fast and furious cars in the world

When the viewer first sees this car in the movie Fast and Furious Five it dons a silver and black color scheme. The 370Z is a great car, explains Fast Five s Picture Car Coordinator Dennis McCarthy. It s built tough and you can bounce it off other cars all day with no problem. It has plenty of power so you don t need to do much to them mechanically. They drift great. They re not a GT R or something exotic, so the audience can still kind of relate to it. And it looks cool. This probably explains why the car was relatively left untouched as far as the mechanics is concerned but that s not necessarily a bad thing. The car already boasts of a 3.7 liter VQ37VHR V6 engine which delivers a whopping 332 horsepower. The few changes made included a locked rear differential to facilitate drifting and the fitment of Advan 20 by 8 inch front and 20 by 10 inch rear wheels inside Continental 245/35R20 front and 295/30R20 rear tires.

Some of you may be scratching your heads right now asking what in this world is this car doing on this list . Fantastic question, you see design is more than just looks; it has to deal also with performance enhancement. That is actually the case for this 87 Buick GNX. Buick did a complete overhaul on this car by fitting it with bigger brakes, a stiffer suspension and, most importantly, a turbocharged 3.8 liter V 6. This improvement made the Grand National one of the fastest cars of its era, and that s even comparing it too cars like of the Lamborghinis and Ferraris. No exaggeration folks; this car was a performing beast! The 1987 GNX contributed its speed to a larger turbo and intercooler, less restrictive exhaust and a quicker shifting automatic transmission. As far as looks go who can argue with black on black? This paint scheme makes the car look sharp, dark, and in charge.

This 400 horsepower, V8 powered E39 generation (1998 2003) M5 is a 5 Series sedan (you read me right, sedan) that seemed to naturally be a favorite amongst the producers. In order to create the stunts and high actions scenes the production team bought three old 540i sedans and four 528i models and redecorated them with orange and black paint and 19 inch wheels. Of these seven BMWs, six were destroyed including three that where dropped off a bridge.

It s hard to out muscle a mustang, and this 2007 Tjaarda Mustang complete with supercharger, side exhaust, oversize Baer brakes and a modified suspension does not make it any easier. Used in the Fast and Furious 4 as the hero car the Universal team borrowed the car from a company called HST International. Moreover, HST also supplied the production team with two Mustang GTs that were modified to look like Tjaardas but where otherwise untouched mechanically (these where used as stunt cars). For the scene in which the car is destroyed an old beat up Mustang V6 was retrofitted to look like the Tjaarda. Who says that cars can t have stunt doubles?

Suki s (Devon Aoki) 2001 Honda S2000 exudes pink glamour (those who don t like the color pink may disagree) but don t let the girly paint job fool you, this car was designed for racing. It has a 2 liter aluminum alloy DOHC F20C1 inline 4 engine with a Comptech supercharger. It also features a Paxton Novi 1000 Toucan Industries exhaust with a non functioning Ractive chrome tip. As far as exterior kits are concerned, it features a Veilside Millennium body kit, Motegi Racing 18? rims, and airbrushed artwork done by Noah of Noah fine art.

The GT R34 is another Japanese Sports car that is not available in the US due to Federal Regulations. However, this does not stop countless of people from the US wanting (and even trying) to get their hands on one of these racing maestros (and can you blame us?). The Nissan Skyline GT R34 shows up as O Conner s ride in the opening scenes of 2 Fast 2 Furious and boasts of twin turbochargers, 2.6 litre engine, and a straight 6 cylinder (RB26DETT) DOHC block which produces around 330bhp (although published figures when new were very conservative at 280bhp).

David Park s (Ron Yuan) crazy racing machine was this rare gem of a car, the 2000 Nissan Silvia S15. Director Justin Lin loved the Silvias in Tokyo Drift so much; he wanted one for the follow up movie in the Fast and Furious franchise as well. Since the S15 was never released in the U.S., the production team used a few S14 240SXs and disguised them as S15s using clever body kits. There was one genuine S15 on set which is now safely stored away.

If this car seems foreign to you, it means you did not stick around to watch the credits at the end of Fast and Furious 4 movie (shame on you). True this car wasn t in any of the chase scenes, however at the end of the movie, it s revealed that Vin Diesel heads down to Mexico and gets himself a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS to replace the Dodge Charger he lost. Nice replacement don t you agree?

The RB engine powered 1967 Mustang fastback is probably one of the most controversial cars in the Fast and Furious franchise due to its hybrid customization using Japanese parts. Nevertheless, it is still a car worthy to be noted on this list because of its specs. This Mustang boasts of the famed RB26DETT engine which was pulled from a 2001 R34 Skyline. This engine is a twin turbocharged inline six that arguably puts out 320 330 horsepower (even though it claims to only put out about 220 horsepower). The supped up mustang also boasts of a overhauled suspension system that enables the car to sustain the abuse of drifting.

Something you will immediately notice about the 2006 Nissan 350Z used by the Drift King in Fast Furious: Tokyo Drift is its lack of boisterous colors. However, what it lacks in color, it more than makes up in power with a 3.5 liter DOHC 24 valve V6 engine with an APS twin turbo system that produces around 450 horsepower.
