The Fast and Furious continues to be a global juggernaut, and with the 11th film in the works, it will be some time till we will see the end of Dominic Toretto and his "family" on the big screen.
The franchise saw a boom in tuner car culture with the release of the first film and gave rise to a whole generation of fans. From unobtainable JDM rides, to making the Honda Civic EXs iconic "tuner" cars and threw the spotlight on a whole subculture. But the films didn't scrimp on good ole' American Muscle. GTXs. But we took a shine to this particular model from Jada Toys.
The 1970 Plymouth Road Runner makes it's first appearance in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift towards the end, driven by Dom and then raced against Sean in one of the scenes.
The car is seen again in the 2006 Fast & Furious and keeps appearing in both Furious 6 in 2013 and Furious 7 in 2015 albeit in a different paint job
Jada Toys has one of the most extensive Fast & Furious model ranges and they have recreated the Road Runner in exhaustive detail.
Gun metal speckled paint job covers the car. The chrome bits, though plastic, doesn't look plasticky, and features opening hood, trunk and boot.
The wheels are neatly done, with the multi-spoke twopiece rims covered in low, I mean low, profiles with thick disc brakes and red calipers showing through.
The engine bay and the interior isn't low brow by any standard. With its chrome accents, steering wheel, shifter and pedals, its one helluva model to complete your FnF collection.
