From Harry Potter’s flying Ford Anglia to the DeLorean in Back to the Future, many films have introduced us to cars that let our imaginations run wild. But how much would these fictional vehicles cost if they could be sold in real life?

Uswitch.com/car-insurance was curious to find out, and after consulting CashForCars.com to discover the estimated cost of the most popular fictional vehicles in cinema and TV, they can now reveal all. 

THE RESULTS

If sold in real life, the Gadgetmobile would be the most expensive vehicle – Inspector Gadget’s famed robotic car value is estimated at £18,189,010. Inspired by the 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible, the vehicle itself can be valued at £54,466, but its many hidden features such as the ability to change shape, jet engines, bumper claws and glue rockets increases this value by £18,134,544. 

Following behind in second place is Acura 2012 Stark Industries Super Car featured in Marvel’s The Avengers. With high-tech features such as a palm-scan ID steering wheel, this Palladium-powered car is driven by Robert Dooney Jr.’s Tony Stark (Ironman). Fans of superheroes and supercars could own it for an estimated £6,672,084 if sold in real life. 

Another superhero car races into third place, the Batmobile. Driven by Christian Bale’s Batman in The Dark Knight (2008), the vehicle would cost an estimated £6,528,458 in real life.
