Released in 2001, the film "Fast and the Furious" became a cult movie about illegal racing. Each next part of it collects huge sums at the box office around the world. In addition to the wonderful cast and an interesting driving plot, a considerable part of the attention of the audience is attracted by cars, each of which has its own from "Fast and the Furious 6", playing almost the main role in the film, a lot. Therefore, it makes sense to look first of all at those on which the main characters rode. So, let's take a closer look at the cars from Fast and Furious 6, the latest part of the franchise to date.
Letty preferred "British"
Letty's car from Fast & Furious 6 deserves special attention as it's pretty rare these days. For the movie, this 1971 British car was powered by an American "LS3" engine. Chrysler's V-shaped "eight" developed up to 480 "horses", and it was quite difficult to cope with the car. Also for filming, it was repainted in matte gray with black stripes, lost its bumpers and received a lowered suspension.
Main character
Let's look at Dominic's cars. He, except for almost the entire first part, never cheated on the muscular Dominic from "Fast and the Furious 6" - black 2011. On it, he, along with Brian, rushes along the serpentines at the very beginning of the picture. By and large, the car remained in the factory configuration, and for the film the body was only expanded, a differential lock and a powerful handbrake were installed. All these improvements were needed for a more spectacular scene of the first race.
Halfway through the film, Dominic changes to another iconic muscle car, the Dodge Charger Daytona. Toward the end, he, like many cars from Fast and Furious 6, was smashed to smithereens. To be frank, it was an ordinary Charger stylized as a Daytona. The original car is too rare and expensive to be ruthlessly destroyed on set. But the alteration work was done very well, and only a connoisseur will notice small inconsistencies, such as headlights. On the original "Dodge Charger Daytona" they are raised, and on the car in the film they are neatly "poured" into the nose.
In the plane crash scene, Dominic escapes in another Dodge, this time a Charger SRT8. It also differs from the stock model in a few small ways: matte paint and sports seats. Under the hood, a 6.4-liter V8 with a capacity of 470 horsepower remained unchanged. Unfortunately, nothing is known about the Plymouth Barracuda that appeared at the end of the film.
Spectacular armored car
The army armored car Hobbs "Navistar-Defense MXT-MV" looks rather ridiculous, not lagging behind the "BMW M5". This car can do a lot, but with its mass it is impossible to develop such speed and at the same time pass fast turns. Realism for "Fast and the Furious" is not the main thing, the main thing is entertainment. And the car turned out to match its owner: big, rough and powerful.
Cop Brian's cars
Brian is a fan of the Nissan GTR, and the filmmakers did not bypass his love for these cars. At the very beginning, he drives a silver sports car, and at the end, a blue car appears near his house in Los Angeles. A detail that catches the eye of many viewers is that in the serpentine race, Brian actively pulls the gear lever, and only a few know that it is sequential, with paddle shifts. Simply put, this is an automatic with the possibility of manual gear selection, but the switching is carried out by paddle shifters. Why the driver needed to pull the lever all the time remains a mystery. Apparently, it was more spectacular.
How the blue "GTR" rides remains a mystery, on the screen it flickers only standing still. But the characteristics of this car from "Fast and the Furious 6" are impressive, because specialists from several eminent companies have worked on it. After all the modifications, the 3.8-liter engine produces 685 horsepower, which is a lot even for such a supercar. Some body panels have been replaced with carbon fiber, even the brakes here are carbon ceramic. The body kit was created by the famous Japanese studio "BenSopra".
During the tank chase, Brian's car from Fast & Furious 6 is the legendary Ford Escort RS2000 rally car. Despite the modest volume (only 2 liters), which the baby "Escort" stands out among the muscle cars surrounding him in this scene, he is very nimble.
The filmmakers have reached the point of absurdity from a technical point of view
But the reputation of the most absurd, according to the audience, the car from "Fast and the Furious 6" was given to the "shifter" by Owen Shaw. Character dialogue about this car mentions a turbodiesel engine from a Lehman prototype, but in one of the scenes of the film, Shaw changes the spark plug on it! An annoying inconsistency, you will agree. And the car itself evokes ambiguous emotions: on the one hand, it is high-tech (powerful engine, light weight, rear thrusters), but it looks like it was assembled by pioneers at the Station of Young Technicians from scrap metal. In addition, although Shaw and Veg ride "shifters" one at a time (without passengers), each car has two extra seats.
