40 Coolest Cars Of The 2000s

40 Coolest Cars Of The 2000s

The year 2000 was the start of a new millennium—and we celebrated the world not ending by introducing massaging seats in some cars, GPS navigation, Bluetooth technology, and a rear-view camera so that you can wave goodbye to the cars of the 1990s.

You may still have been driving your 90s car, but we know you were eyeing up that 2000 model for your vehicle of choice. Here are some of the coolest cars produced between 2000 and 2010.

2000 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0

The Lamborghini Diablo produced a staggering 575 horsepower from a 6.0L engine. Unfortunately, the Diablo VT 6.0 wasn't sold in North America due to safety and emissions concerns.

Still, all 80 of them ever produced before 2001 (the last time Lamborghini produced the Diablo) sold out fairly quickly on the European market.

2001 Plymouth Prowler

The Plymouth Prowler was an interesting car—a unique shape and design—and popular among motoring enthusiasts. It was capable of producing 253 horsepower from a 3.5L V6 engine and had a 0 to 60 time of just six seconds.

It was a gorgeous convertible that looked different from the rest of the cars on the road.

2005-2008 Dodge Magnum SRT

Dodge produced some great family vehicles in the 2000s: the Caliber, the ever-reliable Grand Caravan, and the lesser-known Dodge Magnum SRT. The Magnum SRT was a short but powerful vehicle, bringing 425 horsepower to bear with its Hemi 6.1L engine.

It even did 0-60 in 5.1 seconds. The Magnum wasn't just powerful but also practical, with 71.6 cubic feet of storage and seating for five.

2000 Lincoln LS-V8

The 2000 Lincoln LS-V8 was the 2000 MotorTrend Car Of The Year. It took its V8 engine from Jaguar and produced 252 horsepower without sacrificing handling or ride experience.

Unfortunately, Lincoln didn't sell as well as German or Japanese competitors but was still reasonably popular in the United States.
