Fast & Furious and Vin Diesel go hand in hand, but when you think of the series, what car maker comes to mind? Well Diesel himself is a petrol head and has a bunch of cars, all of which you’d find in a Fast & Furious film. And those are the cars you’re most often seen with.From the cars to the pictures, it’s clear that Diesel is indeed rapidly rounding up a “Fast & Furious” collection of his own.He has a range of exclusive vehicles around him: cars that come with a story to tell. In honor of the street-racing that made him legendary, Ryan Mac Kinnon has a garage loaded with a bunch of force-fed V8s, big-ass body kits, racecar handling, and heavily customized hardware.

They are referencing the action movies, they are just cool, or just too fast; at the end of the day, they’re all characters. Also sitting among the collection are a handful of anomalies to Diesel’s obsession with old American muscle; occupying a tiny space on the driveway’s set of Mopars and Chevys are Japanese exotic cars, a surrealized Mercedes Benz Sprinter, and Hollywood movie vehicles that are telling a story all of their own. Diesel’s dozen speeders that originally raced (including a winged Dodge Charger and 1500+ horsepower Camaro) perfectly illustrate the spectrum of Vin’s automotive universe.

1. 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

4. Dodge Charger Daytona 1969 One of the most infamous of the American race cars from the muscle car era, the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is also one of the most eye-catching muscle cars. Built on the Chrysler B-body, it’s a second-generation Dodge Charger model that was purpose-built for racing, making it a highly desirable collectible. With a trademark, deadly aerodynamic appearance and the highly recognizable large spoiler on the back as well as the long nose cone on the front, it’s definitely one of the coolest classics on the list to have in a collection inspired by Fast & Furious.

Key Daytona Details:

• Built on Chrysler’s B platform
• Designed with racing performance in mind
• Features enormous rear wing
• Includes an extended aerodynamic nose
• Remains highly desirable among collectors

The Daytona burst onto the Hollywood scene in borrowed fashion in the Fast & Furious 6 film when Tej bought one at a car auction and Dom was being pursued in it while fleeing Spain. The actual show car was not a clone of the original car offered to the factory but the one used on set had a few modifications including a lower nose in front and a lower rear wing, permanent headlight pods and wheels of its own 18 inch variety. It is reckoned that just three of the seven clone cars used in the filming ended up remaining. The actual car was a pretty hard hitter before they added some extra bits in for the movie-factory options are a 7.0 L Hemi V8 and 2.2 L Magnum V8 rated at 390-425 hp.

2. 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum

Speed Kore 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum The endearing modest firm Speed Kore discovers the 1970 Charger Tantrum, raising the Charger recipe to the fullest throwing capacity, matching the muscle car with a new modern low and broad body and spec’d full with all sorts of modern-day technological innovation and powertrain molecularity. Diesel, who experienced a blessed 52nd, was given the car when operating the Fast & Furious 9 as new classics mean more.

Key Tantrum Features:

• Created as a SpeedKore restomod
• Uses twin-turbocharged V8 power
• Produces extreme horsepower levels
• Features extensive carbon-fiber work
• Cost more than $600,000 to build

But what really makes the Tantrum better than just a standard old classic Charger’s mechanical package. Up front is a twin turbocharged 9.0-liter Mercury V8 equipped with a Trireme T56 six-speed manual transmission. The engine delivers a staggering 1,350 horsepower on regular fuel, and that jumps to as high as 1,650 horsepower with premium gas.The build also employs a good amount of carbon-fiber work, and the project is said to have cost more than $600,000.The car isn’t new to the Fast & Furious universe, though, after it made the rounds in F8: The Fate of the Furious and F9: The Fast Saga. With the classic styling, modern construction, and over-the-top power output, the Tantrum is one of the most absurd Diesel cars, and later appeared in classifieds.

3. 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 “F-Bomb”

Lastly, the 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, called F-Bomb, stands as another of the craziest looking muscle cars as we have seen in the franchise. This muscle car, F-Bomb, from the Fast & Furious franchise, driven by the character, Dom Tintoretto, gets its name from the F-Body car. The F-Bomb derives from the GM F-Body platform that several of the iconic muscle cars from the past have utilized, and the big car has a cool appearance and even thicker rumors of 1,200+ horsepower, leading to high-combat appeal.

F-Bomb Performance Highlights:

• Based on a 1973 Camaro Z28
• Uses GM’s F-Body platform
• Features aggressive classic proportions
• Reported output exceeds 1,500 horsepower
• Driven by Dominic Toretto onscreen

7 The F-Bomb uses an A-arm front suspension setup with leaf springs to keep the solid rear axle in check. A standard 1973 Camaro from the factory rolled out with a 245-horsepower 5.7-liter V8, but none of the contents of the F-Bomb’s powertrain, surely. Some have estimated the power output to be more than 1,500 horsepower, which may make the already unique Camaro into a complete monster. Not only does it boast incredible power, but visually, the F-Bomb must appear like a big and tough muscle car with fun attitude and speed, and it does so while keeping the proportions that make a late-60s/early-70s Camaro look downright evil.

