Each and every one have seen all the series of movies of the fast and furious franchise which was screened in 2001 and the series has been made into eight different films till date. We’re hopefully expecting the ninth film in March, 2021. Out of all these films, one best film to come out of the series was the third instalment of The Fast and the Furious Franchise – Tokyo Drift which was released in 2006.
As Tokyo drift movie was famous for action, drifting, women and romance. But most importantly, its showstopper was undoubtedly the 200 cars, brought in from various parts around the world. For example; as right-hand drive vehicles were needed, Eleven Nissan 350Zs was brought from Paris. 10 units of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX cars, Toyota Chasers, Mitsubishi, Mazda RX7s and old Nissan Silvia are used as second-hand vehicles for racing and for fun.

They even brought a couple of Volkswagen Cars, four Volkswagen Golf R32s and Volkswagen Touran MPVs which gave a lot of bizarre modifications and jaw dropping performances.
A compiled list of some of the best Fast & Furious Tokya Drift Cars are listed below:
1. THE 1967 FORD MUSTANG
Mustang had been used by Sean Boswel in the film, which was a “piece of art” and has gained notoriety for being one of the most trustworthy vehicles ever. The V8 Tokyo Drift Mustang carries with it a yield of 375 HP and gave a speedy record of 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds and even ran the quarter-mile in about 14.7 seconds at around 96.7 mph. It contains a V8 motor from a 2001 Nissan Skyline RB 26 and the transmission of a 1998 Nissan Skyline 5speed 2wd.The vehicle has 245/35 R19 tires on the front and 275/35 R19 back Toyo proxes T1R tires, and Volk Racing Gray GT-7 also to keep the wheels off the ground.
2. THE 1970 PLYMOUTH ROADRUNNER GTX
The Plymouth Roadrunner is exquisite and is seen less in the film for two minutes of screen time at the end. The shot was made at the last possible moment so that clarifies why the vehicle must be leased rather than bought like the wide range of various vehicles in the film. It was driven by Torretto (played by Vin Diesel) who had won it from Han years back. The vehicle was obtained for the film from Steve Strope. It was built on TLC arrangement ‘Rides’.
3. THE 1971 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO
This vehicle was mostly seen during the primary quarter of the film. Two of the motors from the nine Monte Carlos used in the film are a 3509 cubic inch one with an amazing 560HP that can move from 0 to 60 mph in about 4.4 seconds. The other one is a Bill Mitchell 572 cubic inch machine that produces 700HP. The wheels are similarly amazing, being fit with Cragar 397 steel – a 15 inch wheel, fit with Wilwood slows down and folded over in a Goodyear Eagle Slick around all them. The force generally gets out from the back tires, so we did some burrowing and found that the tires in the front are 27×8 inches and those in the back are somewhat greater, being 27×10 inches
4. THE 2003 NISSAN 350Z
The Nissan 350Z was introduced after an outrageous baddie Nissan GTR. It was the coolest vehicle throughout the film as it was strong, simple and stuffed with power. In the film, the 350 promptly looks out as it wears a dark classy look. This vehicle accompanies a 6-speed transmission, which backs up to a Nismo Restricted slip differential permitting a speed of 5.7 seconds around its 60mph excursion. It is even ready to finish the quarter-mile in around 13.2 seconds at a speed of 114.8 mph. This drift car, 350Z has an APS twin-turbo framework with 3.5 litre HC24 Valve V6 motor with a yield of 450 HP.
5. 2006 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION IX
Sean Boswell used this vehicle and is said to be The “Legend” of the film. The director Justin Lin thought that the Evolution IX is brisk, smooth and is necessary to be a “fast and Furious” vehicle so he separated the front wheels from the drive train and presented it as a genuine drift vehicle. It utilizes a turbocharger, a 2.0 litre and a four-chamber motor to one side to stock. It has back springs and fitted with a PR white body pack to furnish them with a curiously large bumper, 19/8.5-inch Ray-G Games, 99B wheels, 255/35 R19 Toyo Proxes T1R Tires which is adjusted directing knuckles to accomplish an extra point and upsized the brakes with Brembo circles and calipers. Overall, it was a 286 pull infuriating machine.
6. 2006 MAZDA RX8
Neela, the female lead in Tokyo drift, drove the vehicle and finished equity to her job. Mazda RX8 is one of those vehicles which will stay faithful to you in the difficult situation (as extended by universal Pictures). The RX8 has a smooth Veilside D1-GT body unit. It posses 191 HP, 5500 RPM and it brings around 187-pound feet of force at 5150 RPM. The RX8 can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 6.7 seconds and complete the quarter-mile in about 14.9 seconds, maximizing a maximum velocity of 103.6 mph.
7. MAZDA RX7 VEILSIDE
Han used this car in the movie. The RX7 used in the film was Mazda’s and was modified by Veilside which is one of the biggest car organizations in Japan for the 2005 Tokyo Auto Salon. It delivers 306 HP at 6650 RPM and 256 LBS ft force at 5950 RPM. It finishes the arrangement 2 6 mph in 6 seconds and takes around 14.1 seconds to run the quarter-mile at a maximum velocity of 104.5 mph. The principal thing that they had changed the shading from lead to orange in the movie.
8.THE 2007 NISSAN SYLVIA S15
The dazzling Silvia was used by Han and sometimes by Sean. It comes with C-West DRFT Air Pack. The beast incorporates some advanced picture designs and a C-West provided GT wing and Ganador mirrors. The letters on the wheels were given a gigantic visual overhaul, with some 19-inch Volk GT 7 edges folded over the Toyo Proxes TR1 tires. In the movie towards the end, Han hands over his fortune to Sean and this wound up gravely as Sean drove pitiably in his first race at Tokyo.
