Vin Diesel and his Dodge Charger costar in 'F9' UniversalVeteran movie car coordinator Dennis McCarthy has worked on many of the biggest films and franchise of all time, from Marvel Black Panther, Avengers Infinity War to DC Man of Steel, Birds of Prey to the Fast saga every installment since 2 Fast 2 Furious.But he can describe the basic function of his job in the simplest of terms. “It’s really just trying to put the right cars in the right place, and with the right character,” he says. McCarthy works with key figures like the screenwriter, director and stunt coordinator to figure out not only which cars to pair with specific scenes and actors but also what mechanical modifications are required to ensure the vehicles can achieve what the filmmakers need for the film is especially essential, then, on a film like this summer’s F9, the latest high-octane adventure with speedsters Dominic Toretto Vin Diesel and family that makes its on-demand premiere what better expert to break down the back stories behind two of the biggest vehicular stars of F9 as Yahoo Entertainment presents exclusive 3D augmented-reality renderings of the film’s Dodge Charger Wide Body and Dodge Charger Hellcat — two of the nine Chargers McCarthy and his 12-person team built for the film — which you can virtually place in your family Charger Wide Body“The 1968 mid-engine Hellcat charger is a completely scratch-built car. That’s something that's really a one of a kind — well, I should say in our case, it’s actually two of a kind, because we built two mid-engine Hellcat Chargers. The other seven were powered by a different engine up under the hood. And we had a fiberglass dummy Hellcat motor behind the driver’s seat. But that was really just something that came up because I’m trying to find something that hasn't been done or that we haven't done because we’ve built so many Chargers through the course of this franchise. I wanted something different, basically.“So the whole styling cue on that car is kind of like a ’60s Le Mans race car the knockoff wheels, the style of the gauges, the upholstery on the seats. I tried to [give] the car kind of a period feel, until you look through the rear glass and see what's powering it, which is obviously some serious modern muscle there with a six-speed transaxle. But I think out of all the Chargers we built, that's definitely my favorite.”Dodge Charger Hellcat“For the Act 1 Charger, I think we started off with a 2018 Charger and we actually created our own wide-body cars. … In the movie car, we actually had some Dodge Demons leftover from Fast 8 [2017’s The Fate of the Furious]. So we basically took all those wide-body parts and cut, diced, sliced, molded, basically built our own. … And we adapted the Dodge Demon hood. There's basically one hero car [the primary vehicle featured on camera and the basis for all the alternate stunt models] that does have an actual Hellcat motor, and we actually transplanted a Challenger 6 Speed into that car. … We really wanted the clutch, the manual-shift car feature, so we basically had to build our own, with the help of Dodge.“But beyond that, it’s a really great picture car because we don't have to do that much to it. Even most of the stunt cars are just the regular SRT model, which still has more than enough horsepower. They have great brakes, basically everything you’d want in a performance car. The one hero car, the way it’s featured in the film is obviously extra cool because it has the actual Hellcat motor with the six-speed and we did the Dodge Demon tune on it. So it’s really about 800 horsepower at the flywheel.”F9 is now available on demand.

CONCORD N.C. (WBTV) - Marking the 20th anniversary of the first film in the legendary “The Fast and the Furious” saga, Charlotte Motor Speedway will showcase the car that launched the iconic franchise at the Charlotte AutoFair, Sept. 9-11. More than two decades after first appearing on the silver screen, the Fast and Furious franchise is theWisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance Group has unleashed a mid-engine, Hellcat-powered 1969 Dodge Charger. Dubbed "Hellacious," it's the road-going version of a car that will appear in the latest "Fast and Furious" movie, "F9," driven by Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto. SpeedKore supplied nine chassis and bodies for filming, but unlike those cars, Hellacious was built for road use, the company said. That's not always the case with movie cars. The supercharged Hellcat V-8 is mounted in a custom frame, sending 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a Graziano gated-manual transaxle from a Lamborghini Gallardo. To accommodate the mid-engine configuration, SpeedKore fabricated a custom exhaust