HW Fast & Furious – 1995 Mazda RX-7 (4/5) | Silver Series

Description

The Mazda RX-7 holds a special place in Fast & Furious history as one of the earliest cars associated with Dominic Toretto, driven before the franchise’s later shift toward American muscle. In the opening street race sequence of the original 2001 film, Dom races Brian O’Conner’s Mitsubishi Eclipse in a red 1993 Mazda RX-7 FD, easily matching Brian’s nitrous boost with his own and winning decisively. Technical advisor Craig Lieberman, who selected and modified the car for filming, rented the vehicle from a private owner rather than building it specifically for the movie, giving this early hero car a genuinely authentic tuner pedigree behind the scenes.

Modifications on the film car included a VeilSide USA aero body kit, an RX-7 GT rear wing, Lexan headlight covers, and matching VeilSide wheels, paired with the RX-7’s factory twin turbo rotary engine boosted further with a 4 bottle nitrous system. It remains the only tuner car Dominic Toretto is ever seen driving or racing across the entire franchise, making it a genuinely unique piece of Fast & Furious history for collectors who remember Dom’s roots in the Los Angeles import racing scene before his character became inseparable from the Dodge Charger.

Hot Wheels honors this early franchise icon as part of its Fast & Furious Silver Series, officially licensed by Universal City Studios. This casting captures the RX-7’s smooth, rotary powered sports car silhouette and tuner styling, finished with the metallic tones the Silver Series is known for, giving collectors an accurate 1:64 scale tribute to Dom’s original street racing machine.
