The “Fast & Furious” franchise is like every every gearhead’s fantasy brought to life. Spanned over almost 20 hours across what is now eight installments, Fast & Furious showcases hundreds of eye-dropping whips being raced, flipped, lit on fire, flipped, driven out of airplanes and skyscrapers and dumped out of 10-story garages. There’s so many incredible cars being driven by Dom, Roman, Tej, Letty, Brian, Edwin, Owen, Deckhard and the rest of the characters that it can feel overwhelming to try and keep up. That’s why we’ve put all the most important vehicles in once place: right here. So read up on the complete history of every important car in the Fast & Furious franchise, and get pumped for the ninth installment coming in 2019.

1994 Acura Integra GS-R [DB8]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Mia Toretto's (Jordana Brewster) whip in the original movie. Naturally, it's one of the most customized imports of all time, the Acura Integra.

1994 Acura Integra [DC2]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Edwin's (Ja Rule) heavily modified whip. It wasn't just cosmetic, either. While the most immediately noticeable things about this Integra were the graphics and the Wings West RS Racing series ground effects kit, it also had Momo GT rims with red socket lugs, a heavily modified suspension, cold air intake, 3mm overbored throttle body, TruTime adjustable cam timing gears, Type-R intake cam, red anodized overdrive pulleys for both the alternator and power steering, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, DC Sports headers and exhaust, GReddy engine oil cooler, MSD 6A ignition and external HVC blaster coil, and an Exedy racing clutch and lightened flywheel.

1970 Dodge Charger

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Dom Toretto's (Vin Diesel) baby. Don't worry; the car destroyed in the jump wasn't a real Hemi. Sure, it hurts to watch, but you can at least console yourself knowing that 4 of these Chargers were constructed for filming. They used a 426 Hemi for closeups, but the other cars used more readily available (and less expensive) big-block 440s.

1992 Ford Crown Victoria

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

It wouldn't be an entry in the F&F franchise without some cop chase scenes, would it? We didn't think so.

1999 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Brian O'Conner's (Paul Walker) daily driver/delivery truck during his short-lived job at Racer's Edge. May or may not belong to shop owner Harry.

1992 Honda Civic [EG]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Hector's (Noel Gugliemi) bronzed beauty with trick BBS rims.

1993 Honda Civic [EJ]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Silver EJ featuring ViS Racing body bits.

1993 Honda Civic [EJ1]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Featuring ViS Racing Bomber GT body kits, three of these were used by Dom's crew to jack a semi at the climax of the movie.

1996 Honda CR250

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

According to Johnny Tran's (Rick Yune) gang, this is a good dirtbike for drive-bys.

2001 Kawasaki KLR 650

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

You could also go green and ride a Kaw for all your drive-by needs.

1993 Mazda RX-7 [FD]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Dom Toretto's tuner kid's dream. This FD was designed after a Keith Imoto car, and originally came with a roll cage. Unfortunately, Diesel couldn't fit into the car with the roll cage, so it had to go. It had a stock twin-turbo 255hp engine with 4-bottle NOS system, stock suspension, and aluminum struts. Appearance mods include Veilside USA Aero bodykit, RX-7 GT rear wing, Lexan headlight covers, and Veilside rims.

1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Brian O'Conner's race ride. The Eclipse used for the film was rented from LA tuner John Lapid. Also, the car used for close-up shots wasn't actually turboed. Appearance mods include a nonfunctional roof scoop, RoboCar Aero Armor Eclips body kit, ARP GT2 wing, 1997-spec Eclipse headlights, and Se7en 180 Axis Sport Tuning rims.

1997 Nissan 240SX [S14]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Letty Ortiz's (Michelle Rodriguez) whip. Was this popular drift car's inclusion foreshadowing The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift? You decide.

1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R [R33]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

This R33 was popular in tuner circles, gracing many a magazine before and after its time in The Fast and the Furious. Unfortunately, due to some draconian Wisconsin laws about grey-market imports, Big Bird (as its owner called it) met an untimely demise in a crusher last year, along with another R33 owned by the same guy. It survived filming, but not bureaucracy. RIP, Big Bird.

