Every Car Han Drives In The Movies

Han (Sung Kang) emerged as a fan-favorite character in the Fast & Furious franchise, and Han’s cars have become almost as beloved as he is. Han has driven some memorable cars throughout his various appearances. Following his franchise debut in 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Han served as a recurring figure in the series that followed Dominic Toretto, Brian O’Conner, and their loyal crew. Despite being killed off in the 2006 street racing movie, he still returned in the follow-up movies because they’re technically prequels. The character even straight-up returned from the dead in F9 and has a prominent role in Fast X too.

Though Han’s time in Fast & Furious isn’t over, he has had a history of being one of the most skilled drivers in the franchise. Not only did he act as a mentor to Sean Boswell in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, but he grew into one of the most reliable members of Dom’s crew, and a lot of that had to do with his abilities behind the wheel. Despite drifting away from street racing, the movies still incorporated a slew of fast cars, and Han has driven the best of them. The list of Han’s cars in Fast & Furious is not only impressive but almost endless.

12 1997 Mazda RX-7 (The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift)

Han’s orange and black Mazda RX-7 FD served as a signature car featured in the Fast & Furious franchise. The sports car was Han’s primary car while traveling throughout Tokyo. When Takashi confronted Han about stealing from his uncle, the latter fled and a car chase ensued. While escaping, Han’s Mazda was T-boned, and the character was presumably killed when the vehicle exploded. Seeing as the event took place after Fast & Furious 6, the car was seen again in the movie’s post-credits scene as well as archive footage in Furious 7.

11 2001 Nissan Silvia S-15 Spec-S (The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift)

Aside from the Mazda, Han’s other prized car in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift was a blue Nissan Silvia S-15 with an orange wraparound stripe. Twinkie nicknamed the car “Mona Lisa” due to its importance to Han and the drifting community. Despite how much Han cared for the Nissan, he allowed newcomer Sean to use it during his first race against the Drift King. Sean quickly destroyed the car after crashing into the garage’s walls. Ahead of Sean’s final big race at the end of the movie, Han’s team used parts from the Nissan to repair Sean’s Ford Mustang Fastback.

10 1967 Chevrolet C-10 (Fast & Furious)

Han ditched sports cars during Fast & Furious, and instead, he drove a custom orange Chevrolet C-Series pickup truck, the first outlier of Han’s cars. The events of the 2009 film were set up in the Fast & Furious short movie Los Bandoleros, which explained how Han joined Dom’s crew. Before leaving for Tokyo, Han helped Dom and the team in hijacking fuel tankers in the Dominican Republic. Using the truck, Han was able to hitch the tanker to his vehicle. It was unknown what happened to the Chevy following the mission, but it was auctioned on eBay where it sold for $32,500 (via The Drive).

9 1971 Ford Maverick (Fast Five)

Fast Five followed Dom, Brian, and the crew planning a heist to steal $100 million from a corrupt Brazilian businessman. When Han arrived in Rio de Janeiro to join the mission, he was shown driving an old rusty Ford Maverick muscle car. The car was presumably purchased so Han could drive around without attracting suspicion. He also used it to trail some of Hernan Reyes’ men before the vehicle was seemingly abandoned.

8 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Sedan (Fast Five)

While planning the heist in Fast Five, the crew was worried about avoiding the police security cameras outside of the Rio Police Station. Dom and Brian then acquired a bunch of cars from local street races that could potentially be fast enough to beat the cameras’ movements around hairpin turns. The vehicle isn’t technically one of Han’s cars, but the group, including Han, practiced avoiding cameras while using the 2011 silver Subaru Impreza. After Tego Leo crashed it, the vehicle was never seen again.

7 Dodge Charger Police Cruiser (Fast Five)

When the group failed to find cars that could potentially avoid security cameras in Fast Five, Han decided that they needed “invisible” cars. To pull off the heist, the group broke into the police station and stole four Dodge Charger Police Cruisers in Fast Five. Dom, Brian, Roman, and Han drove the marked cars back to their hideout after facing off in a quick street race. The police cars helped the team successfully pull off the heist later in the film.

6 2011 Lexus LFA (Fast Five)

Han and Gisele head to Berlin at the end of Fast Five

Han’s black Lexus LFA only made a brief appearance in Fast Five, but it was a memorable car. After the group pulled off the vault heist, they each got a hefty share of the earnings. The movie revealed what each character did with their money, including, Han, who bought a new sports car. Adding to Han’s cars, accompanied by Gisele Yashar who returned in Fast X, Han drove toward Berlin on a German highway with the Lexus. Despite being Han’s new prized possession, the car was never seen in the franchise again.

