The Gadgetmobile

The beauty of the Gadgetmobile — as opposed to the other highly accessorized cars on this list — is that it had an endless supply of gadgets that changed with every Inspector Gadget episode. Sure, there were the staples: ejector seats, rockets, and a retractable claw come to mind. But the car could also shoot tacks on the road to puncture car tires, extend its wheels the way Inspector Gadget could extend his arms, and transform into a totally different vehicle. Everything in the Gadgetmobile was voice automated. Want to release a pile of glue and catch Dr. Claw's henchmen in their tracks? No need for levers or buttons, a simple "Go-Go-Gadget Glue!" will suffice.
