When we first meet Roman, he’s breaking house arrest and competing in a demo derby in Barstow in a mean-ass 70s Monte Carlo, which you may not have recognized due to the shark teeth painted on the front grill. Roman’s 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo The Fast and the Furious Wiki – Fandom Today, you can get one for somewhere in the ballpark of $3,000 to $6,000. But, seriously, why would you? Yikes.īack then, the base car was about $25,000, meaning they spent six figures outfitting four of them for the movie.

Want to know what’s worse? They were AUTOMATIC. Watch closely in the movie and you’ll see Tyrese is just pushing an automatic gear lever back and forth to change gears. Yuck.īless this mess, they really tried to put lipstick on a pig for Roman’s ride… slapping a Shine Street widebody kit, a giant GT wing and a massive chrome exhaust tip on a purple Eclipse still couldn’t save this eyesore.

Paul get’s an all-wheel drive rally legend, and he’s stuck with something no real driver would be caught dead in. A Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. Roman’s 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS Supercars Gallery Now, if you want a Lancer today? You’re still talking about $30,000 to get behind the wheel at least! They are not depreciating! But seeing as how these were shipped directly from Mitsubishi, I’m going to guess they spent a grand total of ZERO dollars to get the cars. So how much did they spend? Well to get an idea, a factory Evo VII in 2003 was just shy of $30,000, making buying four of them a cool $120,000. They quickly spiced them up with a nice lime green and blue paint job along with a DAMD body kit and ARC rear wing, and my personal favorite mod, they converted all of them to rear-wheel drive so they could drift easier! Luckily, Mitsubishi themselves came through for the movie by sending them four cars intended for a rally team to be used for the movie. Now we can’t buy a new Evo today, but did you know that neither could Universal when they made 2 Fast 2 Furious? Yeah, the Evo hadn’t hit American shores yet…
Today, it’s pretty tough to put a price tag on an R34 in America, seeing as how you can’t legally own them. But a rough estimate is you’re not even getting in the door without at least six figures.Ĭheck out the “Bayside Blue Forbidden Fruit” t-shirt on the Ideal store!īrian’s 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Product Placement Blog Now, when they decided to go R34, they didn’t just use Craig’s, they bought four more! Spending an extra quarter million bucks on R34 GTR’s but they weren’t done! For the bridge jump scene they bought one more and gutted it, outfitted it with safety equipment and more.Īll told, they likely spent well over $300,000 on Skylines to make the film, which is actually less than the Bayside Blue R34 Paul Walker owned. It wasn’t the first choice for the movie either, it was actually going to be a Dodge Neon SRT-4, which thankfully never happened.
Hey Craig, we know you’re reading! Go check out his YouTube channel, his videos are really informative and SUPER interesting!Ĭraig bought his R34 for $78,000 in 2001 which is over $114,000 in 2020 money! Worth it! The GT-R you see in the movie was originally purchased by the film’s technical director Craig Liebermann before Universal even announced a sequel to the first F&F. Yes, the BEST car of the movie is the FIRST car in the movie, and isn’t even one of the hero cars. If you want to know about EVERY car that they used in 2 Fast 2 Furious, we’re going to tell you! This is the cost of every car from 2 Fast 2 Furious! One of the cars on the list was so important they actually got four stunt doubles for it! Another car was even equipped with an ejector seat! With a budget of $76 million for the second film in the series, they certainly had a lot of dough to spend on some dope driving machines. You like seeing what kind of swagged-out sports cars they’re going to pull up in.
