The main cars of the heroes: technical data and role in the plot
In 2 Fast & Furious, each main character got a car that reflected their personality. Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) remained faithful to the Japanese tuning, and Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) preferred the American powerful Dodge Challenger. But the real star of the film was Ferrari 360 Modena Carter's Verone is the car for which the entire plot unfolds.
Interesting fact: for filming it was used several doubles every car. For example, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII There were three versions of Brian's: for racing, for shooting interiors and for stunts. However, they were all modified to suit the needs of the film — for example, additional cameras were installed in the cabin, and the engine was tuned for a more spectacular sound.
- 🚗 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII (Brian O'Conner) - 2.0L turbo, 280 hp. (in the film up to 400 hp after tuning).
- 🏁 Dodge Challenger R/T (Roman Pierce) - 5.7L V8, 345 hp. (in reality - 375 hp in the 2003 modification).
- 💰 Ferrari 360 Modena (Carter Verone) - 3.6L V8, 400 hp, acceleration to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.
- 🔥 Dodge Viper RT/10 (antagonists) - 8.0L V10, 450 hp, top speed 290 km/h.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII: how Brian O'Conner's car was tuned
Paul Walker's car in 2 Fast and the Furious is not easy Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII, but a full-fledged project with unique modifications. The car was used for the film deep tuningwhich included:
- 🔧Increasing power up to
~400 hp(in the standard version - 280 hp). - 🎨 Complete repainting in signature blue color
Electric Blue Pearl(in reality, this shade was not mass-produced). - 🚀 Turbine installation Garrett GT35R and reflashing the ECU to run on racing fuel.
- 🔊 Upgrading the exhaust system for a more aggressive sound (sound recording was used in the film Subaru Impreza WRX STI).
It’s interesting that after filming, one of the stunt doubles Lancer Evo VII was sold at auction in 2020 for $187,000 - despite the fact that the production model of the same year costs 5–10 times less. Today, the original cars from the film are considered collector's rarity, and they are almost impossible to find on the open market.
If you want to recreate the style of Brian's car, check out the original wheels Enkei RPF1 (18 inches) and splitter from Voltex - they are still produced for modern Evo.
Ferrari 360 Modena: why this car became the main one in the film
Ferrari 360 Modena Carter Verone (Cole Hauser) is not just a background car, but key plot element. It is because of her that Brian and Roman go to Miami, and the final chase revolves around an attempt to steal this supercar. In the film the car is presented in a rare color Rosso Corsa with black wheels OZ Racing.
Specifications 360 Modena (2003):
| Parameter | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Engine | 3.6L V8 (F131) |
| Power | 400 hp at 8500 rpm |
| Gearbox | 6-speed F1 (robotic) |
| Acceleration 0–100 km/h | 4.5 sec. |
| Max. speed | 295 km/h |
⚠️ Attention: In one of the scenes Ferrari 360 Modena almost caught fire while filming a stunt with jumping over a bridge. According to the operators, the fuel system malfunctioned, and they barely had time to extinguish the car. This sequence was not included in the final cut, but a shot of smoke can be seen in some of the chase shots.
American muscle cars: Dodge Challenger and Viper RT/10
If Japanese cars in Fast and Furious 2 were responsible for tuning and drifting, then American models symbolized raw power and aggression. Dodge Challenger R/T Romana Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) is an homage to the classic muscle cars of the 70s, and Dodge Viper RT/10 The antagonists became one of the most dangerous vehicles on the set.
Viper RT/10 (1996–2002) with engine 8.0L V10 developed 450 hp and was so unpredictable in handling that a professional racer was invited to perform stunts. In the film, the car appears in a chase scene in Miami, where it is blown up on a bridge - this stunt cost the producers $250,000 (that’s how much one copy cost Viper in 2003).
Why is the Viper RT/10 so dangerous?
This car did not have electronic assistants (ESP, ABS), and the 50/50 weight distribution combined with the powerful V10 made it extremely unstable at high speeds. In real life, the Viper RT/10 often got into accidents even with experienced drivers.
- 💥 Dodge Viper RT/10 - the only car in the film that destroyed in footage (explosion on the bridge).
- 🎬 For the scene with Challenger They used a 2003 modification, although externally the car is stylized as the 1970s.
- 💰 Today Viper RT/10 worth it in good condition $80,000–$120,000.
Episodic cars: which cars are often overlooked
In addition to the main characters, "Fast 2 Furious" featured more than 50 cars, many of which go unnoticed. For example:
- 🚔 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor - a Miami police car that is chasing the heroes at the beginning of the film.
- 🚘 Honda S2000 (yellow) - appears in the street racing scene, but does not belong to the main characters.
- 🚙 BMW M5 E39 - the car of one of Carter Verone's henchmen (in the scene with the chase through the port).
- 🏍 Yamaha R1 - a motorcycle that one of the antagonists races on.
⚠️ Attention: BMW M5 E39 from the film was modified for the needs of filming - the rear seats were removed to accommodate camera equipment. Today such cars (even without film history) cost from $30,000 and are considered classics of the German automobile industry.
Look for unique tuning parts (like the spoiler on the Lancer Evo VII).
Check the VIN - some stunt doubles have documents from the set.
Pay attention to the color: many of the cars were repainted specifically for the film (for example, the blue tint of the Evo VII).
Study the ownership history - often cars from films are sold through auctions with documentary evidence.-->

How much do the cars from Fast & Furious cost in 2026?
Prices for cars from the film depend on their condition, history and availability of documents from the film set. Below are the current estimates for 2026:
| Model | Cost of the serial version (2026) | Cost of the car from the movie |