1999 Nissan Maxima [A32]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Vince's [Matt Schulze] ride. It featured a Vortech superchager, loads of Stillen bits, a Stillen body kit, Veilside rear spoiler, and HP Racing Flight rims.

1987 Peterbilt 359

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

This Peterbilt featured in a robbery-gone-wrong that was also one of the most iconic scenes of The Fast and the Furious.

1995 Toyota Supra MkIV [JZA80]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Brian O'Conner's Charger-beater, which he then gave Dom Toretto so he could get away from the cops after Jesse got shot. The Charger was the star of the show, but this Supra was a close second. It was rented from the technical advisor on the film, Craig Lieberman. Performance mods include a 2JZ 3.1 engine swap, Turbonetics T-66 ball-bearing turbo & Delta II wastegate, RPS stainless steel/HTC-coated custom header, NOS 100-hp NOS system, AEBS turbo downpipe, GReddy Power Extreme Exhaust, Pro-Fec B boost controller, Airinx intake, Clutchmasters stage III racing clutch, an 11-pound billet flywheel. and an Eibach coilover suspension. Appearance mods include M5Tuners 19" Dazzle Racing Hart rims, and custom graphics.

1995 Volkswagen Jetta A3 [Typ 1H]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious (2001)

Jesse's (Chad Lindberg) whip may have been an automatic. It may have featured a turbo Integra noise that was supposed to sound like the stock 2.0 4-cylinder engine with nitrous. But the kid had heart, and mentioned that this was a project car he'd been working on with his dad. We can respect that. Your first car isn't always going to be the most awesome ride on the block, especially if it comes from your parents. That's probably the most realistic thing in this entire series, if we're honest.

2000 Acura NSX

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Tej's (Ludacris) whip. It featured a special brown and gold Tej'd up Louis Vuitton patterned paint scheme. The engine was stock, but the hood scoop was a custom-fabbed piece.

BMW 323is Coupe [E36]

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

When Carter Verone (Cole Hauser) hosted a contest to get his potential wheelmen to show off their skills, this 323is stood no chance against the Yenko Camaro and the Challenger R/T.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko/SC Replica

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Year One built a few of these replicas for 2 Fast 2 Furious. Engine used was a 427ci L72 pushrod V8, and the Cragar S/S rims were a nice touch.

1995 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

You won't be surprised that this was a cop car. But the production team goofed and used interior shots to represent it that were taken from a Crown Vic. Oops.

1998 Chevrolet Corvette [C5]

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

The Fast and the Furious franchise has employed more than its fair share of crazy stunts. While this may not be the best of the movies, this 'Vette's rollover crash with the Saleen was completely unplanned -- the car wasn't even properly rigged for this stunt to be done safely. When it happened, the stunt driver managed to use a strap to pull himself down under the dashboard -- the safest part of the car. The whole thing was filmed, and in the end, looked so cool that it ended up in the finished movie anyway.

1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

After Brian O'Conner decides that he needs Roman Pearce's (Tyrese Gibson) help, he has to go collect him from his current job: demolition derby driver. This Monte Carlo with sharp teeth is the first ride of Roman's that we see.

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Like the Yenko Camaro, shots of this Challenger R/T were put together using replicas. No real 1970 Challenger R/Ts were harmed in the making of this movie. Engine was a 426ci Hemi pushrod V8 with dual 750cfm Holley carbs on a cross-ram manifold.

Dodge Viper SRT-10

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

When the police show up at the boat yard, this Viper is seen fleeing the scene.

2003 Lincoln Navigator Ultimate [U228]

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

This Navigator is how the Challenger R/T meets its end during a chase sequence.

2001 Honda S2000 [AP1]

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Suki's (Devon Aoki) whip. It's not just meant to look good, either; she races in it. Engine is a 2-liter aluminum-alloy DOHC F20C1 inline 4 with a Comptech supercharger. It also features a Paxton Novi 1000 Toucan Industries exhaust with a non-functioning Ractive chrome tip. Appearance mods include a Veilside Millennium body kit, Motegi Racing 18" rims, and airbrushed artwork done by Noah of Noah Fine Art.

