footsteps

Re: Your own top 5 list: iconic cars

MB 300sl- The original gullwing wasn't just beautiful but set the record at italy which still stands
BMW M3/csl- The original CSL, the Batmobile raised hell on european tracks.
Porsche 911- The legend which stands today as unbeatable.
McLaren F1- The perfect supercar, even by today's standards
MB S-Class- The original luxury sedan and all the leaders, public and gangsters choice even to this day.

Now for non germans- a quick list.

Nissan Skylin GT-R - Each generation shows how good that car is.
Honda NSX- driving dynamics perfected by senna. introduced new tech and kicked ferrari's ass back into making good cars.
Corvette-original american icon. Now...kicking almost everyone's ass
Ford GT40- original American ferrari beater..and it sure as hell did.

Re: Your own top 5 list: iconic cars

Porsche 911
Created by a man sho was forced to work with Hitler to create the Bettle.
Derivered from the beetle which is the most produced car ever.
A Model which barely has changed and has been standing for over 40 years
Last but not least it has ruled roads and tracks for 40 years.
The 911 simply the most special car out there and carries more history than any other car model around. Even in 100 years it will still be talked about.


Other worth mentioning(no order):
Mercedes S-class
Mclaren F1
VW Golf
Mini cooper