5 2010 BMW M5 E60 (Fast & Furious 6)

Han and others were summoned to London at the start of Fast & Furious 6 to take down Owen Shaw in exchange for an expunged record. To get a leg up on Shaw and his team, Dom’s group was given a fleet of BMW M5s. The BMW that Han drove eventually got destroyed by Shaw’s group while driving around London. Dom’s vehicle was the only one not to get totaled during the sequence.

4 2013 Harley Davidson XR 1200 X (Fast & Furious 6)

Han and Gisele lean on their motorbikes in Fast & Furious 6

For the first time in the franchise, Han picked a Harley Davidson over a car. When Shaw’s crew attempted to assault a military convoy, Dom and his team tried to interfere with the mission. Han used the motorcycle to race down the stretch of highway before he jumped onto a Land Rover driven by Shaw’s team. Since the character ditched the bike, it was presumably destroyed.

3 2012 Dodge Charger SRT-8 (Fast & Furious 6)

Two matte grey Dodge Chargers were used in the climactic sequence that took place toward the end of Fast & Furious 6. While one was driven by Dom, the other featured Han behind the wheel. As the group tried to stop Shaw’s cargo plane from taking off, Han chased it along the runway. Gisele used the harpoon equipped on the car to help weigh the plane down. After Gisele sacrificed herself in Fast & Furious 6 to allow Han to finish his part of the mission, the character was able to safely avoid the exploding plane. Though shocked by Gisele’s presumed death, Han’s car was still in working condition.

2 2020 Toyota Supra (F9)

One of the biggest surprises stemming from F9 was Han’s return. Not only is he back from the dead, but he rejoined Dom’s crew with a beautiful new ride. Han’s new signature car is a 2020 Toyota Supra that has an orange and black paint job that’s similar to his beloved Mazda RX-7. The car has a magnet fitted to it which is used by Han and Jakob, Dom’s brother, to topple a giant armored vehicle, and it was presumably built by Sean and Earl, Han’s allies from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift who now reside in Germany.

1 1971 Alfa Romeo 2000GT (Fast X)

Han's red and black 1971 Alfa Romeo in Fast X

As Han is now completely back in the thick of it in the Fast & Furious franchise with Dom and his crew, the character takes part in the action in Fast X with a vehicle that is different from any other of Han’s cars. Racing through and seemingly destroying most of Italy, Han drives a 1971 Alfa Romeo 2000GT. It’s a classy-looking car and typically has the same colors as his iconic Mazda RX-7 from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, only it has two black stripes instead of a full block of black paint.

Fast & Furious 11 Release Delay & Filming Start Date Confirmed By Director

Summary

Fast and Furious 11
is facing a release date delay to Summer 2026 due to strikes, with director Louis Leterrier confirming the sequel will not be hitting its April 4, 2025 date.
Leterrier also confirms that filming starts in Fall 2025 after finishing a horror movie in September.
The final installment in the
Fast Saga
reunites Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto for one last ride, while also leaving the door open for other spinoffs.

After facing multiple delays due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes, Fast and Furious 11 is seeing its release date delayed. The next installment in the Vin Diesel-fronted franchise is expected to be the last mainline sequel, while development continues on the Dwayne Johnson-led spinoff Hobbs & Reyes, a mysterious standalone movie penned by Fast X’s Zach Dean and a potential female-led spinoff. While a filming start date was never confirmed, Universal had previously set the movie for an April 2025 release date.

During a recent interview with Collider at a CCXP MX panel, Louis Leterrier was asked for an update on Fast and Furious 11. The director went on to confirm that the final mainline installment in the action franchise will no longer be making its April 4, 2025 release date, instead now aiming for a Summer 2026 release window with the filming start date being set for this fall. Check out what Leterrier said below:

It’s happening. It’s happening very, very soon. I’m able to shoot a little horror movie this summer. I’m finishing my horror movie on September 15th, and I start Fast on September 16th.

Will Fast 11’s Multiple Delays Help Or Hurt The Sequel?

Much like the tenth film before it, Fast and Furious 11 has faced a few behind-the-scenes hardships in its road to getting off the ground, namely the delays stemming from the 2023 strikes. While the latest movie seems to have retained its core creative team in comparison to the shift in directors from franchise vet Justin Lin to Leterrier on Fast X after reported creative differences between the former and Diesel, this change didn’t seem to help much with the continued downward trend recent sequels have seen from critics. Check out how the franchise’s Rotten Tomatoes scores compare below:

Title RT Critical Score RT Audience Score The Fast and the Furious 54% 74% 2 Fast 2 Furious 37% 50% The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift 37% 69% Fast & Furious 28% 67% Fast Five 78% 83% Fast & Furious 6 71% 84% Furious 7 81% 82% The Fate of the Furious 67% 72% Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw 67% 88% F9: The Fast Saga 59% 82% Fast X 56% 84%

Even looking outside the Fast and Furious franchise, many movie sequels have found themselves hurt by various delays, be they from creative changes, general release shifts or other factors. The action genre in particular is one in which lengthier development periods can lead to diminishing returns, be it A Good Day to Die Hard, Rambo: Last Blood or Diesel’s own xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. While Fast and Furious 11 may only be getting pushed back by a year, the delay is nonetheless a concern that the final installment could find itself in trouble.

