 1970 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS

Seen briefly at the very end of The Fast and the Furious and featured more prominently in the 4th film Fast and Furious, Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is the car he returned to the series with. First seen with a red and black color scheme, the car is eventually modified and painted grey in preparation for an audition race. It’s unknown exactly what modifications where done to the Chevelle but the standard engine was a LS6 454 V8 with 450 base horsepower capable of 0-60 in 6 seconds and a ¼ mile time of 13.7 seconds. Unfortunately the Chevelle doesn’t survive the film as Dom used it as a timed bomb to injure/distract the films villain, by allowing nitrous from the tanks to seep into the car with the cigarette lighter turned on. Once the lighter sparked, the car exploded ending its life within the films.

MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION VII

Seen in the second film 2 Fast 2 Furious, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII was used by Brian O’Conner for his undercover mission to take down drug lord Carter Verone. Turbo charged with all wheel drive, the Lancer easily handles corners at speeds that would cause most cars to crash, allowing O’Conner to win an audition street race set up by Verone to choose the drivers he will use for his money laundering operation. Only used for part of the movie, this is one of the few cars driven by a protagonist that remains undamaged during its time on screen. Due to the GPS monitoring system integrated into the electronics of the car, O’Conner ended up ditching the vehicle for a ride that wasn’t as easy to track.
