1963 Corvette Grand Sport

In spite of the huge budget allocated for the production of the Fast and Furious films, discretion when it comes to vehicle acquisition is still wise. Therefore, the producers of the film turned to a company called Mongoose to create a 1963 Corvette replica. The Grand Sport replica was built on a custom fabricated tube-frame steel chassis from the fourth generation Corvette with design elements similar to the 1960’s Grand Sport.

1971 Jensen Interceptor

The producers decided to leave Letty’s Jensen finished in matte gray, with massive side pipes dumping out just forward of the rear wheels. This interceptor also comes equipped with GM “LS3″ V8 crate engines straight out of the GM Performance Parts catalog. To give you a perspective, that’s the same 6.2-liter engine that’s standard in the Chevrolet Camaro SS and rated at 430 horsepower.

2012 Lucra LC470
harianmobilterbaru.blogspot.com
The front 17-inch wheels are encased in 275/40R17 Nitto NT01 tires, while the rear set are incased in 315/35R17 Nittos coupled with PBR 13-inch disc brakes. The engine sits near the middle of the 96-inch wheelbase, well behind the front wheels. With the LS7 V8 outputting 505 hp under its hood it’s easy to see why the Lucra can obtain performance such as zero to 60 mph in only 2.5 seconds. (phew, that’s fast!)

2010 Nissan GT-R

The Stock Nissan GT-R is already stunningly beautiful. But when you add a full BenSopra body kit which comes with the dugout fenders and strakes; doors that have been replaced with Seibon Dry Carbon replicas, door sills that are carbon fiber; AMS Performance dry carbon roof and trunk panels;0 and a giant BenSopra rear wing, there is no doubt that the outcome is just pure face slapping awesomeness!

Custom built ramp car

This go-cart looking ramp car uses the same 6.2-liter LS3 V8 from the GM Performance catalog that McCarthy has installed in other vehicles for the film. Rated at 430 horsepower, this cage on wheels has more than enough juice to zoom around and leave the other cars spinning…literally spinning…in the air. As if the crazy cage design was not enough, the LS3 is mounted backward in the ramp car which sends power into a GM Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission that in turn churns a Casale V-drive gearset that’s mounted just behind the driver.

1969 Chevy “Big Red” Camaro

Here, Big Red absolutely destroyed the competition and expectations at that year’s Silver State Classic open road race. Using its 800-horsepower Chevy big-block V8 it sped through the 94-mile course in just 27 minutes and 54 seconds; an average of 197.99 mph with radar guns picking a top speed of 222 mph. The car used in the movie is the same car.

1969 Dodge Daytona

In Fast and Furious 6, Vin Diesel lays the 1970 Dodge Charger keys down, and picks up the 1969 Dodge Daytona keys. The Irony behind this car selection is that the Daytona is aerodynamically enhanced version of the Charger which was created in order to compete in super speedways the likes of Talladega and Daytona.

1970 Ford Escort RS1600

Another small car, the Ford Escort was a very common car in Europe. Introduced in 1968, the Escort was Ford’s European small car which housed a four-cylinder, overhead-valve engine of 1.1- or 1.3-liter; needless to say, not a powerful vehicle. That is until the small rugged nimble car was introduced to a 1.6-liter twincam 16-valve BDA four-cylinder engine in 1970.

1973 F-Bomb Camaro
smotra.ru
A menacing looking hot rod, the F-bomb is a 1,500-horsepower (you read that right), twin-turbocharged monster of a car. This beast is so powerful that it comes with a handy dandy rear parachute. You know, for those times when you feel like breaking the sound barrier but need some assistance to stop. Sadly, the original is not used in the movie. Instead three replicas where used all equipped with 300 horsepower GM crate V8s.

1970 Dodge Charger

The recognizable 1970 Dodge Charger was Dom’s car of choice in the early Fast and Furious movies. An irony really since this car is the only car that Dom admitted to being afraid to drive. Nevertheless it makes its way on our list due to its preeminence in the film and its overall Kick awesome retro looks. You can’t deny, this charger is in charge.