4. 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

The 1970 Chevelle is an American muscle-car icon. And it is a Vin Diesel film-icon classic. A second-generation muscle-car, the 1970 Chevelle was among America’s most familiar iterations of the performance muscle-car, a body style that incorporated sleek proportions, large-displacement V8 engines and aggressive styling. And for reasons related to the muscliest of muscle cars, the Chevrolet Chevelle is a legend in Diesel’s personal automobile history, it was cited in a past interview as ‘Vin Diesel said his favorite car was a Chevy Chevelle.

Chevelle’s Standout Qualities:

• Belongs to second-generation Chevelle lineup
• Became a defining American muscle car
• Offered strong V8 engine choices
• Featured clean muscular proportions
• Was reportedly Diesel’s favorite car

Fast & Furious Fans Will Recognize It Instantly as Dom’s Car This one should be easy for Fast & Furious fans to identify it’s, after all, the vehicle Dom showcases off to the beautiful possible romantic partner at the end of the very first film-and then starts off into the sunset. The Saloon here can be a Chevelle, a 1970 model L72 7.4 L big-block V8 with 360 horses under the hood that provided both the grunt and the growl that Dom certainly needed. Diesel bought the Fast & Furious car when it was available on the marketplace, though he finally sold it but it still is definitely among his most identifiable-famous rides, both due to his memorable appearance within the franchise, and also the muscle car’s winning styling.

5. 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Diesel’s new Mopar muscle car is a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner. The Road Runner is a muscle car classic, a performance equipped Plymouth model that was a part of Plymouth’s lineup of cars from 1968 through 1980. Plymouth constructed the muscle car as a pared-down, bare-bones package that appealed to the performance enthusiast with its focus on more power for the dollar. The Road Runner’s bold styling and robust performance engines made it a favorite among muscle cars for the era, and its limited production makes it a sought-after collector’s item today.

Road Runner Highlights:

• Produced as a midsize performance car
• Followed a straightforward performance philosophy
• Featured bold period styling
• Powered by a 7.0-liter Hemi V8
• Later offered through Barrett-Jackson

It is just the kind of old school performance that would have a perfect space in a lineup of slick muscle cars that are in Diesel’s collection. Powertrain in a 7.0L Hemi V8 engine in the front of the car that would pack the explosive punch that performance-minded machinery from its heyday would. Its styling cues of the late-1960s and early-1970s would help set it apart from some of the more exaggerated styling of the larger scale Charger builds in the collection. The Road Runner later parted ways with the collection when sold at auction by Barrett-Jackson, but it is part of Diesel’s collection of cars still and one of his classic American muscle cars that underline he isn’t just keen on fancy new ride luxury cars.

6. 1966 Pontiac Bonneville

Not every vehicle in Diesel’s ranks exudes an all-out muscle car vibe. A 1966 Pontiac Bonneville supplies yet another element of what diesel is into, American classic full-size luxurious, and that is definitely the industry’s 1960s muscle car classic. The fourth-era of the Bonneville provided its dimensions as a result of the fact it had all of it, using extensive sweeping proportions that gave full-dimension vehicles of the 1960s a similarly large existence of the highway. The archetypal Coke-bottle solitary-curves profile just cements its role as 1 giant ride at 222.6 inches of overall size.

Bonneville’s Distinctive Traits:

• Represents full-size American luxury
• Features dramatic 1960s proportions
• Measures 222.6 inches in length
• Delivers substantial road presence
• Emphasizes comfort and cruiser character

Thanks to its size, the Bonneville was a complete hog. The four wheeled land yacht is more of a yacht with four wheels than a muscle car, and as such it’s entirely different from the Chargers, Camaro, and Road Runner cruising around Diesel’s other cars. The Bonneville packs a 6.9-liter V8 under the hood, pumping out 376 horses and 465 pound-feet of torque and three-speed automatic transmission.While the behemoth Bonneville is a gigantic boat on wheels, it manages to run through a quarter-mile in about 15 seconds while going a 0-60 time of 8 seconds and top out near 120 miles per hour.With a buttery-smooth ride and the ultimate styling touches of the 1960s, the Bonneville is one of the more bizarre and refined cars in Diesel’s garage.

7. 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

What makes the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI evidence that Diesel has better taste in cars than American V8 muscle cars? This turbocharged Japanese performance car appeared in Fast & Furious 4, and brought a whole new take on performance to the series. Instead of big liters and rear-wheel drive muscle, the Impreza brings turbocharged performance and high-tech all-wheel drive traction because of its rally car racing roots. It’s an incredibly different type of car from Diesel’s other high-horsepower rides.

