One of the most iconic cars from the The Fast and the Furious franchise was sold for an impressive amount. The 1992 Mazda RX-7 FD used in the film Tokyo Drift (2006) was sold for about US$ 1.2 million at a Bonhams auction.
The vehicle, driven by the character Han, played by Sung Kang, is one of the few original examples that survived the filming.
With a striking look, the RX-7 features a body kit from the Japanese tuner VeilSide Fortune, pearlescent orange paint, and 19-inch wheels. Adapted for the shoots, the car still shows cinematic usage marks such as camera mounts and identification tags. It is wider than the original model and only retains the factory roof and rear hatch.
Before the sale, the twin-rotor biturbo rotary engine was completely rebuilt by the renowned tuner RE-Amemiya. Despite having more than 100,000 kilometers driven, only 8,000 kilometers were covered after the maintenance.
With this million-dollar amount, the RX-7 surpasses the sale of Paul Walker’s Toyota Supra but still falls short of the actor’s 2000 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, which reached US$ 1.35 million in 2023.
