18 Fast & Furious Cars That Appear In Multiple Movies

If there’s one thing the Fast & Furious franchise is about, it’s family, but the movies are also about flashy and speedy cars, many of which appear in multiple installments. Since the release of The Fast and the Furious in 2001, the franchise has followed a growing ensemble of characters, and just as every one of these players has come and gone, so have their vehicles. Few of them drive the same cars more than once, especially since a lot of Fast & Furious rides are destroyed, so it’s rare for any to make multiple appearances, yet there are also occasional Easter eggs where autos from past movies reappear.

While the focus here is on specific recurring cars, there have been repeated models of vehicles as well as other modes of transport that have shown up in multiple Fast & Furious movies. The submarine from The Fate of the Furious makes a surprise appearance in the cliffhanger ending of Fast X, for instance. Any cars that only returned via flashbacks to previous movies are excluded from the list — unless these revisited moments involve new or reworked footage of the original scenes. Also, while the Fast & Furious franchise features multiple Chevrolet Caprices and Ford Crown Victorias as police and taxi vehicles, they’re left off the list as well.

Dominic’s 1970 Dodge Charger R/T

“Nine-hundred horses of Detroit muscle.” If there’s one iconic car from the Fast & Furious movies, it’s Dominic Toretto’s black 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, which he built with his dad as a kid. Following its introduction in The Fast and the Furious, where Dom totaled the car during a chase-turned-race with Brian, the Charger returned in Fast & Furious, Fast Five, Furious 7, F9, and Fast X. The car seemed to be destroyed multiple times, but like the franchise’s main “family” characters, Dom’s Charger will never die. While Dom drives a lot of cars in the Fast & Furious movies, this is the one he’ll always be best known for.

Dominic’s 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Another car introduced in the original movie, Dom’s 1970 Chevelle SS made its debut during the post-credits scene at the end of The Fast and the Furious. At that time, the car was red and black, and that’s how it looked in Fast & Furious when Dom drove it to Letty’s funeral. Dom later painted the vehicle gray for the audition race, which it barely survived as he drove it to a win. The Chevelle was then sacrificed, however, so that Dom could escape Fenix. In The Fate of the Furious, Dom purchased a near-identical Chevelle. Then in Fast X, he was seen building the same car with his son.

Brian’s 1994 Toyota Supra MK IV

One of the other notable cars in The Fast and the Furious is the 1994 Toyota Supra MK IV, which Brian got from a junkyard and brought to Dom. After it was restored, Brian drove the car during the movie’s climax, ultimately racing against Dom and his 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. At the end of The Fast and the Furious, Brian gave Dom the keys to the Supra, allowing him to evade arrest and flee to Mexico. While it never reappeared in any other Fast & Furious feature, the Supra received a mention in The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious as having been abandoned by Dom.

Han’s 2001 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S

Referred to as the “Mona Lisa” in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Han’s 2001 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S was loaned to Sean when the kid needed a car to race Takashi in. Unfortunately, the car was damaged beyond repair while Sean attempted his first drift race. Its still-destroyed status was confirmed in the director’s cut of F9: The Fast Saga. During an extra scene where Letty and Mia broke into Han’s old garage in Tokyo, the Silvia could be seen still wrecked.

Han’s 1997 Mazda RX-7
Han drifts through Tokyo in an orange and black Mazda RX7 in Tokyo Drift

Making its first appearance in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Han’s 1997 Mazda RX-7 technically only appeared in one part of the franchise. However, this sequence was revisited in multiple Fast & Furious movies, with the car reappearing each time. In Tokyo Drift, it was driven by Han as he attempted to evade Takashi. In that third installment, which is the sixth Fast & Furious movie chronologically, Han crashed the Maza and was presumed to be dead. At the end of Fast & Furious 6, Deckard Shaw was revealed to have crashed into Han’s Mazda, and in Furious 7, the car was seen again in a flashback.

Similar to Han’s Mazda RX-7 reappearing in Fast & Furious for a retcon of the character’s death from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the 1992 Mercedes S-Klasse that was involved in the same crash also returned. In the later appearance, Deckard Shaw was shown to exit the Mercedes, throw Dom’s cross into the wreckage, and walk away as Han’s car blew up.

Dominic’s 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

This one was also originally Han’s car. Dom told Sean that he won his 1970 Plymouth Road Runner from his friend a few years earlier. The car first appeared at the end of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift when Dom appears for his cameo. The same scene was revisited and extended in Furious 7 as Dom talked more about Han and also drove the Road Runner while racing Sean for fun. Dom drove another 1970 Plymouth Road Runner in Furious 7 when he followed Deckard Shaw from Hans’s funeral in Los Angeles, but it was a different car.

