1970 DODGE CHARGER R/T

1970 DODGE CHARGER R/T

The vehicle driven by Dominic Toretto at the climax of the first film, the heavily modified 1970 Dodge Charger R/T was owned by his father. Capable of a 9 second ¼ mile time and producing 900hp, even Dom was afraid of it. During the film’s climax, Dom uses the Charger to chase down Johnny Tran who is killed during the chase by O’Conner. Afterwards, the two decide to race, pitting the Charger up against O’Conner’s heavily modified Supra. The race ends in a tie, but shortly afterwards Dom crashes into a semi-truck, totaling the car. The Charger makes a return in Fast and Furious, having been partially rebuilt by Letty then finished by Dom, only to have it again destroyed when Dom abandons it to avoid a series of explosions. Miraculously, the vehicle makes yet another return in Fast Five, when it is used during a jailbreak. It is seen one final time when it is destroyed (for the final time) after it is rammed by an armored car.

2011 DODGE CHARGER SRT-8

2011 DODGE CHARGER SRT-8

The Dodge Charger SRT-8 was the car of choice for the bank vault heist in Fast Five. The stock Dodge Charger SRT-8 came with a 6.4 HEMI V-8 that produced 465hp and 465 ft-lb of torque. After heavy modifications the Chargers used rear mounted heavy duty tow winches to tether themselves to a bank vault and rip it out of the building then engage police in a high speed chase. Topping anything that had come before, this chase sequence was intense, with the two Chargers roaring down streets side by side towing a giant vault behind them. Every sharp corner sent the vault swinging through traffic and knocking aside anything it its way. Aside from bullet holes the cars suffer very little damage, until inertia from the vault flings Dom’s Charger into an oncoming Volkswagen Touran.
