FILM NEED FOR SPEED 7 MOVIE
Don’t worry, no real supercars were hurt during the making of NfSĪll the supercars used in the movie for action sequences and which are crashed are fake. Nah, the movie car topped out at 190mph (306kph), but is still extremely fast, but slightly down on the actually production 2013 Shelby GT500 which Ford claims gets just over 200mph (322kph).Ĥ.
Can the hero Mustang really do over 230mph (370kph) ? How many times has the Ford Mustang appeared in a movie?Īccording to Ford, this movie marks around the 3000th appearance of a Mustang in a feature movie – might have to go count them on The Internet Movie Car Database to be sure… 3. Eight were made in total employed for everything to close-up hero shots, driving stunts, and even a model reinforced so it could be hung long-ways from a helicopter. Of course they didn’t just build one for the movie. The entertainment system was replaced with an iPad. The side mirrors were replace with cameras which throw up full-colour images in a heads-up display projected onto the windscreen which can be seen in the movie – and seems a very good idea actually (car makers take note). However it does employ signature Shelby design cues such as the blue stripes.įord designer, Melvin Betancourt, is responsible for the design and the car was built by Techno Sports in Detroit who gave it a wider body, 20-inch alloys, heavy duty suspension, Bilstein shocks and thicker sway bars. In fact Shelby was indeed working on a 50th anniversary edition of the Mustang when he died, but the car in the movie is completely fictional. In the movie the hero car, a Shelby Mustang, is claimed to be the last car that the legendary Carroll Shelby ( don’t know who that is?! Click here now!) was working on with Ford before his death at the age of 89 in 2012 capable of producing over 900bhp. The Hero Car – a 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang Full-on car porn movies don’t come along too often, so never miss an opportunity to catch one at the cinema!īut as the resident motoring expert in amongst your friends, you’ll want to be able to keep interrupting the screening to loudly impress your friends with all the background knowledge you have about the movie: ‘that’s a replica’ ‘he really did that’ and ‘they used a Ferrari in this movie too, but you’ll never see it, here’s why…’.ġ.
FILM NEED FOR SPEED 7 SERIES
If you haven’t seen Scott Waugh directed Need for Speed movie yet, as a self-respecting car enthusiast and reader of this website, go and rectify that at once! This is based on the hugely successful Need for Speed gaming series and stars Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul as street racer and garage owner Tobey Marshall (yes there’s an ‘e’ in Tobey for some reason). If not for the cars then watch it for Imogen Poots!