Letty’s 1970 Plymouth Road Runner
Letty crawls out of an upturned car all bloody in Furious 6.

Not to be confused with the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner that Dom has in Tokyo, this car was driven by Letty when she flipped over multiple times and was presumed to be killed during Fast & Furious. That supposed death scene was revisited in Fast & Furious 6, this time with Letty shown crawling out of the Road Runner before Fenix lit the car on fire.

Mia’s 2003 Acura NSX

Fast & Furious ended with Dom sentenced to prison and riding in a transport bus. Mia, Brian, Leo, and Santos followed the bus with three cars, one of them being Dom’s iconic 1970 Dodge Charger, driven by Brian. Another was a 2003 Acura NSX with Mia behind the wheel. The fourth Fast & Furious movie concluded with a cliffhanger as Mia and Brian swerved their cars in front of the prison transport bus. Then the next installment, Fast Five, opened with a continuation of the same scene, with Mia still driving the Acura NSX as part of the gang’s plan to break Dom free.

2 Modified Dodge Charger SRT-8s
2010 Dodge Charger SRT-8

After the Fast & Furious family stole four 2011 Dodge Charger SRT-8s from the Rio police station in Fast Five, they repainted and modified two for the bank vault heist. Brian and Dom drove the two reworked Chargers as they hauled the vault through the streets of Rio. These cars, along with numerous police vehicles and Hernan Reyes’s Volkswagen Touareg SUVs, were again seen in a revised version of the sequence during the opening of Fast X.

Dominic’s 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8
Fast and Furious Dom Dodge Challenger SRT8

Having purchased the vehicle in the Canary Islands, Dom drove a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 at the end of Fast Five when he raced Brian for fun. The two raced again in Fast & Furious 6, both of them in the same cars.

Brian’s 2010 Nissan GT-R R35
Brian races Dominic on a cliff in Fast and Furious 6

This is the car that Brian drove when he raced Dom in the Dodge Challenger at the end of Fast Five. Brian drove his Nissan GT-R R35 again at the start of Fast & Furious 6 when he raced Dom and the Dodge Challenger a second time. Never mind that the car used in the later sequel was a 2011 model.

Dominic’s 1970 Plymouth Barracuda
Fast & Furious Dom's 1971 Plymouth GTX in the fate of the furious

Another car from 1970 that made multiple appearances in the Fast & Furious movies, a black 1970 Plymouth Barracuda made its first showing at the end of Fast & Furious 6 parked in front of Dom’s Los Angeles home. The car returned in Furious 7 as Dom drove Letty to Race Wars to help her regain her memories. Letty also drove the Barracuda later in the movie when she and Ramsey evaded a drone while Ramsey attempted to shut down the God’s Eye device.

Owen Shaw’s Flip Car

This stunt car was used by the villainous Owen Shaw and his crew during their efforts to build the Nightshade weapon in Fast & Furious 6. Featuring a ramp in the front, the car could ram the Fast & Furious family’s vehicles and flip them. The “Flip Car” later made a cameo in Deckard Shaw’s garage in Fast X.

Dominic’s 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum

Like the Fast & Furious family, Dom’s 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum has traveled the globe. The car was first shown in The Fate of the Furious, located at the crew’s hideout in Berlin where Ramsey sat on its hood. Dom then brought the Tantrum to London, as it was next seen outside his and Letty’s farmhouse in F9. In the same movie, the Tantrum appeared in Los Angeles when Dom drove to see Buddy.

Deckard Shaw’s 2017 McLaren 720S

Fast X paid some respect to the spinoff movie Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw by including Deckard Shaw’s 2017 McLaren 720S in his safe house. The sports car was prominently featured in Hobbs & Shaw driven by Deckard around London. But it didn’t seem likely to make any reappearances in the franchise since its tires were destroyed and the vehicle abandoned as a result following a chase sequence where Deckard, his sister Hattie, and Luke Hobbs evaded the villainous Brixton Lore.

Jakob’s 1992 Ford Mustang
Dom vs Jakob flashback race in Fast X

During the flashback to Dom and Jakob’s younger years in F9, the two brothers race for the latter’s fate. Dom drives a 1967 Dodge Charger while Jakob is in a 1992 Ford Mustang. Jakob loses and is forced to leave Los Angeles. In Fast X, the same Mustang was used for humor when Jakob rescued Little B, who thought his uncle’s ride was a Dodge Ram parked nearby. Instead, it turned out that Jakob was still driving his old car, though he ultimately abandoned it at a gas station when he headed to the airport with his nephew. Perhaps it could return again in the next Fast & Furious movie.

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
Dwayne The Rock Johnson in Black Adam, WWE, and Hobbs and Shaw

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.
