Over the years, the Fast And Furious franchise has transformed itself from a mere street racing and car-n-stunts movie to an extremely ridiculous action film involving exotic locations, explosions, and, of course, cool rides.
The current production is taking place in Iceland which means all vehicles have been custom-designed to adapt to the country's snowy conditions. New pictures have recently emerged from the production set revealing the Fast and Furious 8's wild rides.
Here are the top five awesome rides (including tanks) in the upcoming installment (via IOL):
1. DODGE ICE CHARGER - Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel): Dom's classic muscle car gets a slight makeover with an altered wheelbase to match Iceland's slippery roads, fender flares, and bullet hole paintwork.
2. RALLY FIGHTER - Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez): Ortiz's mechanical alter ego gets a brush bar, roof-mounted lights, and a modified off-road coupe.
3. ICE RAM - Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson): Hobb's car is an all-American macho expression of power- the abominable Ice Ram.
4. RIPSAW - Tej Parker (Ludacris): Parker's supergeek mentality is manifested in his preference for an all-terrain combat vehicle over a fast car.
5. ORANGE LAMBORGHINI - Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) - The fast-talking and flashy Roman is matched by his orange Lamborghini Murcielago ride.
Directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton), the eight installment is the first of upcoming Fast and Furious trilogy ending with the franchise's tenth film. Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jason Statham will all reprise their roles. Some of Hollywood's big names will also join the cast, namely, of Charlize Theron, Kurt Russell, Scott Eastwood, and Helen Mirren.
As reported by Game Spot, Diesel previously announced the release dates of the franchise's last three films. The eighth installment is due to hit the theaters next year while the next two will arrive in 2019 and 2021. Meanwhile, he also revealed that there are also plans of producing spinoff films for Fast and Furious 8 characters.
"We've written out story lines for various characters," he said as per Variety. "We've been playing with it for a long time. It's a very rich property and we're committed to treating it with a lot of class."