1993 Mazda RX-7 [FD]

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Orange Julius' (Amaury Nolasco) whip. This FD was built from Dom Toretto's FD in The Fast and the Furious. It features a Versus body kit, flip-up headlights, J-spec hood, CAT 2 fog lights, and RO_JA rims.

2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Roman Pearce's whip. It has a stock engine, but appearance mods include a Shine Street wide body kit and rear wing, APC carbon fiber hood, Genera/TYC Euro taillights, and Lowenhart BR5 rims. Tunes are nicely delivered via a Rockford Fosgate amp & speakers.

2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Brian O'Conner's racing whip. Although it was an Evo VII, Mitsubishi fitted it with Evo VIII taillights. Engine is a turboed 2-liter DOHC 16-v 4G63 inline 4 with nitrous. Appearance mods include a DAMD body kit, ARC rear wing, and Motegi Racing rims.

1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R [R34]

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

At the beginning of the movie, Brian O'Conner shows up in this R34, which is his personal car. Engine is a twin turboed 2.6-liter RB26DETT block with Nitrous Express in-car nitrous system, intercooler and bracketry, as well as a K&N Filter ram air upgrade kit. Suspension mods include Goldline lowering springs and JIC Magic-supplied adjustable shocks. Appearance mods include a C-West/MotoRex body kit, Flexivity rear wing, and HRE 446 19" rims. In case you're wondering how an AWD car could do some stunts, the front driveshaft was disconnected prior to filming so the rear wheels could spin. Also, the jump sequence broke the oil pan and blew out all the tires. Don't try that at home.

2003 Saleen S281-E Mustang

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

This Saleen met an unfortunate end under the wheels of a semi during a highway chase sequence. At least it didn't end as badly as it did for the C5 Corvette.

1993 Toyota Supra Turbo MkIV [JZA80]

Appeared In: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Slap Jack's (Michael Ealy) whip was a made-over Supra that had belonged to Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) in The Fast and the Furious. Engine is a 3-liter DOHC 2JZ-GTE 24-valve inline six with a GReddy T-88 single turble. It also has a GReddy strut tower bar, Power Extreme exhaust, intercooler, polished intake manifold, fuel rail, fuel injector, and various clutch uprades, as well as a Nitrous Express nitrous system. Appearance mods include a Versus wide body kit, rear wing, and hood, as well as FET/Catz HID lights and OZ Superleggera rims. The custom Lexan clear, louvered hood panel made it easy for the production team to stick high-quality photos of the engine in some of the engine-less stunt cars.

1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

At the beginning of the movie, Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) has a confrontation with Clay (Zachary Ty Bryan) in which he drives this tricked-out Monte Carlo pretty heroically -- until he totals it spectacularly, of course. The production team used 11 of these, in total. A stock-car pro-grade suspension was a must. The engine was a Bill Mitchell 632ci big block with a Holley 4-barrel carb on a World Products intake manifold.

Other engine upgrades include March Pulley Systems brackets and pulleys, a NOS system, a Jaz fuel cell, Earl's Performance Fittings steel braided line and anodized fittings, Hooker headers, a Flowmaster dual chamber exhaust, a Be Cool radiator, an Edelbrock water pump, Global West front and rear tubular control arms and weight jacks, Year One coil springs, Wilwood disc brakes, Speedway Engineering swaybars, Wenco 1350 extreme performance driveshaft, Quick Ratio steering box with IROC Camaro internals, Matt Sweeney reinforced fram and rollcage, Moser 12-bolt with Moser Spool 4.88 gears, and KYB shocks.

Appearance mods (yeah, we know) include a Fiberglass Trends cowl hood (arguably still a performance piece since it lowers weight significantly over stock) and Hella headlights.

2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

This is the car that Clay tries to use to race Sean's Monte Carlo. Although Sean does total the Monte Carlo at the end, at least he destroys the Viper first.

