Any true fan could tell you that the Fast & Furious franchise isn’t really about cars, it’s about family. From the outside, the series looks like a non-stop ad for car manufacturers, so you might be surprised to get into it and realize how little the characters actually talk about their vehicles. Fortunately, the fans have done that for them. The cars of Fast & Furious have been meticulously catalogued by all kinds of metrics, including price, performance and which ones can apparently withstand a rocket launcher. For this list, I’ve simply pulled my favorites for what they mean to the Fast Saga and the Toretto family. Of course, that other information is in here too, just for fun. Read on for the top 10 cars in Fast & Furious so far.

Dom Torretto drives this suped up 1971 Plymouth GTX in The Fate of the Furious during the time when he has apparently gone rogue and betrayed his family. We see it in New York City, where his friends track him down and finally corner him on a busy street. They shoot grappling hooks out of their own cars to try and tether him in place, but Dom’s expert driving skills allow him to break free of all these steel cables and get away with the nuclear launch codes he was sent to retrieve.

This is the fastest car we ever see in the Fast & Furious franchise, with a top speed of 269 miles per hour. During their struggle with Dom, the characters actually speculate about how much horsepower it has — 2,000? 3,000? 5,000?! As with all these cars, it’s hard to say for sure how much THIS one would cost with all the modifications and enhancements Dom has presumably made, but at the time of this writing the average sale price for this car is about $70,000.

#9 – McLaren 720S (2019 Model)

This car made the list exclusively for the outrageous stunts in pulled off in Hobbs & Shaw. The spinoff strayed a lot from the car-focused plots of the main series, but the scene where Deckard drives it through London with his sister Hattie and Luke Hobbs in it with him might be the four-wheeled highlight. We see him drive it under not one, but two 18-wheelers passing each other in opposite directions, yet even this isn’t enough to lose the motorcycle tailing them.

The vehicle makes a sharp turn, spinning a complete 180 degrees to confront its chaser. Its aerodynamic design launches the motorcyclist over the hood, sending him crashing into a nearby double-decker bus. Meanwhile, Hobbs reaches out of the window at high speed, seizing a cyclist by the throat before tossing him into another cyclist as they zoom by. This thrilling scene perfectly showcases Deckard's selection of cars on this list. Currently, the average market price for a 2019 McLaren 720s is approximately $287,000.

#8 – 2010 Koenigsegg CCX-R

The swaggering attempts at humor in the Fast & Furious franchise doesn’t always land, but the introduction of the Koenigsnegg at the end of Fast Five is one of the exceptions. After the heist is all said and done and the crew is now rich beyond their wildest dreams, Roman drives this car up to Tej’s garage to show off a bit. He brags: “There’s only four of those cars in the whole world. Yeah, I got the only one in the Western Hemisphere.” Tej is unimpressed, and we soon see why — he has the exact same car, complete with a girl in the passenger seat as well. One of these sold for $2.6 million at auction back in 2017.

Fast & Furious shows a lot of love to sleek sedans, while Dwayne Johnson’s character Luke Hobbs is the only one to prefer hulking trucks. His armed Navistar MXT is practically a tank, plowing through obstacles including other cars and weather head-on shots from some serious firearms. We see him drive this around London in Fast & Furious 6, but it really gets its time to shine in The Fate of the Furious in NYC and then later in Russia, where it races against a literal nuclear submarine.

It's always amusing to spot this beast parked next to the other crew's compact racecars, perfectly embodying Hobbs' larger-than-life personality. With his military ties and custom modifications, it's hard to imagine just how much power and capability this vehicle possesses. Right from the start, the MXT boasts a Kevlar exterior, ensuring it can take quite a beating. This impressive machine is valued at approximately $129,000.

#6 – Pontiac Fiero (Equipped with Rocket)

Whatever your definition of “best cars” is, the Pontiac Fiero that Tej and Roman drive into outer space in F9 deserves its place on this list. The stunt was obviously a bit of a self-effacing joke from the franchise, but that didn’t stop them from going all-in on trying to make it make sense. The duo bicker their way into the atmosphere, though it’s unclear what becomes of their car after they’re saved by some astronauts. One of the cheaper cars on this list, it’s valued around $27,000 (without the rockets).

