One of the Toyota Supras that appeared in the first two Fast and Furious movies is headed to auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas this June. Instantly recognizable for fans of the series, the car is finished in candy orange-peel paint and features the Troy Lee-designed “Nuclear Gladiator” graphic along the side.

History of the 'Fast And Furious' Supra

According to the auction website, the car is a 1994 Toyota Supra MK IV that was used for multiple interior and exterior shots during filming of the original 2001 movie, and was then brought back in modified form for 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious.

According to Craig Lieberman, who supplied the “Hero 1” car for the movie, there are typically multiple vehicles behind the scenes for every one that appears in a movie. This particular Supra was designated as “Stunt 1” in the film.

“You have to remember that when car movies are made, for every one car that appears on-screen, there are several clones of that car that serve as backups,” he said. “Clones are needed as backups for stunts, special effects, process cars, and others are used for close-ups or interior shots.”

In total, eight Supras were used to make the original film. While the principle “Hero” cars were rented by Universal Studios and then returned to their owners, leftover cars were re-purposed for the second film.

Modifications to the car include a Bomex front spoiler and side skirts, TRD-style hood, APR aluminum biplane rear wing, and 19-inch Dazz Motorsport M5 Tuner wheels. It's powered by the factory twin-turbocharged 2JZ-GTE 3.0L inline-6 cylinder engine that sends power to a four-speed automatic transmission.

This car has remained in good condition as told by Lieberman. “Stunt cars usually have a rough life, but this wasn’t one of them,” he said. “In the first film, most of the stunts were just flybys, hard cornering, and the usual moderate speed, e-brake u-turn kind of thing.”

Although it was a stunt car, the vehicle was actually driven by the late, great actor Paul Walker in the film, according to Lieberman who was present during filming.

“There is a scene where Paul is chasing Johnny Tran, and he slides to a stop … he sticks his arm out the window and fires off a few rounds at Tran … Paul was actually behind the wheel at that particular time,” he said.