1967 Ford Mustang

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Tokyo Drift starts with Sean having a badass classic Monte Carlo and wrecking it because he doesn't know how to control it. By the end of the movie, however, he's learned a lot more about car control -- and the black art of drifting, in particular. With the help of his dad, he builds up a 1967 Ford Mustang by stuffing a RB26DETT Skyline engine into it (salvaged from Han's Silvia, which Sean wrecks earlier in the movie. This prancing ponycar is also reinforced with Global West control arms and front coilovers, KYB rear shocks, and Wilwood disc brakes. Very few appearance mods are applied, including Shelby-style B-pillar schoops and Volk Racing grey GT-7 No. 0355 19" rims as a further nod to the Silvia -- which sported the same rims.

1994 Veilside Mazda RX-7 [FD]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Han meets his unfortunate end behind the wheel of this tricked-out FD. This Veilside-built beauty won the 2005 Tokyo Auto Salon Best of Show prize. Performance mods include Apexera Power FC engine management system, HKS TO42 turbo kit and v-mounted intercooler, Veilside custom intercooler piping, NGK Racing spark plugs, Apexera N1 damper and Rotara brake system. A77ppearance mods include Veilside's Fortune RX-7 body kit and Veilside 19" rims.

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

After Sean kills Han's Silvia, Han lets him use this Evo IX instead. It has an Evo VIII end, which can lead to confusion -- but it's an Evo IX. Engine is a 2-liter turboed DOHC 4G63 with an RMR air intake system and downpipe. Front driveshafts were disconnected to make drifting an AWD car possible. Appearance mods include an APR body kit and rear wing, APR Racing side mirrors, and Ray's Wheels G-Games 99B 19" rims.

2004 Mazda RX-8 [FE3S]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Neela (Nathalie Kelley) isn't afraid to show up the boys in this slick blue whip. Engine is a Renesis 1.3-liter 13B rotary with GReddy turbo kit and engine management system and a Tanabe exhaust. Other performance mods include a Cusco LSD and rear swaybar, as well as Tein coil springs. Appearance mods include Veilside's D1-GT body kit, a carbon fiber painted cowl hood, Veilside carbon fiber GT wing, and Volk Racing GT-AV silver #0363 19" rims.

2002 Nissan Fairlady Z [Z33]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

The undisputed king of the mountain in the Tokyo Drift street racing world is D.K. (Brian Tee), short for Drift King. Two of these were built with twin turbos and intercoolers and produced 460hp at the rear wheels. Some others used had nitrous systems. Appearance mods include a Veilside Version 3 wide body kit with corbon fiber hood, Speedway Engineering hood pins, Ghostlight Scarab graphics, Ganador carbon fiber mirros, and Veilside Andrew Evo 19" rims. Lead drift driving as DK was handled by Rhys Millen.

2002 Nissan Fairlady Z

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Morimoto (Leonardo Nam), one of D.K.'s henchmen, drives this Z. Engine is a 3.5-liter VQ35DE V-6 with an HKS supercharger and NOS. Appearance mods include a Top Secret wide body kit, hood, and rear wing, as well as Speedway Engineering hood pins and Volk by Ray's GTC gold spoke rims.

2003 Nissan Fairlady Z [Z33]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Tea Hair #1 (Kazuki Namioka) completes D.K.'s Z trifecta with this car. Engine is the same 3.5-liter VQ35DE V-6 as in Morimoto's, but sans supercharger or NOS. Appearance mods include a Top Secret body kit and GT rear wing, a Top Secret carbon fiber painted hood, and Volk Racing GT-C silver No.0351 18" rims.

1993 Nissan Silvia S13

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Earl (Jason Tobin) drives this sweet Silvia. Engine is the 2-liter DOHC turboed 16-valve SR20DET lump. Appearance mods include a C-West GT Carbon 1 wing and Ray's Gram Lights 57 Pro 17" rims.

2001 Nissan Silvia Spec-S [S15]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Han's turboed RB26 Skyline GT-R-engined baby gets destroyed by Sean, who doesn't have the first clue about drifting when he moves to Tokyo. Before its untimely death, this car also had Earl's Performance steel braided lines with anodized fittings, a C-West body kit, a GT rear wing, Ganador side mirrors, and Volk Racing grey GT-7 No.0355 19" rims.

