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.