#5 – 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Taking it back to the beginning, it’s hard to imagine that a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse passed for high stakes when this franchise first got going. This is the loud green car that Brian O’Connor bets in a race against Dom while trying to win his favor in The Fast and the Furious. Although cars eventually fall into the background of this series, this lime green statement piece is definitely iconic. The cost for this one will run you about $80,000.

#4 – 2013 Lykan Hypersport

The Hypersport is the kind of thing most people probably think of when they think Fast & Furious. It’s the most expensive car in the series, and an object of intense lust for all of the main characters (sitting at $3.4 million). However, it lands on this list for the outrageous plot points surround it.

In Furious 7, the Hypersport is stored high in a skyscraper in Abu Dhabi by an unnamed sheik who covets it without truly wanting to drive it. Dom laments that it’s wrong to keep this “beast in a cage.” He and Brian are there to retrieve a device that has been secretly hidden in the underside of the car, so Dom nonchalantly lifts the vehicle up by the front end while Brian slides underneath. He holds it there for a shockingly long time, but their cover is blown at the last minute anyway and they need to make an escape.

Of course, they accomplish this by jumping into their car and racing around the towering skyscraper. They manage to dodge security quite effectively, but when Deckard Shaw arrives armed with a high-powered rifle, Dom hits the gas and speeds towards a large window. He and Brian leap the vehicle from one skyscraper to another, then make their getaway by leaping again to a lower skyscraper. These exhilarating jumps were prominently showcased in the film's promotional material, and they certainly live up to the hype.

#3 – 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline

Every car movie has to use the “bad car/expert driver” trope at some point, so maybe it’s a wonder that this is the only one on this list. We see this rusted out old Fleetline in the opening scene of The Fate of the Furious, when Dom and Letty are visiting Dom’s cousin in Cuba and attending a car show there. It belongs to Dom’s cousin, Fernando, but it’s about to be repossessed by a local hustler named Raldo. In a last ditch effort to save the car, Dom challenged Raldo to a race, then quickly enhances the Fleetline with “Cuban NOS” attached with the pull tab of a soda can, which he says is a trick he learned from Brian.

Dom crosses the finish line victorious, but his triumph comes at a cost as his car is engulfed in flames, crashing into the ocean. In a generous gesture, he hands over the keys to his beloved Impala, which he had brought along to the event, to Fernando. This dramatic moment highlights the brilliance of Cuban mechanics, even if it comes at the expense of the local environment. The classic 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline is valued at approximately $25,000.

#2 – 1995 Toyota Supra MK IV Model

I was very close to giving the top spot to Brian’s 1995 Toyota Supra MK IV. Not only is this the last car we see Paul Walker’s character drive, it’s featured heavily in his heartfelt send-off scene at the end of Furious 7 when he and Dom part ways — apparently for good. These movies are so tied up in grief for Walker — for fans and for the cast and crew — so it only makes sense to put his last ride on the list. However, in terms of price it doesn’t stand out here, with an average sale price of $106,000.

Ultimately, Dom's legendary 1968 Dodge Charger R/T stands out as the most prominent vehicle in the series, especially highlighted during the emotional farewell scene mentioned earlier. The cast and crew experienced profound grief over Walker's loss throughout the films, even choosing to keep his character alive despite the actor's untimely passing. This decision signifies that, in many respects, the legacy of those he left behind carries more weight in the series than Brian's absence. Additionally, I must admit that I share Dom's preference for American muscle cars over their imported counterparts. As of now, this classic vehicle has an average market price of $110,059.

The Fast & Furious movies are scattered across a few streaming services at the time of this writing, but you can start a binge-watch on Netflix and get pretty far. For those of us that live our lives a quarter mile at a time, that’s all we can ask for.