2006 Volkswagen Golf R32

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

You may think Twinkie (Bow Wow) is just a spectator at drifting. You'd be wrong. Although this R32 with Lambo doors belongs to Reiko (Keiko Kitagawa), a deleted scene from Tokyo Drift lets us watch Twinkie show off his drifting skills. Or lack thereof. Hey, at least he didn't total an S15.

2005 Volkswagen Touran [Typ1T]

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Twinkie's (Bow Wow) ride isn't meant for drifting. It's just meant to show his love for the Incredible Hulk -- way before Avengers-mania swept through movie theaters all over the world. It features a Hulked Out body kit and paint scheme -- what else?

1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Appeared In: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

Dom Toretto makes a tiny guest appearance at the end of Tokyo Drift in this Road Runner, which he says he won from Han. When you first watch this movie, you're thinking that none of the original crew are going to show up. Dom's cameo in this iconic car is a nice surprise.

2003 Acura NSX [NA2]

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Mia Toretto's whip. Apparently, she has a thing for Acuras. We can't say we blame her; we miss the NSX.

2001 BMW 540i [E39]

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

This 5-series was made to look vaguely M5ish by the production team, and races against Dom Toretto and Brian O'Conner. Around 11 were made, but only 2 survived filming. They had Eibach suspensions and carbon fiber painted hoods, roofs, and trunk lids -- but no other performance mods.

1987 Buick Grand National GNX

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Dom Toretto shows up in this lowered Grand National at the beginning of Fast and Furious, immediately reasserting his imposing presence onscreen. The production team built 8 of these cars, and installed CNC slide brakes and Wilwood calipers in the rear to help facilitate stunt demands. No actual GNXs were harmed in the making of the film. Some of the cars used were built-up Regals.

1973 Chevrolet Camaro RS-Z28 F-bomb

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

After Letty is murdered, Dom will stop at nothing to avenge her. When he finally tracks down her murderer, he kills him with this F-bomb. The twin-turboed, 1500hp beast known as the real F-bomb is far too rare and valuable a car for the Fast and Furious crew to have used, so instead they built 6 F-bomb impersonators using GM 300hp Crate engines.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS454

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

If you thought Dom's Charger couldn't be topped, the Fast and Furious crew brought this tight classic on board just for you. At the end of The Fast and the Furious (2001), Dom's in Mexico and you see him drive off in a Chevelle. This is supposed to be that Chevelle, which he's fixed up (hence the different paint than the the first movie) -- and which he continues to race prep.

1970 Dodge Charger

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Wondering what love looks like? Love looks like Letty restoring Dom's wrecked Charger piece by piece, so it can live to kick ass another day in Fast & Furious. The car's stated specs in the movie include a supercharged Chrysler 426 Hemi V-8, Holley fuel pump, Hedman headers, Flowmaster exhaust, Hotchkis suspension, Wilwood disc and slide brakes, and of course the supercharger being mounted so it comes up through the hood rather than being bolted onto it. No wonder he was so anxious to avenge her death.

1972 Ford Gran Torino Sportsroof

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Everyone who's ever played a platformer knows you have to fight the miniboss before you get to the big boss. The miniboss of Fast & Furious is Fenix Rise (Laz Alonso), and this unforgettable green Gran Torino Sportsroof is his ride. Engine is a Ford 429 Cobra Jet with a Holley carb and fuel pump, and a K&N air filter, among other things. Hotchkis suspension, Wilwood disc brakes with rally calipers on the back, and Coy's C-67 Gun Metal 18" rims complete the ride.

2008 GT Tjaarda 550R

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Non-car people might just think this is a Mustang GT. Unfortunately for them, Malik's (Neil Brown, Jr.) ride is a Tjaarda custom job with a Saleen stage-2 supercharger on a 4.6 liter Ford V8, which makes 470hp (after being tuned down from 490). Other modifications include a custom pulley and pump in the water pump, high-flow cats, JBA exhaust pipes, Magnaflow mufflers, Ford Racing FR500 suspension, Baer Extreme 14" disc brakes, and 20" GT Legends Gun Metal Ghost rims. The entire interior and the body kit are all custom designed by Tjaarda.

