The modified, screaming orange Toyota Supra that became famous for its explosive appearance in the early "Fast and Furious" films is heading the auction block.
A 1994 model, the suped-up Supra made its debut in the first “The Fast and the Furious” film in 2001, and a second run in the sequel, “2 Fast 2 Furious,” where the re-cooked beast received its nickname, “Slap Jack’s Supra.”
For "Fast and Furious" fans, this would be a bittersweet addition to their collection. The auction obviously takes on deeper meaning, as the car was driven in the films by Brian O’Conner, who was portrayed by actor Paul Walker, who passed away in 2013 in a car accident.
According to CNN, the dream muscle car is a factory model with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine and a four-speed automatic transmission. In other words - it’s really fast.
The car will be up for sale with no reserve as part of automobile auction house Barrett-Jackson's June 17-19 auction in Las Vegas. They have "extensive documentation" and a certificate of authenticity to prove the car was used for multiple interior and exterior shots in the movies.
It'll no doubt bring a hefty price from some major action flick fan out there.
The "Fast and Furious" series has racked up billions in the box office and became one of the most popular in history with a line of eight movies, two official shorts, and “Better Luck Tomorrow” (2002), a kind of prequel for the character Han Lue.
