12 Best Cars In Fast & Furious Movies, Ranked
Summary
The Fast and Furious franchise has featured a wide variety of iconic cars that have become symbols of its appeal and have told unique stories through high-speed chases and unforgettable stunts.
The most memorable cars in the franchise are determined by factors such as specs, cultural impact, and unforgettable moments, showcasing the depth of car culture, street racing, and impressive action-packed sequences.
From the Hulk green 2005 Volkswagen Touran to Dom’s 1970 Dodge Charger R/T and Brian’s 1994 Toyota Supra MK IV, each car in the franchise holds its own charm and significance, captivating audiences with their unique designs, performances, and associations with beloved characters.
The Fast and Furious movie franchise is mainly known for its iconic showcase of cars, and a ranking can determine which one is the most iconic. From Dom’s classic Charger to Brian’s Supra, these beautiful machines have become more than just modes of transportation; they’re symbols of the series’ everlasting appeal. Every car featured has told a unique story, from the high-speed chases to the unforgettable stunts.
Since 2001, the Fast and Furious movie franchise has graced audiences with an abundance of scene-stealing, action-packed chases involving some of the world’s most interesting and impressive automobiles. From classic hot rods to military tanks, fans have been able to get deeper looking into car culture, street racing, and impressive action-packed sequences. Taking into account their specs, cultural impact, and unforgettable moments, these will determine the most memorable car deserving of the top spot.
12 2005 Volkswagen Touran (Twinkie) – The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Twinkie (played by Bow Wow) describes this car as “one of a kind,” and that it is. Sporting a Hulk green paint job, along with giant fists punching out of the sides, this van left a major impression. While some may not consider this to be one of the best of the franchise, its elaborate detail and decor alone deserve a mention. Even though the 2005 Volkswagen Touran only made one appearance in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and didn’t actually drift, its unique charm certainly “packed a punch” with audiences, making it worthy of this list.
11 1987 Buick Grand National (Dominic Toretto) – Fast and Furious
Dominic (played by Vin Diesel) drives this car while hijacking fuel tanks in the Dominican Republic. In the memorable opening scene, Dom drives this classic car in reverse at full speed, all while fuel tanks explode into flames. In order to keep up with the wild stunts The Fast and the Furious franchise is known for, the production team needed to build 8 of these cars to help facilitate all the stunts. With a 3.8-liter turbo V6 Engine, a turbonetics intercooler, and T/A performance cylinder heads, it’s undeniable that this classic car is unforgettable.
10 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 (Roman Pierce) – The Fate of the Furious
Roman Pearce’s cars since his franchise debut have all been quite impressive. However, this orange beauty makes its appearance in the eighth installment of The Fast and the Furious. Driven by Tyrese Gibson’s character, this sleek and assertive model holds icon status by simply embodying the essence of the franchise. With its scissor-style doors and striking physique, this luxury car exudes style. When mentioning the LP640, its performance stands out just as much as its appearance. With a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 640 horsepower (hence the name LP640) and an acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, this level of power and speed makes it a standout choice for high-speed chases in the movies. Even though it met its fate at the bottom of the Arctic, its memory lives on in hearts everywhere.
9 2014 W Motors Lykan Hypersport (Dominic Toretto) – Furious 7
With its rare production and diamond-encrusted headlights, this car undoubtedly deserves icon status. Hailed as one of the most expensive cars in the world, costing $3.4 million, the Lykan Hypersport has become a symbol of status and extravagance. It is also one of the fastest cars in the Fast and Furious franchise with a 3.7-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine that produces 780 horsepower, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 2.8 seconds. Viewers were able to witness its speed and agility when Dom drove it through not one, not two, but three skyscrapers in Abu Dhabi. That alone qualifies this rare gem as one of the best.
8 The Flip Car (Owen Shaw and Vegh) – Fast and Furious 6
It would be a disservice to not include the Flip Car when talking about the best of the franchise. By the time the sixth installment of the Fast and Furious premiered, the franchise had moved away from being about street racing and car culture to more traditional, blockbuster action films. However, with a bigger budget comes more interesting cars and builds. Constructed by Dennis McCarthy, this custom build featured a bespoke tube frame and cowcatcher, which could hurl unsuspecting victims through the air, making for more action-packed chase scenes. Despite its minimal appearance, the car weighed 3,900 pounds, had a V-drive transmission system that came from a speedboat, and the suspension used parts from a Chevrolet Suburban. With the films being known for their daring stunts, the Flip Car has become a representation of all things Fast and Furious and deserves the title of one of the coolest.
7 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (Sean Boswell) – The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
This classic muscle car is fitting when remembering the spirit of the iconic Fast and Furious films. Driven by Lucas Black’s character Sean Boswell in an intense race through a construction site, it held its own, despite being totaled. What makes the Monte Carlo so memorable is the classic, American style racing against the more common Japanese models, adding a unique and unexpected element to the drifting scenes. Intertwining different elements of car culture adds to the cool factor and the Monte Carlo is the perfect fit to uphold it.

