Not just a music video where a car makes a small cameo.  No, we're talking full-blown, car-centric music videos here.  As in, the car is the star.

I humbly submit:

ZZ Top's Legs. How many of us fell in love with hotrods because of Eliminator?

Show Me How To Live was my first thought.

Not for everybody, but it's honest, and pretty GRM at heart.

How bout Blue Song by Mint Royale ie the music video that inspired Baby Driver. 

When I watched the video I kept thinking it would have driving in it. It doesn't, but the music has that vibe.

This is gonna be hard to beat. A lot of "car movies" aren't as good at being "car movies" as this music video.

I was also thinking Justice's Fire, but like ZZ Top's Legs, while the car stands out it's debatable whether it's the star:

In reply to GameboyRMH :

I'm fairly certain most of that video is literally just clips from the movie Vanishing Point, with clips with the band in them doctored a bit so they fit the tone of the movie. 

While I'm here again, I also nominate Sir Mix-A-Lot's valiant effort to make the supercar in a rap video cliche a legit thing.

Future World by the Pretty Maids.  Harder 80s metal, less glam, not much, but less.  

Less car and more band than I remembered. Still cool.

While I would consider it a cameo, Dirty Vegas Days Go By and the Eclipse.

I was going to suggest Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" but they don't show the Jaguars in it nearly as much as I remember.  How about 'Losing my Favorite Game" by The Cardigans.

Click on the "Insert Media Embed" icon on the toolbar, right under where it says "Your comment".  It's the one just to the right of the "Image" icon, 2 over from the ".  Cut and paste video URL.  Hit "OK".

Not actually my favourite, but how cool is it that the car is an instrument in this one?
