The Porsche 911 is considered to be the most influential and iconic sports car of all time. In the 2002 entertainer, Awara Pagal Deewana, Akshay's character is seen performing drifts in a 993 version of 911 Carrera. The 993 is the designation used by Porsche for this particular generation and it is considered by Porsche loyalists as the greatest 911 because it marked the end of the traditional formula for the 911- the air-cooled engine - as the newer generations are now powered by water-cooled engines.
2. Hummer H1

The Hummer H1 was powered by a 5.7-litre V8 engine.
