Toyota Supra From Fast And Furious Sold For A Record-Breaking $550,000

Remember the Toyota Supra from the Fast & Furious franchise that was offered by Barrett-Jackson? Well, the auction in Las Vegas is over and it sold for $550,000. This price makes it by far the most expensive Supra ever, a record that will probably hold for quite a while.

The 1994 Supra was offered with no reserve but everyone knew it would create a stir. It was inevitable, since this specific car appeared in the first two films of the popular series, “The Fast and the Furious” (2001) and “2 Fast 2 Furious” (2003)and was driven by late actor Paul Walker himself on set.

Unlike the identical-looking Supra sold in 2015 for $185,000 which had a naturally aspirated engine and fake nitro bottles, this one has the twin-turbocharged 2JZ-GTE 3.0-liter inline-six. It may have no additional modifications, but the legendary motor is good for around 320 hp (324 PS / 239 kW) and 315 lb-ft (427 Nm). Unfortunately, unlike what the movie suggested, power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox, although the gear knob was disguised for the interior shots to look like a manual.

What is 100 percent legit is the exterior and interior design of the car. The body is painted in Lamborghini’s Candy Orange with “Nuclear Gladiator” graphics by Troy Lee Designs and numerous sponsor decals. The Bomex bodykit includes the front bumper and side skirts, tastefully combined with the APR rear wing and the 19-inch Racing Hart M5 wheels.

Inside you will find all the stuff you saw in the film, including the three-spoke racing steering wheel, blue upholstery on the bucket seats and door cards, as well as extra gauges on the passenger side and the A-pillar.

The record-breaking Supra was built by Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, California. It was heavily modified for the second film where it appeared as Slap Jack’s Supra, but a little later they brought it back to its original condition. The new owner also received extensive documentation as well as a Certificate of Authenticity so he can prove that he doesn’t drive a replica.

Some may question the logic of spending more than half a million dollars for a Supra; however, this isn’t just any example but one of the most popular movie cars ever made. After all, who hasn’t watched the street race between Brian O’Conner’s Toyota Supra and Dominic Toretto’s Dodge Charger?
