“The Fast and the Furious” movie franchise has given fans a massive collection of drool-worthy cars made larger than life on the screen. The best of those cars combine style, power, and unforgettable scenes in one of the blockbuster “Fast and Furious” films.
The original “Fast and Furious” movie featured the car most beloved by fans of the movies. Vin Diesel’s character, Dom, tore up scenes in his classic black and chrome 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. In a movie containing a number of brightly colored super cars, it was the raw power of the tricked out Charger and its intrinsic nostalgia that allows the classic Charger and its driver, Dom, to steal the show, and the attention of fans.
Dom had more than one gorgeous and growling classic Dodge. In “Fast and Furious 6” Dom got himself behind the wheel of a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. The maroon Dodge is a racing model designed and manufactured exclusively for NASCAR. Aside from its rarity, the deep color and exaggerated spoiler make the whip-fast Charger Daytona as eye-catching and memorable as Dom’s coveted Charger R/T.
Every gang of thieving car movie villains needs a one-of-a-kind vehicle that looks cool and just a little scary. The “ramp car” from “Fast and Furious 6” fits that bill perfectly. Constructed from scrap, spare parts, and a roaring V8 engine packed with 430 horsepower, the “ramp car” is used by the rival gang of bad-guys to drive underneath cars and send them hurtling through the air. The fictional vehicle and weapon in one is dangerously and undeniably cool.
The 1997 Mazda RX-7 is a recurring favorite in more than one “Fast and Furious” movies. Featured in the first two movies and in “Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift”, the orange and black Mazda was customized with a wide body. In the movie, the customization was done by Dominic to make the car a better drifting vehicle for the character Sean, played by the late Paul Walker. Among the exotic sports cars in “Fast and Furious” movies, the repeatedly featured Mazda RX-7 stands out in the minds of car-loving viewers.
The five coolest cars in the “Fast and Furious” movie franchise have as much personality as they do power. Memorable and sought after, each of these cars continue to grab attention, even as the franchise comes to its end.
