The Fast and The Furious movie franchise is now one of the biggest in Hollywood. There have been nine ‘Fast and Furious’ movies, with each bringing edge-of-your-seat driving stunts to our screens. Each film has tons of cars to choose from, and these are the best from the Fast and Furious movie franchise.
1994 Toyota Supra Mk IV
The first car we really get to know Brian O’Conner in is the 1994 Toyota Supra Mk IV. It becomes a rags to riches story for the car, which begins as a rusted model from a scrap dealer. Once it has been given the street racing makeover, the Supra becomes an instant hit. At the end of Dom and Brian’s iconic race in the first movie, we see Dom riding off into the sunset in this Supra as Brian throws him the keys to get away.
1970 Dodge Charger
One car which has earned cult status in the movies is the 1970s Dodge Charger driven by Dom Toretto. He struggles to tame this beast in the beginning, possibly because it puts out 900bhp, but now it’s basically the hero’s main ride. The car has appeared in four of the eight main ‘Fast and Furious’ movies and is known for doing a quarter-mile drag in under nine seconds.
1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34
Another of Brian’s most iconic cars is the 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. This car debuts in ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’ and is used in the scene where Brian famously jumps a bridge. The Nissan Skyline is one of the most iconic street racing cars in the world, and the Fast and Furious franchise made sure to pay homage to it in style.
Each of these cars makes you want to put the pedal to the metal and life your life one quarter-mile at a time. They are fast, furious, and the most memorable cars from the famous movie franchise.
3 Reasons Why the Porsche 911 Is an Almost Perfect Sports Car
If people go on YouTube right now and search for “best sports car shootout,” they can find Porsche 911 almost everywhere. The vehicle is a universally loved name, and it’s also a performer to the core. This is one of the many reasons why people always see it in race videos and comparisons. The car that is a close second is the Miata. In this article, people can find three reasons why the juggernaut from Stuttgart lives up to all the hype.
Porsche 911’s Uniqueness
The uniqueness of the Porsche 191 comes in several ways. Most obvious is the rear-engine layout. Installing the engine in the back was a great decision made by Porsche. This way, they could advertise their new sports car as one that “oversteers.” Back in the 1960s, sports cars and the average family vehicles were prone to atrocious handling and excessive understeer. The Porsche’s rear-engine layout allowed the back end to kick out under power in a corner and give the great feeling of sportiness.
The Engines
Porsche keeps their GT cars naturally aspirated. We hope that they will keep the tradition going for their future models. The engineers who work at Porsche have always been focused on what drivers want: power, revs, and sound. The 911’s flat-6 comes in a wide range of forms from a 3.0 Liter, to a 3.8, up to a 4.0 Liter motor. Each of them has its own features; however, all of them deliver power in a symphonic and smooth way that defines the whole 911’s driving experience
Steering/Handling
Making a vehicle that steers quickly is easy these days. Any old car manufacturer can slap a powerful electric motor on the steering box and make it respond quickly. However, what they cannot always achieve is delivering on steering and precise feel. Porsche has always had a great steering feel. Even the center dead spot is almost eliminated on the Porsche 911.
Ergonomics
The term “ergonomics” also speaks loudly in the interior of the Porsche 911. Even entry-level old cars like Cayman, Boxster, and 944 had high-quality leather and wonderfully comfortable interiors that cuddle the driver’s body while also making sure that they are planted in the event of a high-speed corner. Porsche is committed to its luxury standards.
