The Coolest Cars Featured in Fast 9 | TOC Automotive College

There is nothing more exciting than to see the next instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise coming to the big screens (wherever possible, that is, thanks to COVID). But the ninth instalment (YES NINTH!) of the franchise serves to bring up even more action-packed stunts and beefy guys taking on each other for ‘Family’.

But what is Fast and Furious without the cars? Well, we can certainly tell you that we’re most excited to see the cars in action. And boy, are there a lot of cars on display here. From the trailers, we can already see everything from a mid-engine Hellcat-powered Dodge Charger to a giant Mercedes-Benz Unimog-based truck, and even a Pontiac Fiero with a ROCKET!

So today, we’re looking at some of the coolest cars on display in the movie, which you can probably catch in cinemas on 26 June (if FMCO is lifted by then).

1. Mid-Engine Dodge Charger

Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) is known for his affinity for Mopar, and throughout the series we've seen him drive plenty of Dodge Chargers. This mid-engine Hellcat is supercharged with a 6.2-liter V-8–powered 1968 Charger, and it cost over $1 million to build. Fun fact: two cars were built with Hellcat engines, but the stunt cars are powered by LS3 crate motors with plastic molds of the Hellcat's supercharger on top.

2. Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

This car is a beast! The film crew transplanted a Challenger SRT Hellcat powertrain into a 2016 Charger SRT Hellcat, and it even includes the six-speed manual transmission from the Chally that was never offered on the Charger. It's upgraded with a Magnaflow exhaust, tuned, and has an aftermarket pulley and injectors that help it muscle up over 800 horsepower. It also has the hood and wheels from the Challenger SRT Demon. Insane!

3. Toyota Supra

The Toyota Supra has always been an integral part of the franchise. In Fast 9, Han (Sung Kang) returns and drives the A90 Supra, which has a color scheme reminiscent of the Mazda RX-7 he drives in the third film, Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. It’s also equipped with HRE wheels that were inspired by the Toyota Supra pace car for the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

4. Ford Mustang

Dom's brother, Jakob Toretto (John Cena), is introduced in Fast 9, and Justin Lin, the director of the franchise, wanted him to drive a Ford Mustang GT equipped with some carbon-fiber body mods.

5. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T

Another iconic car in the franchise. It's obvious that the original Charger had to make the cut for the ninth film. In this upcoming film, Dom's Charger is even better, but it’s better to watch the movie than let us spoil it for you. .

6. Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is another Hellcat-powered vehicle that's featured in Fast 9. It costs $89,940 and is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that produces 707 horsepower. Not bad for a Jeep.

7. Jeep Gladiator

In some of the jungle chase scenes, the brand new Jeep Gladiator, is going to shine. It is upgraded with massive off-road tires including a roof-mounted spare, beadlock-capable wheels, metal bumpers, a front-mounted winch, and a lifted suspension.

8. Acura NSX

Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej Parker (Ludacris) both drive Acura's $150,000-plus twin-turbo V-6 hybrid supercar in the film. And wow, what a car.

9. Noble M600

Deckard (Jason Statham) and Owen (Luke Evans) Shaw's mother drives the hand-built M600 supercar from British manufacturer Noble in Fast 9. It's a real example, loaned to the film by Noble, and is powered by a 650-hp twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine supplied by Yamaha.

10. Pontiac Fiero

Just LOOK AT IT! This crazy looking-Pontiac Fiero with rockets strapped on to the roof is certifiably insane, which suits most of the cars in the franchise. We’ll just have to wait to watch the film and see what crazy stunt it has in store.

We’re really excited to see all the cars in store in the movie, and we really can’t wait to see how crazy it will get. Which of the cars above are your favorite? What do you think of the article? Leave a comment below!
