Whether you like them or not, the Fast and the Furious movies make up to their promise of having lots of automobiles and outrageous action. Even though the stories hardly make sense, each movie appears to top the past one in terms of feats of physical incredulity. It's difficult to choose the best of the bunch from the hundreds of cars that have been showcased over the years. Here are our top 20 preferred Fast and Furious vehicles from all nine films, though.
1. Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)
2. 1970 Dodge Charger
3. 1994 Toyota Supra
4. 1971 Nissan Skyline GT-R
5. 1967 Ford Mustang With (RB26 Swap)
6. 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse
7. 1997 Mazda RX-7
8. 2001 Honda S2000
9. 1968 Dodge Charger
10. 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
1. Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)
At the start of the 2003 film 2 Fast 2 Furious, Brian O'Conner is driving a Nissan Skyline GT-R from the R34 generation. He participates in a four-way street race in which he jumps an overpass in an all-wheel-drive super coupe before being car-tasered by the police. The R34 makes a cameo appearance in the fourth film, though it's not clear if O'Conner gave it a "Gallo 12" or "Gallo 24" engine this time.
2. 1970 Dodge Charger
The 1970 Dodge Charger Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) races against Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) at the conclusion of The Fast and the Furious is claimed to have 900 horsepower. The Charger strikes a vehicle and flips through the air after narrowly avoiding being struck by a freight train. The Dodge muscle vehicle makes a comeback in the fourth and fifth movies, and at one point it's even utilized to free Toretto from a jail transport bus, despite it appearing as though its racing days are finished.
3. 1994 Toyota Supra
Probably the most recognizable vehicle from the Fast and Furious movie series is this orange 1994 Toyota Supra. The Fast and the Furious's vintage Supra that O'Conner saved from a junkyard and brought back to life in Toretto's garage Strangely, O'Conner's find and the sight of the vehicle's factory-installed 2JZ engine impress Toretto's team. However, this vehicle does result in one of the franchise's more memorable quotes: "After you invest at least $15,000 in it, everything will be destroyed. if necessary, parts shipped overnight from Japan." O'Conner and Toretto race and defeat a Ferrari F355 Spider on the vehicle's first outing, despite being advised that it is "more than [they] can afford, pal."
4. 1971 Nissan Skyline GT-R
In Fast Five, Brian O'Conner purchases a 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R, the very first automobile to bear the legendary GT-R badge. The 2.0-liter, twin-cam KPGC10 GT-R was an inline-six that saw success in racing throughout the early 1970s. The original GT-R was rear-drive rather than all-wheel drive, unlike later versions of Godzilla. Even if the car is only seen in a few instances, it is nonetheless a pleasant sight.
5. 1967 Ford Mustang With (RB26 Swap)
In the closing moments of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) is shown driving a 1967 Ford Mustang that was formerly owned by his father. The wrinkle is that this pony needs a new engine, and given that the movie is set in Japan, the 2.6-liter "RB26" inline-six from a Nissan Skyline GT-R is the obvious option. Forget for a moment how much fabrication would be necessary for such a swap, and accept that the Nissan engine is the sole option for the Mustang's new heart. No matter if you call it car pornography or blasphemy, this Mustang is definitely built differently.
6. 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse
The Fast and the Furious' neon-green Mitsubishi Eclipse hasn't held up well over time, it must be said. Its garish artwork, extravagant body package, and neon underbody lights notwithstanding, the vehicle is nonetheless among the most recognizable in the series. Although it's never made explicit which Eclipse model is featured in the movie, we like to believe that this tiny two-door is a GSX variant, meaning it came equipped with an all-wheel-drive system and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine with 210 horsepower.
7. 1997 Mazda RX-7
Generation FD Throughout the Fast movie franchise, the Mazda RX-7 makes multiple appearances. In The Fast and the Furious, Torretto continues to drive. In 2 Fast 2 Furious, another FD makes an appearance. But the VeilSide FD RX-7 driven by Han (Sung Kang) in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is the vehicle that truly captures our hearts.
8. 2001 Honda S2000
For road racing, autocrossing, drag racing, drifting, and everything in between, fans have customized the Honda S2000. In The Fast and the Furious, Rick Yune's character Johnny Tran drives a high-revving Honda roadster that he boasts has a "hundred-grand under the hood." Suki (Devon Aoki) leaps her hot pink S2000 off a drawbridge in 2 Fast 2 Furious and barely sustains minor cosmetic damage.
9. 1968 Dodge Charger
In F9, Toretto will once again take the wheel of a vintage Dodge Charger, but this time he's taking control of a particularly insane version of the well-known Mopar muscle vehicle with a mid-mounted supercharged V-8 engine. Dennis McCarthy of SpeedKore was in charge of the project, and the construction is thought to be worth more than $1,000,000. McCarthy also created a few stunt copies of the vehicle, but these vehicles use GM LS3 crate engines in place of the Hellcat engine from the hero vehicle.
10. 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Car enthusiasts were already familiar with Brian Hobaugh's brilliant red 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, but the second-generation Chevy sports car's appearance in The Fate of the Furious propelled it to stardom. This 1965 Corvette, like many other vehicles in the Fast series, was represented by several clones that were used to record various feats.
