Description
The 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is arguably the single most iconic car in the entire Fast & Furious franchise, serving as Dominic Toretto’s signature vehicle across nearly every film in the series. According to the films, the Charger was built by a young Dominic alongside his father, who was later killed in a stock car racing accident. Dom initially refuses to drive the car out of fear, only returning to it once Brian O’Conner earns his trust. From that point on, the black Charger becomes inseparable from Dom’s character, appearing in dramatic set pieces throughout the franchise, including a memorable off road chase sequence in Furious 7 where the car is modified with parts from a military jeep for added weight and traction.
In the films, Dom’s Charger is said to produce a fictional 900 horsepower, with his father having set a quarter mile record of nine seconds flat in the same car at the Los Angeles County Raceway. In reality, genuine 1970 Charger R/T models equipped with the legendary 426 Hemi V8 were extremely rare, with only 112 built that year, meaning filmmakers actually modified several 1968 and 1969 Chargers to visually match the 1970 model for use throughout the series. The Dodge Charger itself has a long history as a Hollywood favorite, having previously starred as the villain’s car in the 1968 film Bullitt before finally getting its turn as a hero car in the original 2001 Fast & Furious film.
Hot Wheels honors this franchise defining muscle car as part of its Fast & Furious Silver Series, officially licensed by Universal City Studios. This casting captures the Charger’s long hood, muscular rear haunches, and aggressive stance, finished with the metallic tones the Silver Series is known for, giving collectors an accurate 1:64 scale take on one of the most recognizable movie cars of all time.