1989 Chevrolet Suburban

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Evil henchmen need tough wheels, too -- especially in the desert. Four of these were built and none survived the shoot. Engine was a 454 Chevrolet with GM Performance intake and Holley carb. Suspension was boosted all around with Fox shocks and an ORU 2-inch lift kit.

2005 Infiniti G35

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Tash (Wilmer Calderon) raced this whip through the streets of L.A.

2000 Nissan Silvia [S15]

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

David Park's (Ron Yuan) whip was this one-of-a-kind (well, in the U.S.) S15. Apparently, director Justin Lin loved the Silvias in Tokyo Drift so much, he wanted one for the followup as well. Since the S15 was never released in the U.S., the production team used a few S14 240SXs with clever body kits to act as doubles. Of them, the true S15 is the only one that survived the shoot.

Engine: turboed SR20DET with a GReddy intake and a Koyo radiator with dual electric fans. Other performance mods include Tomei Turboman headers, Grenade stainless exhaust pipes, an RSR downpipe, an RPS Stage 4 clutch with lightened chromoly flywheel, a B&M short shifter, a Tomei Technical trax 2-way diff, Cusco coil-overs, and GReddy six-piston brake calipers front and rear. Appearance mods include Volk Racing 18" rims, a Cwest GT widebody kit, and a VIS carbon fiber hood.

2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R [R34]

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Brian O'Conner means business, so he brings this R34 to the game. But to do the necessary stunts, the production team decided it made more sense to get their hands on some RWD GT-Ss instead, then dress them up to portray the GT-R.

Yes, of course this was cheaper, but it also made more sense because it saved them from having to disconnect the front driveshafts, as they would have had to do with actual GT-Rs (and which they'd already done in previous entries to the F&F franchise). Six cars were used in total, with a seventh being built from a fiberglass R34 shell that was slapped onto a dune buggy to do off-roading sequences.

1981 Peterbilt 359

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Big truck fall down. Go boom.

1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Although Dom shows up in this car at the end of Tokyo Drift and says he got it from Han, the events portrayed in Fast and Furious are supposed to chronologically take place BEFORE the events of Tokyo Drift. Perhaps this is why in Fast and Furious, this car apparently belongs to Letty.

In any case, unlike Tokyo Drift, this wasn't actually the infamous real-life Road Runner known as Hammer. Instead, two Plymouth Satellites and another Road Runner were dressed up to pretend to be Hammer. The Satellites were both decimated during production, but the Road Runner is safely sitting in storage. Movie engine specs had it as a Chrysler 440ci V8 with a Holley carb. The only appearance mod made was the addition of 18" Raceline rims, since Hammer looks plenty badass on its own.

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Another of Brian's rides. Performance mods include Remus headers, Cobb exhaust pipes, and a Remus muffler. Appearance mods include 18" Enkei rims and a Veilside body kit.

2007 TechArt GTsport Porsche Cayman

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Gisele (Gal Gadot) pilots this whip. She also has a Ducati Streetfighter that she shows up on in Fast Five. A European exotic among European exotics, and all of the above stand out in the franchise.

1978 Year One "Bandit" Trans Am

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)

Powered by a Corvette Z06 engine, this Trans Am was borrowed from Year One and managed to make it back from the production alive. Other significant mods include Baer Racing disc brakes, a modernized tubular A-arm suspension upgrade, and Year One 18" rims.

