Top 10 Cars, Ranked By Cost

It can be argued that the Fast & Furious franchise is a multi-year car commercial or a long-running car show with larger, action-packed episodes. Except, no one explains the car types, cost, and functionalities. Petrolheads who would like to know the details can always check out shows like Top Gear or The Grand Tour.

RELATED: The Fast & The Furious 10 Actors You Forgot Were In The Hit Franchise
More than 500 different models of cars have been used in the franchise so far. Out of those, 140 have been driven or owned by credited characters. Given how expensive some of the cars are, it can be assumed that Dom and his crew are quite wealthy. After all, they’ve conducted plenty of high-stakes heists.

2005 Aston Martin DB9 – $175,000

Deckard Shaw confronts Dom

Aston Martins are more common in the Bond franchise than in any other franchise. Only two have made an appearance in the Fast & Furious franchise. One of them is the DB9. It’s driven by Deckard Shaw in Furious 7.
After Dom takes his 1970 Dodge Charger R/T from the garage, he heads to downtown LA to confront Shaw who has just arrived in the DB9. For some strange reason, the two decide to ram into each other’s cars, thus destroying them both in the process. That’s over $300,000 gone. Miraculously, none of them gets injured after the impact.

1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro – $300,000

Yanko Camarro in 2 Fast 2 Furious

The 1969 Yenko Camaro is first driven by Korpi (one of the drivers seeking to be hired by drug lord Carter Verone) in 2 Fast 2 Furious.  Verone tests the drivers by having them speed to a safehouse to retrieve a package. Korpi loses.
Later, Roman and Brian challenge Korpi and another driver to a race. Whoever wins takes all the cars. Roman loses but Brian wins. He gladly takes the Yenko Camaro. When Brian and Roman go to retrieve Verone’s cash, later on, Brian drives the car. In one of the franchise’s most iconic scenes, he does a speed jump with it over the water before crashing into Verone’s boat.

2019 McLaren 720s – $315, 000

Shaw driving the McLaren

The McLaren 720s appears in Hobbs & Shaw. It’s driven by Deckard Shaw during a chase scene on the streets of Edinburgh. At one point, Deckard, his sister Hattie and his buddy Hobbs all manage to squeeze themselves in the car. How exactly they manage to do that in a two-seater is a mystery.

Despite the combined weight of the muscled passengers, the car moves pretty fast. The car has a top speed of 212 mph so it’s understandable why it was chosen. It’s important to note that this is the first time a McLaren of any kind is used in the franchise.

2011 Lexus LFA – $ 375,000

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

In the closing stages of Fast Five, everyone is living their best life, thanks to the millions they made in Rio. Han is shown speeding towards a city in his brand new Lexus LFA as Gisele sits on his lap. As if that’s not interesting enough, the two lovebirds are seen kissing too.
Kissing while driving? Quite a dangerous, but not one can lecture Dom and his crew on what to do on the road. They are the best at it. Gisele asks Han where they are going and he says Madrid. She reminds him that he had planned to go to Tokyo and Han says there’ll go there eventually. For now, it’s time to have fun.

1965 Ford GT40 – $500,000

Dom inspects the Ford GT40 in Fast Five

The GT40 is among the several cars belonging to Rio kingpin Hernan Reyes that has been seized by the DEA in Fast Five. Zizi wants the car but Don orders Mia to drive it. This causes Zizi’s men to clash with Dom and Brian.
Dom and Brian soon discover that there is a computer chip in the GT40 with information about the locations of ten Reyes safe houses stacked with $10 million each. Dom and Brian thus form a team to steal the $100 million belonging to the drug lord.

Eagle Speedster – $1,500,000

Tej buys the Eagle Speedster

The black Eagle Speedster is bought by Tej Parker in Furious 6. Dom asks Tej and Hobbs to get new cars after the BMW M5s fail, so they head to a car auction. The punter isn’t too happy with how they are dressed. He assumes that they are broke and suggests they leave to create space for wealthier customers.

Tej surprises him by purchases all cars present. One of them is the Eagle Speedster. They are then delivered to a safe house owned by the crew. After the cars are delivered, Tej and Hobbs humiliate the punter by making him undress and leave his clothes with them. Unfortunately, the Speedster is never driven in the film.

2011 Bugatti Veyron – $1,900,000

Roman drives the Bugatti Veyron

When Dom and his family land in Abu Dhabi, they acquire five supercars. Roman, who always has taste, picks a 2011 Bugatti Veyron. The car is first spotted after the crew races through the Abu Dhabi desert.
Sadly, it doesn’t make another appearance in the film. It’s a mystery what Roman did to it. Perhaps he still has it. Maybe it’ll appear in one of the next installments, though one wouldn’t bet on that. The franchise rarely recycles the same cars.

Ferrari FXX – $2,600,000

Tej Parker's Ferrari FXX

The car is briefly seen at Tej’s Costa Rica base in the early stages of Furious 6. Several people are seen admiring it and for good reason. The car is extremely rare. It’s neither road-legal nor race-legal. It can only be driven on test tracks.
According to a report by Top Gear, only 40 such cars exist in the world. Anyone who purchases is required to have their own private track. They must also promise to drive it, not just keep it on display. Most of the FXX’s remain unpurchased.

2010 Koenigsegg CCX-R – $3,000,000

Roman steps out of his Koenigsegg CCX-R in Fast Five

After Dom and his crew rip off Hernan Reyes, Roman Pierce passes by Tej’s garage in the final stages of the film. He has just bought a Koenigsegg CCXR with his cut of the heist. Apparently, there are only two such cars in the Western Hemisphere and Roman is glad to have one.

Seconds later, Tej reveals that he has bought one too. Roman is disappointed at first but then he welcomes the idea of Tej having the same taste as him. “We can shine together,” he says

2013 Lykan Hypersport – $3,400,000

Dom and Brian look at the Lykan Hypersport in Furious 7

Given how expensive this car is, it’s no surprise that only an Abu Dhabi prince could afford it. The car makes an appearance in Furious 7. Dom and his crew get special invites to a party at the Etihad Towers in order to retrieve a chip containing the God’s Eye program from the car.
Removing the chip takes longer than expected, so Dom drives it through the building while Brian attempts to pull the chip from under the seats. The car plows through the windows of three different buildings but Dom is unable to stop it due to faulty breaks. He and Brian thus jump out before the car drops thousands of feet to the ground below. What a waste!

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.

Related Vin Diesel May Have Spoiled Fast & Furious 11’s Ending With $2.7 Billion Movie Comparison Dom’s death happening in Fast & Furious 11 may have been spoiled already, with Vin Diesel comparing the upcoming movie to another big franchise.

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.

2:34 Image 147 Related Predicting The Ending Of All 13 Fast & Furious Characters In Fast 11 The Fast Saga is set to conclude with Fast & Furious 11 – or Fast X 2 – but how will Dom Toretto and his family’s stories come to a definitive end?

Why Fast & Furious Can’t Bring The Rock Back As A Villain
Hobbs Already Appeared As An Antagonist In Fast Five
A custom image featuring Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs in the Fast and Furious movies Custom image by Debanjana Chowdhury

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.
