If I were a heinously rich mafioso, I'm sure I'd pick the Volga V12 Coupe... the ultimate in KGB style, and loads of power on tap
The Question: If you were supposed to represent the very elite of an underground criminal network, what would be your transportation of choice?

nice choice, but i would go with one of two cars (depending on time period). The best vintage gangster car is a 1934 Ford Roadster. The Best new one is a 1996 Mercedes S 500
To Some, a rusted out 1989 GMC Suburban* is trash
But to Me, its home

BMW X5, closely followed by the Cayenne. I like the Volga, you can buy them here as classics, well maintained good looking but lousy to drive.

Well, probably not this Volga... it's a one-off by a Russian company, and it's based on a BMW 850CSi platform. I think it's got something like 360hp... 0-60 in under 6 seconds, and a top speed of around 250km/hOriginally Posted by henk4

Yes I know that car too, I was referring to the classic four door version. I don't think the coupe body itself was ever available from the factory.Well, probably not this Volga... it's a one-off by a Russian company, and it's based on a BMW 850CSi platform.

a roadster? and what exactly is a big mafioso going to do with that? no big back seat for the dead body plus no trunk....not to mention the dude is prob too fat to fit in the thing.

On a serious note, i agree with the quattroporte but an all time great and serius gangster car has to be the 1983 Excalibur Series IV Phaeton.

at least this was what Kathleen Turner drove in Prizzi's Honour, although she mentioned that it was European build and Japanese designed
