Cars are not just means of transport. When they appear on the small screen, they can become protagonists, generational symbols, objects of desire. Especially if they are sporty, elegant, loud and stylish cars.
In the TV series of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, some cars became pop culture icons, helping to construct real collective imagery linked to speed, courage and the identity of the character driving them.
📺 Some legendary examples:
Ford Gran Torino (Starsky & Hutch): red with a white side stripe, it became one of the strongest visual symbols of 1970s TV. It wasn't just a car, it was the third star.
Ferrari 308 GTS (Magnum P.I.): seductive lines, central V8, and the Hawaiian charm of Tom Selleck. A car that has become synonymous with freedom and class.
Pontiac Trans Am (Supercar / Knight Rider): the famous talking KITT, able to drive itself. Visionary, black, technological: the car every child of the 1980s dreamed of.
Dodge Charger (The Dukes of Hazzard): the orange 'General Lee', with its bonnet flying through the hills of Georgia, has become a star-spangled rebel icon.
Chevrolet Corvette C1 (Route 66): the series that made America known on the road, told in a car of unparalleled style.
Not to mention the crazy Dune Buggy...who doesn't remember that?
🏁 Why does this inspire us?
In Original Race, we celebrate not only Porsche cars and classic motorsport, but also the cultural imagery that these cars evoke.
Each of our t-shirts, accessories or design products takes inspiration from the cult of detail, narrative style, and the desire to experience the car as an expression of identity.
Just as the 911 has become an icon in literature or film, the cars in TV series also remind us how a style can speak to the heart even before the engine.
If you too love the allure of iconic cars, come and discover our collections inspired by the myths on four wheels in TV series.
