You would think that after 9 movies and 20 years in cinemas, Vin Diesel’s favourite car from the Fast & Furious series would keep changing. But that’s not the case as Diesel recently revealed that his favourite car is one from the first instalment. And it’s not the iconic Dodge Charger.
YouTuber Supercar Blondie recently caught up with the Fast and Furious franchise star amid Fast 9 promotions to ask him about his favourite car from the movies.
Diesel answered that his favourite is still the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS he drove during the post-credits scene of the first movie. He explained that while the Charger has sentimental value to him, the Chevelle still held a special place in his heart.
But what is more surprising is that despite the advancement in automotive technology, Diesel still stuck to classics like the Chevelle and the Charger although he did lament that he should have picked the Lykan when Fast 7 ended.
And yes, it has been confirmed by Vin Diesel himself that he doesn’t own a Lykan despite rumours on the internet.
In case you’re wondering where did the Chevelle appear in The Fast and the Furious, it was in the post-credit scene where Diesel was cruised his way to Mexico. Don’t worry, not many knew that there was a post-credit scene in Fast 1 either.
There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