6 1965 Ford GT40 (Mia Toretto) – Fast Five
Highlighting another American classic, the Ford GT40 used in Fast Five wasn’t even real, but a replica built solely for the movie. The original GT40 was created by Ford to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, and it won four years in a row from 1966 to 1969. Including a classic car in the film that was created simply to race is an iconic creative decision that makes its appearance even more special. When Mia, played by Jordana Brewster, drives off in it, its sleek, blue design with the white racing stripes down the middle really drives home the point of how iconic and classic this car really is.
5 The Gurkha LAPV (Luke Hobbs) – Fast Five
Imagine Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who plays Luke Hobbs, speeding through the streets of Rio in a Honda S2000. As cool as that sounds, The Rock needs something a little more fitting. Something like the Gurkha LAPV. This specialized military vehicle designed to provide protection against gunfire, explosives, and other threats is an interesting, yet notable choice for the film. Its unique design and tactical utility make the Gurkha a standout addition to the series. Not only does it add to the franchise’s reputation for action and creativity, but it leaves viewers wondering what other unconventional vehicles could be added to future movies.
4 2000 Honda S200 (Suki) – 2 Fast 2 Furious
Speaking of Honda S2000s, this car driven by Devon Aoki’s character, Suki, may not be the most famous in the Fast and Furious franchise, but it definitely is the most memorable. It is one of the most eye-catching cars with its vibrant pink interior and exterior design, pink nitrous flames, and its matching pink driver. While the movies shed light on the underground world of street racing, it also gave audiences the opportunity to see a bit of representation within car culture by including a touch of femininity and diversity in the usually male-dominated activity. That makes this one of the best cars in the franchise.

3 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse (Brian O’Conner) – The Fast and the Furious
The 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse holds a special place as one of the best cars in the Fast and Furious series. Its standout moment came in the first film when Brian is using it for his first-ever street race. With its turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and sleek design, it represented the popular racing culture of the early 2000s. Beyond its performance specs, the Eclipse became culturally significant as a symbol of the films’ embrace of the imported car scene. Most importantly, its association with the late Paul Walker, who portrayed Brian O’Conner, adds a layer of nostalgia for fans, making it a long-lasting icon in the franchise’s history.
2 1970 Dodge Charger R/T (Dominic Toretto) – Multiple Fast and Furious Movies
The 1970 Dodge Charger R/T stands as one of the most recognizable cars associated with the Fast and Furious franchise. While its specs continued to change and be upgraded throughout the various films it appeared, its powerful V8 engine and legendary performance, including impressive acceleration and top speed, make it a classic icon. Due to its recurring presence in multiple films, the Dodge Charger has become the signature vehicle of Dominic Toretto. It’s synonymous with a sense of nostalgia whenever it appears on the screen. Its cultural impact, classic design, and the impactful thrill it offers to both characters and viewers make it a leading favorite in the Fast and Furious saga.

1 1994 Toyota Supra MK IV (Brian O’Conner) – The Fast and the Furious
With the Dodge Charger being synonymous with Dom Toretto, the Toyota Supra is equally associated with Brian O’Connor. The Supra has become an emblem of his character’s evolution and a symbol of pride within the franchise. Having appeared in multiple films throughout the series, the Supra’s iconic presence on screen represents not only its impressive performance specs, like its 320 horsepower, but also its cultural impact on fans who cherish its association with Paul Walker. Toyota even released an updated version of the Toyota Supra in 2020 in partnership with BMW. It is undeniable that this is a car that has driven off the screen and into the hearts of those who love the Fast and Furious movies.

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
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.