On the other hand, the longer wait for Fast and Furious 11 to close out the mainline series of movies could actually prove beneficial for the sequel. Though Leterrier may be busy with another project in the lead-up to filming the next installment, writers Oren Uziel and Christina Hodson should now have more than enough time to really look back at the script and ensure it learns from the critical missteps of recent installments to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the Dominic Toretto saga.

Vin Diesel Already Has His Perfect Fast & Furious Replacement Franchise With 51-Year-Old Remake

Summary

Vin Diesel’s dominance in Fast & Furious is ending, but Kojak could kick off a new action franchise for him.
Kojak’s reboot faces an uncertain future, but its similarity to Fast & Furious makes it a worthy project for Diesel.
Diesel’s potential shift from criminal racer to cop signifies a fresh start in a possible Fast & Furious-like series.

Vin Diesel’s days of playing Dominic Toretto are numbered, but the actor has already found his perfect Fast & Furious replacement. Diesel found a major breakout role in the early 2000s thanks to participating in The Fast and the Furious. The original 2001 street racing crime movie became the springboard for a sprawling franchise that has lasted for over two decades. The success of the Fast & Furious movies transformed Vin Diesel’s career, turning him into an even bigger star, especially in the action movie genre. But, Fast & Furious 11 is planned as the final chapter for him and the franchise.

The Fast & Furious franchise’s end will put Vin Diesel in an unfamiliar position of not having a major franchise to lean back on. This presents the actor with various options, such as changing the course of his career to pursue non-franchise roles. However, the more likely outcome is that Diesel will attempt to find a new IP that can replace Fast & Furious. He has had trouble in that regard recently, with franchises like xXx or Riddick running cold and Bloodshot and The Last Witch Hunter failing to launch franchises. There is another option for Diesel, though.

Kojak Can Be Vin Diesel’s New Action Crime Franchise After Fast & Furious
Diesel Has Been Developing The Reboot Since 2015

The impending conclusion of the Fast & Furious franchise means it is finally time for Vin Diesel’s Kojak reboot to get off the ground. The project was announced back in 2015 with Diesel re-teaming with Universal Pictures, the studio behind Fast & Furious, to develop a movie based on Kojak. The original TV series starred Telly Savalas as Theo Kokaj and ran for three seasons after debuting in 1973. The series revolves around Kojak, a New York detective known for being willing to go beyond the law and a love for cars and lollipops, and follows him as he investigates different cases.

Kojak was rebooted in 2005 as a TV show starring Ving Rhames, but it only ran for six episodes

Development on Vin Diesel’s Kojak movie has not been very active in the nine years since it was announced. However, it still maintains the base similarities to Fast & Furious, which makes the project a worthwhile endeavor for Diesel in terms of finding a new action franchise. He would now have another big action series about cars and crime, essentially making Kojak into a newer version of Fast & Furious. The irony here is that Diesel takes on the role of a cop after playing criminal racer Dominic Toretto.

Vin Diesel’s Involvement Can Morph Kojak Into A Major Action Franchise
Kojak Could Be A Fast & Furious Clone

Looking at the original TV show, Kojak might not necessarily project to be a major blockbuster action franchise akin to Fast & Furious. The TV series was relatively grounded and small due to the nature of its production. However, the fact that Diesel and Universal pinpointed this property as something they wanted to revive together is telling. The announcement of Kojak’s reboot came months after Furious 7 debuted in theaters and took the franchise to new heights at the box office and in terms of how ridiculously big the action and story could get.

It’s sometimes difficult to remember that Fast & Furious started off with a story about DVD thieves who were also street racers before Diesel helped turn it into something much bigger. With that experience and success already behind him, it would be understandable if a similar path was envisioned for Kojak. The series could then morph into a Fast & Furious clone, one that gives Vin Diesel a new franchise to headline and Universal a “fresh” action franchise to grow.

The Rock’s WWE Run Means Fast & Furious 11 Must Make 1 Major Hobbs Change

Summary

Hobbs from Fast & Furious 11 needs a gritty edge like The Rock’s WWE character to keep the franchise fresh and exciting.
The Rock’s time away from the Fast & Furious universe provides the perfect reason for Hobbs to return with a personal vendetta and a more savage attitude.
While Hobbs shouldn’t become a full-fledged villain in Fast & Furious 11, adding some edginess and dirty tricks could make his character more intriguing and dynamic.

