The 1994 Toyota Supra from the movie Fast and Furious, “began the call for the Barrett-Jackson auction house in Las Vegas, Monday’s auction of a car known mainly to fans of cinema racing.

Forty-year-old Walker died in a car accident in 2013, while filming the seventh sequel to the popular film series. However, his tuned car from the first part still breaks records today, even though he was not the only one in the picture.

“They made several Supra cars for the film. But this one is quite significant. They used it in many stunts in the film, “he added to the film car.

At the beginning of the week, Paul Walker’s car became the most expensive Toyota Supra ever sold in two parts of the Fast and Furious series, despite its year of production in 1994. It was auctioned for 555 thousand dollars, ie 11.82 million crowns.

Although Walker shifts manually in the film, the car actually has a four-speed automatic transmission masked by a manual shift head.

The Toyota Supra 1994 MK IV for Fast and Furious was made by Eddie Paul in El Segundo, California. The car also appeared in the second part, significantly modified as a “Slap Jack’s Supra” car with gold paint, modified bodykit and new graphics from another racer.
