As the final two Fast & Furious movies are being filmed, one spy has caught some vehicles being unloaded at LAX.


The star cars from the final instalment in the Fast & Furious movie franchise have reportedly been spotted at Los Angeles Airport.

The next two films – to be named Fast X Part One and Two – were already known to feature a Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody, a Lamborghini Gallardo, and an Alfa Romeo 2000 GT, as well as the iconic 1970 Dodge Charger Hellraiser owned by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel).

But now images have emerged online which show a yellow widebody Datsun 240Z (badged as the Fairlady Z in Japan), complete with fender mirrors and a turbo peeking out of the bonnet – which is likely to feature as a hero car in the F&F finale. As is usual, an identical backup car has also been built for stunt driving.



It’s understood both parts of Fast X are being filmed back-to-back, with releases slated for early 2023 and early 2024.

It’s unclear whether a Mercedes-AMG SL, a camouflaged AMG C63, a Volkswagen Golf, and a Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake fitted with official VW Germany number plates – all photographed adjacent to the movie cars at LAX – are actually part of the film, or if they just happened to be on the same cargo flight.



Alternatively, the number plates suggest some of these European cars may have been brought over to help set a scene in Germany, despite being shot on LA streets or at a Hollywood studio.

An official trailer has yet to be released for Fast X Part One, but we do know Louis Leterrier has replaced Justin Lin as director.



Vin Diesel has also hinted on social media that the character of Brian O’Conner – played by actor Paul Walker, who died in a car accident in 2013 – could make a return.