WRX STI Performance Details:

• Powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four
• Produces 305 horsepower
• Delivers 290 lb-ft of torque
• Uses a six-speed manual transmission
• Features advanced all-wheel-drive traction

The WRX STI is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat four that produces 305hp and 290 lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels via six-speed manual transmission, taking full advantage of the WRX’s very capable all-wheel-drive system. This turbocharged 2.5-liter engine also means that this car is quite speedy, which gets it from 0-60 mph in around 4.7 seconds, so it’s a little more than a collector’s car to have in Diesel’s garage, especially considering the significantly more powerful V8 powered cars that surround it. Its appearance in the series is also in line with how the Fast & Furious movies kept becoming increasingly centered around performance vehicles from all parts of the world, so Subaru models are just as important to the series as the American muscle cars.

8. 1993 Mazda RX-7

Another popular Japanese legend with Diesel is the 1993 Mazda RX-7. The RX-7 (generation FD) was built on the third-generation chassis and this exact car is described as a rare 22 Imported straight from Japan. The car was made out of very light-weight materials, had razor-sharp handling all around and had wild and outrageous new rotary-engine design, which really separated it from other sports cars in its class back in the late-’80s and early-’90s. It’s still widely considered one of the top Japanese performance sports cars ever made.

RX-7 Engineering Highlights:

• Built on the third-generation FD platform
• Uses a 1.3-liter rotary engine
• Features twin-turbocharged induction
• Produces 252 horsepower
• Uses a five-speed manual gearbox

Powder comes from a 1.3-liter twin-turbocharged rotary engine making 252 horsepower and 217 pound-feet of torque. It is backed by a five-speed manual transmission and, in stock form, is capable of completing 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds and running to a top speed of 158 mph. Size-wise and weight-wise, this is a very different beast to the American muscle cars of Diesel’s other Super Bowl collection cars, and even the muscle cars of the seven-figure Ferrari 250 GTO or modern AMG Black Series cars. While there’s a designated full-cage roll cage and nitrous oxide on the movie versions of the RX-7, Diesel’s machine is an untouched ambassador to the car’s original performance, which makes it a very intriguing proposition.

9. Customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van

Diesel’s customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is one of those vehicles that can add flair, style and character to his collection. These vehicles are pretty inspired by regular cars, although the Sprinter is more of a mobile command center. It makes it roomier and more comfortable to take long road trips in, and a customized interior gives it some character. Diesel also had a Sprinter given to him by his Fast & Furious co-star, Tyrese Gibson, which he also adds to his collection.

Sprinter Customization Features:

• Designed as a mobile command center
• Created for Diesel’s One Race Production
• Built with Van Masters
• Features Rolls-Royce-inspired craftsmanship
• Combines utility with custom luxury

Built with help from Diesel’s One Race Production to the exacting standards of VW Masters, the van features an interior akin to Rolls-Royce level of craftsmanship which transforms the utilitarian Sprinter into an incomparably comfortable sanctuary on wheels. It’s not about high power or speed, but about an extremely comfortable and fully customisable environment that can be enjoyed both as a workspace or during weekends when it’s time for an escape away from the standard production office setting. It uses a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 which pushes 188bhp and 325lb-ft through the five-speed automatic, numbers which are miniscule compared to those Tantrum or F-Bomb, but this is the Sprinter a completely different beast for completely different tasks.

10. 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Grand Sport

Finishing up the pack, rounding off the most iconic sports cars tied to a classic film franchise is a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Grand Sport. The first year for the Stingray, as well as a greatly recognizable split-window design. The road car was highly performance focused, making it an iconic and sought-after American sports car. With such aggressive styling, performance, and film linkups, the Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Grand Sport makes for a perfect fit in the Fast & Furious world.

Corvette Grand Sport Highlights:

• Represents the first-year Stingray
• Features iconic split-window styling
• Emphasizes racing-inspired performance
• Uses high-performance fuel-injected technology
• Appeared in Fast Five

The Grand Sport was built to be as light as possible, using lightweight racing brakes, as well as opting for speed and handling over comfort or delivery. It even came with a high-performance Rochester fuel-injected engine, and even had integrated breaker-less magnetic pulse triggered Delcotronic electronic ignition! These kinds of details made the Corvette out of your generic outdoor sports car, and today, they’re almost impossible to find.It’s one-of-a-kind, comes from a racing legend, and its “scary” styling makes it an ideal bookend for Diesel’s collection.Whether you’re talking about Chargers, Chevelle’s, Road Runners, Camaros, or just special cars like the Grand Sport, it’s pretty clear that Diesel was always about that action, whether we’re talking about modern or ancient, American or Asian, and cult hits or rides that are more “special”.
