Legendary RX-7 from “Tokyo Drift” Sold for $1.22 Million
Movie cars rarely remain functional years after filming, but this RX-7 was an exception. It not only preserved its appearance – it is a full-fledged sports car with the original turbocharged rotary engine, which recently underwent a major overhaul.
The car received a full set of updates before the sale, including a new brake system, suspension, and exhaust. A special feature remains the nitrous oxide system, which the new owner can reactivate. The interior is decorated with branded VeilSide seats and carbon elements.
“This is one of the two original cars used during the filming of the movie”
Despite some signs of wear, this RX-7 remains a unique specimen. Its historical value for fans of the “Fast & Furious” series and car culture in general has made it one of the most expensive movie cars ever sold at auction.
The new owner received not just a museum exhibit, but a full-fledged sports car ready to hit the track. This deal confirms that movie relics can be not only a part of film history but also valuable autonomous objects for collectors.