Fast & Furious 11 must make one major Hobbs change after The Rock’s incredible WWE run. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s WWE return surpassed his recent movies, with the actor creating some of the best work of his career. Having returned to a thunderous reception, The Rock was able to flip the crowd’s reception by becoming a heel and playing a major part in WrestleMania’s main events. The Rock hasn’t played a villain on screen for years, as even his depiction of Black Adam lent more into the character’s anti-hero side, which made his wrestling run all the more refreshing.

While his wrestling character may not perfectly translate into the Fast & Furious universe, there is one aspect of The Rock’s WWE run that the franchise should attempt to implement. After debuting in Fast Five, The Rock’s best Fast & Furious scenes helped contribute to the movie series becoming so popular, with Luke Hobbs becoming an instrumental part of the story. He was even given his own spinoff alongside Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) and is set to get a solo movie in the future. Despite this, Hobbs would still benefit from adding one key aspect of The Rock’s WWE run.

The Rock’s WWE Run Proves Fast & Furious 11 Needs To Give Hobbs More Of An Edge
Fast & Furious Would Benefit From Hobbs Adopting Some Of The Rock’s WWE Tendancies

Given how electrifying The Rock’s recent WWE run was, there is no doubt Fast & Furious 11 needs to give Hobbs more of an edge. Although the character has had his more serious moments, like most of the Fast & Furious cast, Hobbs tends to mix action with comedy. Hobbs and Shaw are supposed to be two of the more stoic heroes, yet they are constantly at each other’s throats and cracking jokes to help maintain the franchise’s lighthearted core. However, giving Hobbs a grittier side would help the character thrive upon his return.

The Rock’s Fast & Furious return may redeem Fast X’s box office, but the character needs to come back stronger than ever. By allowing him to be more ruthless, he can still maintain some elements of comedy but also become more interesting in the process. Johnson proved that despite being a detestable heel, he was still as hilarious as ever during his recent WWE tenure. This proves that he can maintain Fast & Furious’ tone and humorous style while being more layered; therefore, Hobbs adopting some of The Rock’s WWE characteristics could make him even more entertaining.

Fast & Furious Already Has A Reason For Hobbs To Be More Savage
Hobbs Has Been Away From The Franchise For Several Years

Making a major change to Hobbs’ character could be tough to explain, but Fast & Furious 11 already has a great reason to make him more savage. His four-year absence from the franchise gives him a perfect excuse to come back with a vengeance and potentially have a personal attachment to Fast & Furious 11’s villains. Hobbs’ time away from the main story could be explained through a connection to Fast X’s secondary villain, Aimes. Aimes’ villain twist in Fast X was well executed and suggests he’ll be around for the sequel, which is the perfect reason to bring back Hobbs.

Having a more personal story with one of the villains could allow Hobbs to continue his great quips and one-liners, but it would also give him more of an edge.

Fast X never explained why he’s back, but having a personal vendetta against Aimes could be an intriguing reason. Given Dom and Dante are the focal point of the franchise’s conclusion, Hobbs returning to take down Aimes would avoid overshadowing the main story while still giving him an interesting role. Having a personal story with one of the villains could allow Hobbs to continue his great quips and one-liners, while also giving him more of an edge. This provides The Rock with the perfect reason to implement some of his heel traits while still portraying a morally good hero.

Why Fast & Furious Can’t Bring The Rock Back As A Villain
Hobbs Already Appeared As An Antagonist In Fast Five

Although The Rock’s villainous tendencies worked well in the WWE, Fast & Furious can’t bring him back as an antagonist. Johnson already played the main villain of Fast Five, as Hobbs was originally an enemy of Dom and his crew before becoming an ally. Hobbs’ role in Fast Five was one of his best, but despite being the main antagonist, he always had a level of integrity. Dropping all of this to make him a villain in the final movie would be completely unnecessary, especially as the franchise needs him to remain a hero for his spinoff.

Fast & Furious 11 may end the main story, but The Rock will be part of the franchise beyond this, and altering his character so drastically wouldn’t make any sense. Instead, adding some extra edge to his character would have the same effect and would avoid stealing the thunder from Dante and Aimes. Although Fast & Furious 11 shouldn’t make him a villain, the film can still allow Hobbs to play dirty and pull some cheap tricks in order to show a grittier side, while letting him taunt his enemies when he inevitably helps save the day.

Fast & Furious 11
is scheduled to be released in theaters on April 4, 2025.
