Best Cars in the Fast and Furious Series

Tweet

If you're talking about movies about cars, Fast and Furious will definitely be the movie that first comes to your mind. I can't blame you as this series (now in it's 7th installment), has shown, used and at times destroyed (yeah lots of car explosions in the movie haha) the most iconic and amazing super and classic cars the Earth World has to offer.. As Fast and Furious 7 is nearing it's movie debut, let's reminisce a little bit and check out some of the best cars used in the series:

1. 1970 Dodge Charger


The 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is primarily used by Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel) in the Fast and Furious Series. This is the main car that he uses in the series and used to belong to his father and has been built, destroyed, and then rebuilt again. This has appeared in the early Fast and Furious films and has appeared as a classic and newer version in FF5. 

The car is famed for its incredible power at 900hp and holding a record 1/4 mile time at just nine seconds flat, set by Dom's father who passed away during a Stock Car race.

2. 1973 F-bomb Camaro

The 1973 F-bomb Camaro was used by one of Arturo Braga's (the main antagonist in Fast & Furious) henchmen. This is a 1,500-horsepower, twin-turbocharged engine and definitely a monster of a car. This beast is so powerful that it comes with a rear parachute. This comes in handy if you feel like you're about to fly and need some assistance to stop. Unfortunately, the original is not used in the movie instead three replicas where used all equipped with 300 horsepower GM crate V8s.

3. 1969 Dodge Daytona

1969 Dodge Daytona

The 1969 Dodge Daytona that Dominic Toretto or Dom used to replace his 1970 Dodge Charger. This car was owned by Tej Parker (which is the technical expert on the movie. Pic here!). This is an enhanced version of the 1970 Dodge Charger which was created to keep up with the race environment of super speedways like Talladega and Daytona. Dom drives it during the street race with Letty (Dom's partner/lover/nemesis in the movie, pic of Letty here!).

4. 1963 Corvette Grand Sport

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.  The car also has a GS frame designed by Altair engineering and a suspension from 88-96MY Corvettes with fully adjustable front and rear coil over shocks. The car was used in Fast Five and was on a train that Dom drove off to save Brian O'Connor (a cop played by the late Paul Walker). The care fell into the water during the escape attempt and was not sure if it survived.

5. 1971 Jensen Interceptor

This 1971 Jensen Interceptor is really a masculine car and doesn't have anything sweet about it.  Ironically (or not too much), this is driven and owned by the lead female character Letty in Fast 6. This matte-finished bare bone designed car looks rough and ready to take any beating.

6. 2012 Lucra LC470

7. 2007 Tjaarda Mustang

Mustang's are the definition of muscular cars and this 2007 Tjaarda Mustang is not an exception. This is the 'hero' car used in Fast and Furious 4 movie and was borrowed by the Universal team from HST International together with another Mustang V6. This Mustang V6 was modified to look exactly as Mustang Tjaarda and was used as it's double when it was destroyed. We not only have stunt men! We also have stunt cars! 

8. 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS was shown as being bought by Dom after the credits of Fast and Furious 4 as a replacement for the Dodge Charger he lost.

9.  1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R34

That's it for the list of the best Super Cars in the Fast and Furious Series (From 1 to 6). I'm sure we all can't wait for FF7's set of amazing super cars!

Reminder: Don't watch Fast and Furious and drive as no one drives slowly after watching any Fast and Furious Movies! So drive carefully and slowly!