system using MagnaFlow components, ending in downward-facing tips. A front-mount Saldana radiator keeps the engine cool, while rear-mounted intercoolers handle cooling duties for the supercharger. SpeedKore Hellacious has double A-arm front suspension and double-wishbone rear suspension, with an aftermarket steering rack and shocks to improve handling. The mid-engine muscle car rides on center-lock wheels with 275/35R18 front and 345/35R18 rear tires. Stopping power is provided by Brembo 6-piston calipers up front and dual Brembo 4-piston calipers at the rear. The car also has a hydraulic handbrake for maximum sideways action. Like SpeedKore's previous Charger builds, Hellacious sports a carbon-fiber body. This time though, SpeedKore gave the car a wide-body look, while keeping the original hideaway headlights. The interior is Spartan, with racing buckets and harnesses, a roll hoop, and a simple aluminum dashboard. This isn't the first SpeedKore Charger to appear in a "Fast and Furious" movie. The company's 1970 Charger "Tantrum" appeared in "Furious 7," and returns alongside Hellacious for "F9," which is now in theaters. 148 sur 91 résultats pour"fast and furious dodge charger" RÉSULTATS En apprendre plus sur ces résultats. Jada Toys - 97059bk - Véhicule Miniature - Modèle À L'échelle - We still have over two months before Fast And Furious 6 will be in movie theaters, and for a car enthusiast that seems like eons to wait. To tide you over until then, we've decided to take a closer look at some of the vehicles that will be starring in the movie. To date, most of the vehicles featured in the Fast And Furious franchise have been modified American muscle cars or Japanese tuner cars. For the sixth installment of the series there's a bit of a shift; while there's still a focus on American muscle, there's also a large assortment of old-school European muscle cars featured. BenSopra Nissan GT-R from Fast and the Furious 6 - Image SP Engineering From the start, everyone's wondering what Dominic Toretto played by Vin Diesel will be driving. The answer is a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona replica. While it looks the part, the vehicle isn't actually a high-dollar Charger Daytona, as the pop-up headlights would be too expensive to fix after every stunt. Other subtle changes include a slightly shorter rear wing and nose, and under the hood you'll find an LS3 small-block V8 from General Motors. That's nothing short of sacrilege for Mopar purists. Dominic also ends up driving a 2011 Dodge Challenger in the beginning of the movie, and a 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda at the end of the movie. The Challenger is the same car he drove during the ending of the fifth movie, while the 'Cuda sports a massive old-school Hemi with an independent suspension and a Jaguar rear end. Fast and Furious 6 As you'd imagine, Brian O'Connor played by Paul Walker is back in the seat of a Nissan GT-R. At the beginning of the film he appears in a stock 2012 Nissan GT-R, but by the end of the film we hear he's upgraded to a blue beast with more than 1,000 horsepower. Moving to some European muscle we find a 1970 Ford Escort RS2000. The seven of these used in the film were all pretty much stock outside of some roll cages and stripped interiors. Under the hood, you'd still find the car's original engine. Letty played by Michelle Rodriguez returns to the crew in a 1971 Jensen Interceptor. Four Interceptors were used to make the movie, and all four were powered by LS3 V8s from General Motors. Fast and Furious 6 There's a total of nine Ford Mustangs used throughout the film, one of which dies a pretty gruesome death courtesy of a tank according to the movie trailer. Some of the Mustangs were 1969 models, and a few of them were 1970s modified to look like '69s. The thing that's sure to get fans in an uproar are the General Motors LS3 V8 engines under the hoods of these ponies, too. We hear the bad guys in the movie will be driving a 2010 BMW M5. It took 14 of these cars to make the movie, so most of them ended up being dressed up 540i or 535i models, for the sake of cost. Fortunately, the producers ran out of money or inspiration before they could stuff LS3s in these cars, too. In the fifth movie a pair of Dodge Charger SRT8s played a large role, and it seems that this will also be the case for the sixth installment. You can see in the movie's trailer that a 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 pulls down a cargo plane while another one literally bursts through the plane's front compartment. As for exotics, a 2006 Aston Martin plays a supporting role. Can't wait to see the movie on May 24th? Why not watch the trailer just one more time, or maybe five.

