Fast & Furious 6 Cars Zoom Into View

film reviews | movies | features | BRWC Fast & Furious 6 Cars Zoom Into View

The “Fast and the Furious” film franchise seems to be one that will never end, as the sixth installment is due out this summer to much fanfare. All the old cast members will be returning, as will a long list of exotic, classic and unique automobiles that the characters will crash, survive in and generally show off throughout the film. This is nothing new for a Fast and Furious film—featuring the finest automobiles ever made is something the franchise relishes and car fans flock to see. So in this sixth installment, the automobiles are as much the highlights as the A-list talent.

Jensen Interceptor

The Jensen Interceptor was a GT-class car from the UK built in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Its body was designed by an Italian company, however, giving it a very stylish, rounded look and making it a true classic at car shows today, as well as in a big budget action movie. A powerful V8 Chrysler engine was offered in the original models of the car, but for the cameo it makes in “Fast and Furious 6,” it is rumored to have a Viper engine under the hood, making it a true speed demon.

Ferrari 360 Modena

This exotic gem is seen only in a passing shot in “Fast and Furious 6” and probably for good reason: they are more rare and valuable these days. Considered to be one of the more beautiful automobiles Ferrari has ever produced, the 360 Modena was manufactured between 1999 and 2005. It was incredibly fast, with a zero-to-60 acceleration clocked at 4.2 seconds and is considered on par with a Porsche GT3 RS model in both design and through road tests. However, it’s always great to see this work of art from Ferrari again, as a car as beautiful as the Modena never gets old.



BMW M5

The beast of a touring sedan known as the BMW M5 also has a role in “Fast and Furious 6.” BMW’s M-class automobiles are generally considered to be some of the best speedy muscle cars that also handle incredibly well. While the M3 is quite popular, the more expensive M5 model is truly where some of BMW’s finest work can be found. If you can’t afford a BMW, but want a sleek sedan to imitate the “Fast and Furious” scenes, according to a Dallas Toyota dealer, Camrys and Avalons sell for as little as $23,000.

Ferrari FXX (Replica)

A Ferrari FXX is also seen in “Fast and Furious 6,” but no, it is not one of the 30 $1.8 million race cars that car lovers have heard about: it’s a replica, because the cost and risk of putting a car like that in a movie was not a gamble the film’s producers wanted to take. The actual FXX models have V12 engines that go up to 790 horsepower and have a top speed of 243 mph. Seeing one of these real FXX cars racing through a film is something that “Fast and Furious” fans will just have to wait to see in the seventh installment, assuming there is one.