Special effects over reality
Connoisseurs of American classics liked another muscle car - the 1969 "Anvil Mustang", driven by Roman Pierce during the tank chase. It is notable for the fact that, despite the laws of physics and common sense, it becomes an anchor for a multi-ton tank and turns it over. The strength of the machine is greatly exaggerated, but you should not think about it when watching "Fast and the Furious".
In pursuit through the streets of London, the team drives black E60s. Actually, all the cars from "Fast and the Furious 6" were stylized as "M5" for the same reason: it was too expensive to destroy as many real "emok" as were broken on the set.
Impressions after viewing the sixth part of "Fast and the Furious" remain ambiguous. On the one hand, the tricks look very implausible. But the spectacularity of the picture makes you forget about inconsistencies with the laws of physics, because millions of fans watch it not because of realism. But with the rest, this film is in perfect order: tough guys, beautiful girls, a lot of drive and a lot of great cars.

Special attention should be paid to the model of a powerful muscle car, which will be driven by Dominic Toretto, the hero of Vin Diesel.
Dodge Charger Daytona
This is a model released in 1969, but since the car itself is too expensive, the producers decided to replace it with a make-up "understudy" of a later year of release. Also actor Vin Diesel will drive Plymouth Barracuda 1970 and Dodge Challenger 2011 release.
Nissan GT-R

You can either love or dislike the popular Fast & Furious franchise, which featured a lot of amazing cars. But if this happened and, regardless of whether you liked the movie or not, you are by nature still passionate about many brands of cars, then you should definitely. If you yourself try to choose from all these hundreds of cars participating in the filming of the film, the only one that made a strong impression on you, i.e. If you liked it very much, then we believe, and even in this we are sure, that such a selection procedure will become quite difficult for many motorists, and maybe an impossible task. It's no joke, choose and select one or several of the best cars for you from several hundred cars. Rejoice, dear readers - motorists. We did it for you. We invite you to look at the top twenty that everyone could watch in the 6 episodes of the Fast and the Furious picture.
Where do you think the film crew came from? According to the creators of the film, many cars were found in car dumps. Further, all the cars were outwardly put in order, that is, they were repaired so that they could move and drive on roads, and at the same time take a direct part in car stunts. Notably, many car interiors have not received any cosmetic repairs since these cars left the junkyard.
1970 Dodge Charger
At the end of the first part of the Fast and the Furious, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) races with Brian O'Connor (), who was driving a 1970 Dodge Charger, whose power, according to the information provided, was 900 hp If you still remember , in one of the last episodes of shooting, this car is smashed. After such an accident, it would seem that the car was not subject to any restoration. But this is some kind of miracle, the same car subsequently appeared in both the 4th and 5th series of the film. Please remember such an episode where Toretto is rescued by his best friends, at the very moment when the prison bus transports the protagonist to serve a prison sentence.
Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R
At the beginning of 2003, Brian O'Connor is trying to win the race in the second part of the Fast and the Furious. During the race, presented above to get away from the police chase, it abruptly flies off the bridge into the river. But do not believe it, unless of course you yourself personally saw this car later appeared on the set of the film in the fourth series.
Mitsubishi Eclipse
Familiar to everyone from the first series of the Fast and the Furious car model. Its bright coloring, sports body kit, neon lights and power have become the hallmark of the Fast and the Furious movie. It is thanks to this film that the popularity of street racing has grown all over the world.
One of the most memorable car models in the first series was the Eclipse.
True, it is still not clear with which Mitsubishi Eclipse engine was used in this film. Most likely it was a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 210 hp.
Acura NSX
The original Acura NSX was featured in several films in this franchise film series. But most of all I remember the participation of this car in the 4th and 5th parts of the film, where Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) prances, i.e. rides black. Frankly, the role of this car in the film was very short.
