If you are a fan of the Fast & Furious movies, do you remember a drag race scene in the first movie between a Toyota Supra and Ferrari F355 Spider? Obviously, the hero (Paul Walker) wins the race in the end with Vin Diesel in the passenger seat. The same car has recently been auctioned for huge $550,000 (PKR 86,598,380), showing the fanbase of Paul Walker and this car.

Modifications: 

The car was built by an aftermarket tuner in California, painted in an original Lamborghini sourced orange colour with a lot of vinyl decals on the body, out of which the most famous is the one of the side known as the “Nuclear Gladiator”. TRD bonnet, large rear wing, front splitter, side skirts and special 19″ wheels are part of the built.

This specific car was used in all the interior and exterior movie shots with Paul Walker behind the wheel. The movie producer used two same orange colour Supra cars in the first movie. One was the stunt car while the other was the hero car as here.
