🚓 Custom-Built Heist Truck - Brian O'Conner / Paul Walker Production team built this monster from scratch using around $85,000 of spare parts, a lot of steel tubing, and the cab from an old Oshkosh HEMTT military truck. It's powered by a GM 502 block, and also makes use of Fox Racing coilovers. They built 10 of these for the film, and around 6 survived. One of these trucks really did make that BIG jump -- no CGI trickery was involved. Even more amazingly, it drove away after that stunt. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🚓 1972 De Tomaso Pantera GTS - Vince / Matt Schulze Two Panteras were used for the movie. 1971 Pantera that was completely stripped out and had no engine, transmission, interior, electronics and the windows were spray painted black. This Pantera was the one that was yanked from the train onto the flatbed in the train heist scene. The other car - 1972 Pantera did have an engine and transmission, along with most of its parts included inside of the car. This car was used for the driving scene in the desert. Pantera is RWD, manual 5-speed gearbox, engine with 5766 cm3 / 351.9 cui displacement and 237 hp / 414 Nm, top speed: 245 km/h (152 mph) (declared by factory) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🚓 Ford GT 40 Replica - Mia Toretto / Jordana Brewster GT40s were all one-off, RHD race cars, and authentic ones in good shape can sell for $1.5M. Production team found two really nice kit cars to use as hero cars for about $80K each. Since the GT40’s role is to be driven slightly less abusively than the Vette, only one stunt car was built with a Racecar Replica kit and bare-bones crate motor for about $30,000 USD. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🚓 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Replica by Mongoose Motorsports - Dominic Toretto / Vin Diesel Very few exist in mint condition, with the price of one eclipsing six figures. A real Stingray was used in the movie, with a built 502 big-block engine, four-speed trans, clean interior, and near-flawless everything else. It was designated a First Unit Production, or "hero" car, meaning only actors can sit in it and it never goes through stunts. Production team built and wrecked 10 matching replicas for about $40K each, consisting of Mongoose kits over C4 Corvette chassis and 400hp crate engines - a comparatively small price to pay for having Dom Toretto jump one out of a train and eventually over a cliff on film. Two replicas were built with rear-mounted, air-cooled VW engines for the jump scenes
I don't know if you care or not, but the shifter is actually located on the right side in the GT40's. The cars where manufactured in London, but because the cars were raced by a majority of American drivers they engineered a way to have the gear box over there. If you ever get the chance to look in one it is pretty interesting concept. (Also im 2 years late aswell, I love the GT40 and someone said to me, you know the gt40 is in fast five right?. Just made the movie even better for me lol)
@@cedarcabin6270 yeah it's crazy and it blew my mind! I want to come back here in my comment because I also found out that the GT40 even though RHD has the shifter on the right side also. Thanks for pointing it out again and that is one of the coolest configuration and coolest car itself!
5:06 I threw myself into the lake about 10 meters high and I was already a little scared. Toretto and Bryan fall from a big height like it's normal hahahahaha
What I like the most about F&F is Street Racing and New tricks to play with your Ride Especially I loved the Fast 6 Heavy Turbo Diesel driven by Luke Evans
How did he get the car started so fast from a dead cold start? The engine is a carburetor and it started like it was fuel injection and it had been running for hours. Ahhh hollywood
We actually own a 1972 pre-L Detomaso Pantera. So here’s your first hand knowledge; yes, that is totally possible. Mine will start in 25 degree weather with 4 primer pumps on the pedal right before the key. When I drive it a few times a week, it will start faster than an EFI car can. No joke!
See this is the kinda heist we need in gta. We already got the Wastelander, and rockstars such movie nuts that it’d make sense. Minus the whole burning mess on the bridge, cause realistically they wouldn’t add that
Sweet Pantera.... Now cant find one for under $100k .... In few years... I bet they will be a quarter million dollar cars. less and less of them around..