Honda S2000
Honda S2000 is not the only car that many people remember, especially when it comes to drag racing. But one more thing, when it comes to fast and furious on the highway, this car seems to be the best choice for filming this episode in the movie. The hero Johnny Chan (Rick Yun) easily wins a car race, and this is due not only to his driving skills, but also due to the technical characteristics of himself.
Toyota Supra Mark IV
The Supra was one of the star cars of the very first Fast and the Furious movie, which O'Connor, in the truest sense of the word, personally saved from disappearing into a landfill. The car was brought back to life for the second time in Toretto's garage.
Mazda RX-7FD
FD is a generation of the Mazda RX-7, it practically and periodically appeared in the frames of the film in all its series. In the first film, Toretto uses this car to win a trip from O "Connor. In the second series of the film, he took part in street racing. Also in the Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, which Han (Song Kang) was driving, became one of the most memorable cars.
Recently, experts from foreign automotive publications tested an old RX-7 sports car. From their words, we can say with certainty that the same rotary engine that was installed on this model, and with it its 50/50 weight distribution, makes the car one of the best vehicles that is one hundred percent capable of participating in such street racing.
1967 Ford Mustang
In the last scene of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) races in a 1967 Ford Mustang that used to belong to his father. According to the script of the film, its heroes simply took and repaired this car, since the engine was broken in this old Ford. Since this action takes place in Japan itself, according to the scenario, a 2.6-liter Japanese engine (RB26) was naturally installed in the car, which was equipped with such a car as. To many, this may seem sacrilegious, but this is one of the only alternatives to this American engine in Japan. If you think that this car actually and in reality did not receive this Japanese engine, then you are certainly mistaken. The entire film crew, starting from the very first part of the film, is used to always doing everything only in reality and naturally.
1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
At the beginning of the Tokyo Drift episode, Boswell drives a 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Despite winning the race, where he was opposed by the first generation Dodge Viper, the hero of the film loses control of the car, thereby turning it into a solid pile of metal. It’s a pity, of course, but nothing can be done about it, the filmmakers in reality smashed this road to smithereens, i.e. Chevrolet Monte Carlo, which was equipped with a 360 hp eight-cylinder engine.
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko
One of Brian O'Connor's rivals in the film drives a 1969 Yenko Camaro. In the end, the hero of the film still managed to win this prestigious car as a prize. In the second half of the film, the same hero of the film escapes from the chase in this car from the police, The car used in the film was a replica of the original 1969 Camaro.
1987 Buick GNX
In order for, the protagonist of the film, Dominic Toretto, for some unknown reason, chooses a 1987 Buick GNX car to help him. By the way, who doesn’t know, this model was the last of those that used a turbocharged six-cylinder 3.8 liter engine 245 hp It is noteworthy that only 1000 copies of this model were produced. But according to the script of the film Fast and the Furious, not a single original model of this brand was damaged. The filming involved a car disguised as a GNX.
1970 Ford Escort RS1600 Mk 1
In the late 60s and early 70s, one of the most popular cars on the European market was the Ford Escort model, which, in addition to its standard version, was also produced in quality. These cars took part in the filming of the sixth part of the film Fast and the Furious. For example, in this part of the film series, Brian O'Connor drives an RS1600 rally car. This car was equipped with a 16-valve engine with two combustion chambers, and the engine capacity of the car, respectively, was 1.6 liters (four cylinders). The power of this car was 113 hp This amount of power seems quite small for many, but given that this car weighed less than 900 kilograms, we can immediately conclude that driving this car you can definitely get a good dose of adrenaline.
F-Bomb Chevrolet Camaro
This Camaro tuning car has 1500 hp. power. Fast and Furious director Justin Lin could not pass by this powerful car and included it in his filming. Dominic Toretto in one of the scenes of the film is driving this amazing car, he is trying to catch up with another participant in the film.
