Forget Aaron Paul, this is the real star of the movie! A 900 HP Shelby Mustang !
At one point during the movie, the protagonists needs three identical car. So why not take 3 Koenigsegg Agera R?
Koenigsegg Agera R, this time in white.
The other Koenigsegg Agera R. This one plays a key role in the movie.
A Lamborghini Sesto Elemento. With its stealth plane look and mate paint, it is the perfect bad guy car.
A Bugatti Veyron SS. By the way, no supercars were harmed during the production of this movie. The prop team created tube chassis, and molded fiberglass bodies to make them look like multi-million dollars vehicule.
A McLaren P1, reduced to doing figuration.
ASaleen S7, also only there to look good. In this case, it does its job spectacularly well.
Speaking of figurants, here is a Porsche 944, and a BMW E9. Sadly the both of them only get a few seconds of screen time.
A GTA Spano. Never heard of it? Me neither. It is built in Spain, and uses a 900 HP V10 engine.
A Ford F-450, named The Beast. In the movie, it has a very particular purpose. it is used to... Go see the movie if you want to know!
The American Muscle fans are also represented. in the opening race, there are a few choice models, like this Pontiac GTO...
... And this Ford Gran Torino. With the exhausts supplied by Magnaflow, the sounds coming out of those big V8 is amazing!
No car movie would be complete without a few cops going up in flame! in this case, a Dodge Charger.
Behind the scenes: To film some action shots, the stuntmans had to drive the car from the cage in the back, while the actors had to pretend they were driving up front!