At this point it's impossible to deny the appeal of the Fast & Furious franchise, with the latest film, Fate of the Furious, delivering the biggest box office opening ever. Keeping that in mind, it's weird that there aren't more companies trying to deliver multiple tie-ins with a major franchise across every accessible medium. As it would happen, however, Universal Games and Digital Platforms, in partnership with SMG Studio, have released a new mobile game based on the fast-paced franchise known as Fast & Furious Takedown. With a focus on crazy tracks that shift the action off of the streets and onto a menagerie of out-there locales, Fast & Furious Takedown looks to be an exhilarating take on the series. It also appears as if players will be able to take control of several vehicles as they rush around a wide range of tracks in the hopes of winning races and, presumably, bragging rights. Related Fast and Furious 20 Things That Make No Sense About Dom Toretto The game encourages users to bomb through various environmental hazards during play, ensuring that the mayhem and destruction that follows Vin Diesel and friends on the big screen handily makes the transition to mobile platforms. Best of all, the game is available to download completely free-of-charge right now, meaning that players can explore the world of the films without having to actually... well, watch them. Not a bad deal at all, truthfully. As for the vehicles confirmed for the finished product, it looks as if Dom's iconic Dodge Charger will be front and center for the mobile game. If that weren't enough for fans of the blockbuster series, there are also several other legendary vehicles present in Takedown that can be driven - a total of 60 licensed cars. Additionally, and despite the emphasis on out-there racing, the mobile aspect of the finished product should ensure that it remains widely accessible to a new audience. There's more to Takedown than just racing too, as there will be "missions, epic stunts, fierce chopper pursuits, and more" awaiting players. It sounds like a lot to handle already, but the free mobile game will also have Versus Leagues for anyone that wants to vent some frustration by going head-to-head with others online. With plenty of Fast & Furious films still in development, there's sure to be more content arriving for the mobile game in due time. For example, the Hobbs and Shaw spinoff is well underway at Universal Pictures, so it's possible that fans may even be treated to new vehicles that tie into that release sooner rather than later.

FASTAND FURIOUS - BUILD THE DODGE CHARGER R/T PARTWORK 1:8 SCALE = # 46 WE WILL BE STOCKING AND LISTING ALL RELEASED ISSUES PLEASE BOOKMARK OUR SHOP The first teaser trailer for the newest Fast and Furious film just debuted, so what better time to look back at what made the original movie so special? Dominic Toretto's Dodge Charger remains one of the film's most iconic cars. Here's the full story behind how it came to Lieberman, one of the original film's senior producers, put together a video for YouTube breaking down Dom's badass muscle car. There were a total of five Chargers built for the set, three of which were stunt cars. Two of the stunt cars were used in the climactic drag race scene—one for pulling off the wheelie at the start, and another to crash into a semi truck after the race was over. The third was used in the scene where Dom slides his car into one of Johnny Tran's motorcycle star car was a 1969 model, but used parts from '68 and '70 cars, according to Lieberman. When Dom introduces it to Brian O'Conner in his garage, this is the only time we get to see its real engine—the Chuck Taylor Racing Engines-built motor was borrowed just for that scene, and returned to the shop once it was filmed. Perhaps the most controversial part about Dom's Charger is that all the V-8 sound you hear wasn't actually coming from a car, but from another Hemi V-8 that was previously recorded. Lieberman points out that the sound doesn't include the supercharger whine you'd normally hear from an engine like this. We'll never be able to watch The Fast and the Furious the same way again. TheFast and the Furious franchise has made some of the greatest car movies of all time, and the first movie from the series is the best one.

The Dodge Charger became one of the most iconic cars in the franchise, with Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto driving some form of Charger in almost every subsequent movie. Craig Lieberman, technical advisor for "The Fast and the Furious" has the full story on that original Charger. Four or five cars were used in filming, according to Lieberman. Most were 1970 models, but at least one car was a 1969 Charger, he said. As is often the case in movies, different cars are modified for specific stunts or shots. The massive supercharged engine seen when Toretto first reveals the Charger was borrowed from a Midwest engine builder and only used for one closeup shot, according to Lieberman. The alcohol-injected engine was based on a 1950s-era 392 Hemi V-8, but was bored and stroked to 445 cubic inches. Drag race scene from 'The Fast and the Furious' However, that engine was only for show. The cars did use Mopar engines, but they were either 383 or 440 V-8s, Lieberman said, noting that there is still some confusion over which engines were used. The sounds used in the movie are from a naturally aspirated Hemi. The lack of supercharger whine is a giveaway. The superchargers seen on the cars in the rest of the movie are fake too, as is the wheelie Toretto pulls in the final drag race. The car was lifted up using nitrogen tanks, and smoke was added to make things more dramatic. At the end of the race the Charger was flipped using a hidden ramp. At least two of the cars survived intact, according to Lieberman. One is owned by Universal Pictures and another is in a private collection in Italy. A wrecked stunt car also appeared at a Mecum auction in 2015. As for future films, a second-generation Charger can be glimpsed in the trailer for "Fast and Furious 9" whose release has been delayed until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