Ramp car
This car presented by us was most suitable for filming a movie, in the style of "". But the scriptwriters and creators of the Fast and the Furious film made this unusual supercar specifically so that other cars could be turned over on the road when filming. Its low ground clearance and front wedge-like shape could easily cope with the task assigned to it. The car is completely custom-made, although it resembles an open-wheel racing car. But this sports car has no analogues in the world. The car was equipped with a V8 engine and had a three-speed manual gearbox.
Corvette Grand Sport
This was unusually shown in the fifth part of the film Fast and the Furious. The Grand Sport car at the end of the scene in the film, beautifully falls off a high cliff. True, only a copy of this car participated in the filming of the crash scene itself, since there are only a few copies of this classic sports car in the world, which did not allow the creators of this film to take and smash the original car. By the way, in many scenes of the film during filming, a copy of this car repeatedly fell into the frames of the film. Notice how amazingly the replica of this expensive car was built.
Ford GT40
Another one that starred in the same film. This sports car took part in the filming of the train robbery episode (Fast and the Furious 5). The Ford GT40 model car was released in a limited edition in the 60s, to participate in the 24-hour Le Mans race. It should be noted here that this car became the winner of these prestigious competitions both in 1966 and in 1969 too.
Jensen Interceptor
In the sixth movie, Fast and Furious, Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) drives a then-rare British Jensen Interceptor. Small British sports car manufacturer Jensen Motors produced its Interceptor models from 1966 to 1976.
The car was equipped with a Chrysler V-8 engine. This car took part according to the script of the film right in London itself, where its rival was such a car as the Dodge Charger Daytona.
1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
As it came out, cars, judging by his shots, became rare and exclusive. A 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is one such example, proving that the film's team mostly looked for rare and exclusive cars to create it. But it turned out a little differently, in fact, the team members could not find this particular model of car for their filming in the film, so they had to use an exact copy of the Plymouth Superbird car. The only difference between this model and the original Dodge Charger Daytona is that it has a longer front end.
1971 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R
In the fifth part of the film Fast and the Furious, the hero Brian O'Connor buys a 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R. This is the first car to receive the legendary designation in the form of a badge on the body, such as "GT-R". .0-liter inline six-cylinder engine.In the 70s, the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R had some success in, repeatedly won many prestigious titles.The first car models were rear-wheel drive.Later, cars began to be equipped with front-wheel drive.Unfortunately, this car model in The film was only used in a few scenes.
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
Although not American cars were most often used in all episodes of the film Fast and the Furious, nevertheless, it is clearly seen from the film itself that certain subspecies were repeatedly used in it. The most expanded American cars were presented in the fourth part of the film Fast and the Furious. A striking example for everyone in this series was a car such as the 1970 Chevelle SS. This car was driven by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) in the movie and raced against a BMW M5 (E39).

Car models that participated in the movie "Fast and the Furious 6"
If we consider all the cars that were involved in the movie "Fast and the Furious 6", it's worth starting with the most iconic hero, which is Dominic Toretto. The following cars were at his disposal in this film: A 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona with a slightly tuned V8 engine from General Motors. Dominic drove it for almost the entire film, except for the beginning, where his car was a 2011 Dodge Challenger.

The next hero of the sixth part of "Fast and the Furious" is Brian O'Connor. His car at the time of filming was a 2012 Nissan GT-R that had been slightly modified.

It was these cars that drove the two most beloved heroes of Russian film fans.
Also, many other cars took part in Fast and Furious 6. For example, Letty, after much persuasion, nevertheless agreed to return to the team, received 971 Jensen Interceptor at her disposal. During the filming, as many as four of these cars were used, under the hood of which there was a powerful LS3 V8 engine.
The film also featured 9 Ford Mustangs from 1969 and 1970. In the very first chase scene, the evil BMW M5 began to participate, on which the whole team of famous heroes drove very effectively. Of course, no one has forgotten about the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8, which will pull the plane down in the film's most thrilling chase.
Even the English car 2006 Aston Martin managed to wedge into the picture.
The film also featured a car called the 1970 Ford Escort RS2000. In addition, it is worth noting that in Fast and the Furious 6, in addition to all the already very exclusive and expensive cars, even a tank was filmed!