Conquest Knight XV

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

Only the "most extreme, badass truck on the planet" is good enough for Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). Powered by a Ford 6.8L V10, the Knight XV is built as an armored vehicle from the ground-up, not armored after the fact. It's also all about the luxury on the inside. This combination of features may explain why its MSRP is $485,000. There's a less expensive civilian version available, as well, called the Armet Gurkha F5, which was marketed on the tails of the release of Fast Five because it looks very similar to its Knight XV big brother. For a cool $150,000, that one can be yours.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Replica by Mongoose Motorsports

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

Only five actual Corvette Grand Sports still exist, and they run around $5M each, so it's not surprising that the picture car department went with a few modern Mongoose replicas instead. The hero car has the 502hp GM big-block V8 stuffed into it, while some of the cars destined for destruction have less expensive small-block V8 engines instead. One of the Mongoose replica shells was also fitted to a VW-powered off-road chassis for some of the jumps and off-road action.

2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

Looking at the photo, you'll notice that there's a GMC badge on the front instead of the Chevy bow tie. That's because this Suburban 2500 was fitted with a GMC front end -- but the interior is all Chevy. Ludacris apparently bought one of the few that survived filming after Fast Five wrapped.

1970 Dodge Charger

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

This car is Dom through and through. That's why it keeps reappearing throughout the course of the Fast and the Furious film franchise. Thing is, it's not the same car every time. That's not even an actual Hemi under the hood; it's a Chevy small-block V8 that makes about 400hp. Since legit Charger parts are hard to find, large amounts of the front and rear end are fabricated, so it doesn't matter if the picture car people get their hands on a '68 or a '70 -- they can make those taillights consistently look how they want. It does have a real BDS 8-71 blower and electronic fuel injection system installed, however. Certain other concessions to modernity have been made, as well, including Baer Racing disc brakes all around, so this beast can stop well.

2010 Dodge Charger SRT-8

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

Dom and friends steal some modern Charger cop cars and mod them. You know, all the better to haul CGI gigantic safes around. Dodge gave the production team some pre-production 2011 SRT8s to use, and they also modified some 2010s to make them look like the 11s.

1995 Ford Explorer

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

This is what Brazilian police roll in. It wouldn't seem like anything special to a U.S. audience, but this is something of an import luxury vehicle in Brazil, so it would likely not be used by actual Brazilian police. Movie magic, yo.

Ford GT 40 Replica

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

This GT 40 replica plays a key role in Fast Five, although no one ever actually drives it. Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and his crew spend a ridiculous amount of time at the beginning of the movie combing this car from top to bottom, trying to figure out what's missing from it. Thus, our heist film (which also involves some sick cars) begins.

Custom-Built Heist Truck

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

Picture car department head Dennis McCarthy's team built this monster from scratch using around $85,000 of spare parts, a lot of steel tubing, and the cab from an old Oshkosh HEMTT military truck. It's powered by a GM 502 block, and also makes use of Fox Racing coilovers. They built 10 of these for the film, and around 6 survived. Also, that jump? One of these trucks really did make that jump -- no CGI trickery was involved. Even more amazingly, it drove away in the capable hands of stunt driver Corey Eubanks after that stunt.

2000 Mazda 626

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

Brazilian police can't roll around in SUVs all the time. That's where these 626s come in handy.

1971 Nissan Skyline GTR

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

As rare as these are, it's always a significant thing when a beautiful classic Skyline shows up.

21. 2001 Porsche GT3 RS

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

In the movie, Brian (Paul Walker) drifts this slick blue GT3 RS around that parking garage. In reality, the part of the GT3 RS was played by two 911 Carreras with some graphics and CCW 18" rims.

20. 2004 VW Touareg

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

Apparently, this is what the Brazilian military in the Fast Five world drive. OK. We kind of like the 1968 International Harvester Scout that Dennis McCarthy originally intended for them to drive better. Unfortunately, the film's production designer disagreed, so instead, they drove these Touaregs.

2010 Ducati Streetfighter

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

In her first appearance in the franchise, Gisele Harabo (Gal Gadot) shows up in a highly customized Porsche Cayman. We think it's only natural that if she was a biker, she'd ride one of these.

1971 Ford Maverick

Appeared In: Fast Five (2011)

Han Lue (Sung Kang) drives this beat-up Mustang cousin. Dennis McCarthy really wanted a Maverick in the movie because they're huge in the Brazilian muscle car scene.
