Fast And The Furious 1994 Toyota Supra sells for $550,000

If Brian O’Conner knew that his lurid orange Supra would one day fetch a whopping $550,000 (£393,000), we don’t think he would’ve been so keen to give it away to his fellow petrolhead Dom Toretto at the end of the original Fast and the Furious flick, even if he did owe him a 10 second car!

But this is not a movie, this is real life and that was the actual price paid for the car when it went to auction in Las Vegas recently. Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, California, built the vehicle which was used in the fi lm for the interior and exterior shots and driving sequences with Paul Walker behind the wheel, but admits that, unlike its portrayal on-screen, this is no fi re breathing modified monster, but a standard 2JZ GTE with a four-speed automatic gearbox. We know that prices of JDM cars have been going a bit wild recently – we saw a factory fresh EK9 Civic reach £71k and a genuine Kenmeri GT-R make a staggering £388k – but this is just insane!
