At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a 1992 Mazda RX-7 FD VeilSide Fortune Coupé, driven by Han Lue in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, sold for £911,000—around $1.23 million. This wasn’t just any RX-7; it was one of only two remaining from the 2006 film, a car that brought Japanese car culture to the big screen.
Starting as a sleek FD-generation RX-7, already loved for its rotary engine and lines, this car was transformed by VeilSide Co. Ltd., a Japanese tuning shop, for Universal Studios. The Fortune widebody kit reworked nearly everything, leaving only the roof and tailgate untouched. Stretched almost 8 inches wider with massive fenders and 10-inch rear tires, it was a work of art. The orange and black paint job demanded attention, while 19-inch Andrew Premier Series Racing Evolution 5 wheels with Pirelli P Zero Nero tires gave it a mean stance. Inside, VeilSide bucket seats, carbon fibre and a shiny (but unconnected) NOS bottle added to the movie star vibe.

What sets this RX-7 apart, beyond the looks, is its place in history. Tokyo Drift wasn’t just another Fast and Furious movie—it started a global drifting phenomenon. Han’s RX-7, with the iconic VeilSide kit, was the symbol of that moment.
Used for static shots and stunts (but not the actual drifting), it was the car of the most memorable scenes. The #71 HANS labels on the passenger door, engine bay and scuttle are still there, along with faint camera mount scratches to prove its time on set. Of the nine RX-7s built for the movie, only two remain, making this a piece of car and film history.
This is the bigger picture. Movie cars are now serious collectibles and prices are going through the roof as nostalgia kicks in. The 1968 Mustang from Bullitt set the bar at $3.74 million but the RX-7 shows even newer cars can bring big money. The record sale isn’t just good for Mazda fans—it’s good for the Fast and Furious franchise.
