If Darth Vader had a sports car…

Darth Vader Ariel Atom

Of course he’d need his Storm Trooper backup too.

Storm Trooper Lotus Elise

You know, to do all the dirty work if he gets a flat tyre.

    cd.subaru,

    You should watch Star Wars. Seriously.

    I agree with rexis.

    Darth Vader should drive Maybach Exelero instead of Ariel Atom. So not cool. Funny yes.

    Yes agreed with rexis, storm trooper should ride police bike. The new honda one.

    I think Skywalker X-wing will be faster then the car, but since he’s the darth, he can basically use his force to zoom off on light speed, too bad for the troopers… haha

    I think Darth vader should have black matte RR phantom in cruise mode and have Pagani Zonsa R in attack mode. Anyway nice try.

  14. SKUNK_WORKS said,

    February 16, 2009 @ 9:46 am

    ops should be Zonda not zonsa…typo error

    ____________________________________

    the exelero does look like something darth would own to drive around on a weekend. But i think in a dogfight, he will go for the atom, a good example is his tie fighter advanced, which is smaller, sleeker and quicker than the regular tie fighters.

    Vader driving the Atom reminds me of Transformers Crossover toyline. Maybe the car transforms into Darth Vader? ><;

    If Darth Vader is driving an Ariel Atom, maybe Hans Solo would be driving The Maxximus G-Force because he piloted the Milinieum Falcon, the fastest ship in the galactic. So it would fit him to drive the fastest car but don’t expect him to corner like Darth Vader… And Princess Leia would be driving the MyVi SE… LOL

    The Storm Troopers should be driving a Mitsubishi Triton :) …too bad they changed the name to Triton, the old name Mitsubishi Storm would fit them better :)

    Luke might fancy the GUMPERT Apollo R with 800hp… ;)

    Seriously, will the police stop me if I wearing a Darth helmet?

    KTM X-BOW for X wing :P

    February 16, 2009 @ 12:33 pm

    Hahaha…that’s a funny one I must say. Even funnier is that Darth Vader and his Storm Trooper also know which car to drive…small yet agile with fuel consumption in mind…kah kah kah…no wonder lah all the Transformer choose the fuel guzzler car from the USA coz they don’t even need refueling… :-)

  27. pulge said,

    Storm Trooper should ride the new Honda DN-01, ala Kamen Rider style!

    ==========

    My guess, if you’re riding a bike, yes the police is gonna stop you for helmet is not meeting safety standard, rules and regulation. But one always have an option to go for the Stig’s helmet which looks 70% similar to Storm Trooper.

    If you’re driving a car, there is also possibility that you will be stopped, because the helmet attracts attention and might cause accident! Hahaha.

    xatomic,
    Most of the time, Master Yoda will sit behind his RR Phantom with two Jedi knights as the driver and co-driver. Occasionally, he would take his fully customized Harley Davidson out for picnic.

    isharestuff,
    It will be hiralous if one can find a Darth helmet with sirim approved sticker!

    Hilarious….but scary at the same time since visibility through the Darth Vader and Stormtrooper costume helmets are rather poor….unless of course, some reputable racing helmet manufacturer (like Bell or Schuberth…hint! hint!) introduces a Star Wars line of helmets…..that’d be cool! I’d definitely get one then!

    Maybe they can make their own racing team. Jedi Racers or Sith Racing. ^^;

    I think Yoda should become the head mechanic. :p

    darth vader is a cartoon character, appeared occasionally in garfield, smurf or voltron series.

    his upcoming new series would be upin & ipin.
