Lot 841: 1993 Mazda RX7
The George Barris Collection, Bonhams & Butterfields (14th May 2005)
The Fast & The Furious
Universal, 2001
Rotary engine, twin turbo, manual transmission, with Veilside Japanese rims, currently unavailable in the United States.
This RX7 was used in the film and driven by Vin Diesel. In the main drag sequence pitting Walker’s Eclipse against Diesel’s RX7, the interior shots of the cars were actually in stationary vehicles.
This is the stunt RX7 actually used in the external shots and driven by Vin Diesel in, among other scenes, the escape from the police following the drag race. One tip-off is that the car has roller wheels installed under the front spoiler so that when Diesel pushes it hard up into the steep incline of the parking garage, the front end sustains no damage. The interior of the car is tricked out, and sports functional and non-functional gauges and a prop nitrous set up. Acquired by George Barris and exhibited in a number of car shows.
