Oh I have too many to name. Just check out Clueless Tunes in the tuning forum to see them all, but one of my favorites -

Bugatti Veyron - The Kracken
 
R35: The Space Shuttle, Because of the color scheme, and how violent it is when it launches from the line.
458 Italia: The Coffee Grinder. It's engine sound reminds me of one.
Silver CRX: The FlagShip/ Mascot. I drive it so much that it's kinda like my Identity on GT5
NSX: Nostalgia. Reminds me of the NSX from Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero.
Several Civics share this name: GRRRRNNNNN!!! The sound they make when I'm really pushing it.
 
In the early days of GT5 I used to call my fully tuned Ford Focus RS "Smokey", as on comfort tyres it would pretty much be smoking the tyres 100% of the time.
 
I was just able to redeem my DLC vouchers & get all the touring race cars. I took to the Challenger with the fire green paint. but I decided to make a detuned setup for sports tires and relaxing driving instead of using it as a 600pp race car. I limit the engine to 420 hp, minimized the downforce, add 200kg ballast for 520 PP. It's #20, I call it the Dub.

Might drop the ride height and put in a chain link steering wheel.
 
A Black Lotus Esprit Turbo HC - Naomi

After the Bond Film with Caroline Munro in it (The spy who loved me, She was the actress who Stromberg's Helicopter Pilot : Naomi).
 
All my RX7s are painted Brilliant Black, so I call them the Ninjas. And I have a series of cars in yellow/red, grey/dark blue, pink/white/light blue and aqua blue/yellow that I refer to as the Pac Racing Club, Racing Team Solvalou, R.C Micro Mouse Mappy and Dig Racing Team. Let's see if someone catches the reference. Anyway, I don't really name single cars, so.....
 
I have a full set of Midget's that has all names. The favorite one is called "Tess" 👍

I also have a garage with over 850 cars and all have a unique name (named in setup-A)
 
We call the Corvette Z06 "The Toad" cos it err looks like a toad.:dopey:
 
I have a florescent yellow 550pp audi R8 called:
The banana rocket

Lol Coffee grinder? Really? Hahaha I love it!
 
There are a few names I have for certain cars, but posting them here would be in violation of the AUP. (Think stock Yellowbird, Stratos, etc.) ;)
 
Ballade CR-X - Blista Compact

All old arcade games by NAMCO! :)
 
I call my 2J the washing machine because it 'washes' the competition away. :sly:
 
:odd:

Apart from the 2J, which I call Chest Freezer (which it is), I call my cars like they should be called.
 
Darkstar - Enzo (black), Scuddie - 430 Scuderia, Shadow Hunter - Citroen GT (black) :)
 
My 111R with a 4.3L *Baby Venom*
 
I like to nickname my cars after countries.
One example is Finland, a Skyline GT-R R32.
 
Was planning on naming the E36 M3 convertible I'll be getting this evening Phoebe, mainly because my girlfriend loved that name :D
 
I have a Lava Orange Pearl MK3 Supra that I call thunder pumpkin.
 
Sometimes I'll put a name to my cars. Just depends on how much I like the car I guess.
 
My TVR Griffith 500 '04 is referred to as "sloppy piece of ****"

Honestly I have not named any of my virtual GT5 cars, but the real 1995 Corvette out in the garage is called "Green Machine."
