Lincoln Continental SS-100X (John F. Kennedy)

Porsche 550 Spyder (James Dean)
James Dean enjoyed a very famous cinematic and racing career. He bought a Porsche 550 Spyder and set out to drive it at a racing event in Salinas, California. Unfortunately, the car got involved in a fatal accident which led to the death of Dean. There were also rumors about the car malfunctioning because when its engine and parts were cut and used in other cars, they would cause bad accidents including a fatality.
Mercedes Grosser 770 (Adolf Hitler)
Mercedes produced only 88 units of this model, and one of them was owned and used by Hitler. This model was only available to high-ranking officials in Nazi Germany. What a bad reason to bring this into the limelight, right?

Porsche Carrera GT (Paul Walker)
Even 10 years after its launch, the car remained in a sad spotlight. Most Paul Walker fans would know that the Porsche Carrera GT was involved in the accident that took Walker’s life.
Mercedes S-Class (Princess Diana)
