Cars from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

1967 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Sean is pretty proud of his Auto Shop project, and rightly so; he completely schools a fellow student on fast cars and how to drive them. It's a shame that the car got destroyed after the race, but hopefully Sean got a tape of the wreck like he had asked for.

2004 Volkswagen Touran

Hulk too big for puny Volkswagen! Hulk SMASH!!!

2000 Nissan Silvia S15

Twinkie calls this car the "Mona Lisa" of drift cars, but Sean's first foray into drifting all but totals it. Earlier versions of the Silvia made it to the US, most notably as the 240SX, but this particular model was never sold in America.

2006 Nissan 350Z

At the time the 350Z was the latest model of Nissan's famed Z series, although the Japanese automaker has since created the 370Z. DK drives this car in both of his races against Sean; DK easily wins the first race, and rolls down the side of a mountain in the second race.

1997 Mazda RX-7

This car started out as a standard RX-7, but Veilside rebuilt it with a custom widebody kit, allowing for a wider stance. Han uses it as his daily driver, and shows Sean that if you go fast enough, the police in Tokyo won't even bother trying to catch you.

2006 Mazda RX-8

Sean talks trash about Neela's car, telling her that she'd be better off with a V-8 motor. But Neela later takes him drifting through the mountains, proving that there isn't anything wrong with her ride.

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX

Sean learns to drift in this Evo, and shreds more than a few tires in the process. The Evo is normally 4WD, but this one's been modified to a rear drive only configuration, making for better drifting ability.

1967 Ford Mustang Fastback (NISMO)

Sean's father picked up this motorless Mustang at the naval base, but hadn't really done much with it. When Sean proposes a final race against DK, he and his friends salvage the motor from Han's Silvia and install it in the Mustang chassis. Although this Frankenstein-style creation wins the race, Mustang purists shook their heads at this monstrosity.

I didn't like the new Fast and Furious movie, thought it was mediocre, though if u are a fan of the series then you'll like it. Also the Dodge Charger IS the coolest one.

Jokerboy, I agree with you on the Charger, at least in the first movie. But I have to say I'm also partial to the Skylines and the Yenko Camaro.

You've gotta love the Skyline that blows the hot ladies' skirts up. also the 98 skyline is soo beasty. love skylines.
Same with later 90's supras, love em.
Since Suburu went with the permanent change to the WRX STi body and made it a hatchback back in....idk 07 or 08 model, i haven't liked them as much. i love the STi sedan models.
I also gotta show some love to the old muscle cars like the Charger and Chevelle SS.

I've also been wondering for a long time why Mazda has not made a 'mazdaspeed' version of the RX-8. they've done it with the Miata, 3, and 6 (which my family owns), but why not RX-8? idk. RX-8 certainly deserves to be much faster and sportier like its predecessor the RX-7. i've driven an RX-8 was definitely not impressed. not a big fan of the rotary engine (also bad gas mileage) for a reg driver cuz it needs to be constantly revved so high.

They shold've just put the new Nissan GT-R in the new movie, whoever has that car just wins all, it would undoubtedly smoke the shi.t out of any car in those 4 movies, best car on the planet.

I like Mazda a lot though, have had a Miata (great car), the first model of the Mazda 6 (such a great car) and the Mazdaspeed 6 is pretty sick, when the turbo kicks in mannnnn....Didn't mean to come off as hating on the RX-8 its a nice car, I meant I wasn't too impressed with the performance I thought it would be better, but I think it deserves a sporty Mazdaspeed tune up! =)

Haha sorry for the multiple posts I just love cars =)

I agree with the original author, the F&F movies are about the cars. I loved that Orange Supra so much (from the first film) I ended up buying a stock 93 on ebay. It was a twin turbo and then I just recently did a single turbo conversion on it. 500 horsepower at the wheels :)

Lucky you! Supras are hard to find, especially twin turbo 6 speed manuals. If you find one it is usually very expensive also, it's basically a collector's item now.

Easily the hottest car in the entire series (up to the 3rd movie, haven't seen the 4th yet) is the Veilside 1997 RX-7. The RX-7 is one of my all time favourite cars and typically I hate what tuners do to the car. However, the combination of the ultra-wide body and the orange and black colour scheme and I just loved it.

In a distant second, I'd probably have to say Paul Walker's first car, the 1996 Eclipse. The colour was wild for its day and it just started it all.

The best "car" was the F-150 Lightning being used as a parts hauler in the first movie that probably could have outrun 90% of the "fast" cars in the rest of the film. :-P

I haven't watched the movies, but just from checking out the cars on the list, I'd rank 'em like this:
1. Yenko Camaro
2. Challenger
3. Charger
4. F-Bomb
5. Chevelle
6. Buick Grand National
7. Mustang (without the dumb motor)
8. Torino
9. Everything else.

The Yenko Camaro is by FAR the best car in the series. All other discussions are null and void! I would gladly trade in my beloved 69' SS Camaro for Yenko!

My rankings:

1) Yenko Super Camaro
2) 1970 Dodge Challenger
3) 1970 Chevelle
4) Buick GNX
5) F-Bomb Camaro
6) 1970 Dodge Charger

You guys can have the rest.

these movies were supposed to be inspired by import tuning scene.. hondas,acuras, eclipses.... why is so much enphasis being put on the american muscle cars?.. altho i personally love the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS... i think the best car of the 1st series was hectors hatchback.. that was a bad *** lil ride.. skylines tho have to be the best cars..especially in the tuning world.

The reason why it would be a shame to have the new Nissan GT-R as a replacement of the GT-BNR34 is because exactly that. The motor alone, that particular inline 6 is what made that car so popular. The GT-R is a V6 and has no comparison to power, or bolt on capability of the R34.

What about the Saleen Mustang in 2F2F? The one that got murdered by the semi? Saleen Mustangs are my favorite muscle cars all around. Even though I drive an '03 Lancer EVO VIII, I still love me some American muscle! You kind of miss the torque ripping the rear of your car out from underneath of you.

What's up with all the used-car-sale cars? Maybe I'm a "noob" but I would have thought these film had better cars.

I am a huge Mustang fan but I'm going to say that the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is the best car in the series (the first one and the second one). I still do like that Mustang though even if it did have a tuner engine implant.
