VIN DIESEL
THE CARS
MAZDA RX-7
Fast & Fourios
1993 Mazda RX7
The Fast & The Furious
Universal, 2001.
Rotary engine, twin turbo, manual transmission, with Veilside Japanese rims, currently unavailable in the United States.
This RX7 was used in the film and driven by Vin Diesel. In the main drag sequence pitting Walker’s Eclipse against Diesel’s RX7, the interior shots of the cars were actually in stationary vehicles.
This is the stunt RX7 actually used in the external shots and driven by Vin Diesel in, among other scenes, the escape from the police following the drag race. One tip-off is that the car has roller wheels installed under the front spoiler so that when Diesel pushes it hard up into the steep incline of the parking garage, the front end sustains no damage. The interior of the car is tricked out, and sports functional and non-functional gauges and a prop nitrous set up. Acquired by George Barris and exhibited in a number of car shows.
DODGE
Fast & Fourios
There are a few catches here: 1) Your Charger won't actually pull a safe through a city while outrunning cops. 2) Though a V8 Charger is $31,000 in the US (£20k) if you imported one it'd be a lot pricier. Such is life... Still, they seem pretty easy to steal: Toretto and co. managed to bust four from a police parking lot and drag race them through downtown Rio without anyone really noticing, so you could always pinch one
LOCKHEED C-130
Fast & Fourios
Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) stayed true to his classic black Charger that appeared in the other three installments of the Fast and the Furious movies, and the Furious 7 is no different. This car was introduced to the film in its first installment; it belonged to Dom’s father. The vehicle features 4×4 tires in a few of the scenes, which is not usual for a muscle car. This 1970 Dodge Charger is one of the five cars dropped from a Lockheed C-130 Hercules plane in the Fast & Furious 7.
