That lime-green Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII from 2 Fast 2 Furious? Yeah, the one Paul Walker’s character tore up the streets with? It just crushed records, becoming the priciest Mitsubishi ever sold at auction. Bonhams’ “The Movie Cars Collection” in France saw it fetch a staggering €291,200—nearly $338,000 U.S. after fees. Not bad for a glorified stunt car, huh?
This wasn’t just any Evo. One of four prepped for filming, it stood out as the main stunt rig, packing legit performance mods: a 330-horsepower setup built for the movie’s high-octane chaos. And buyers noticed—it smashed right into Bonhams’ sweet-spot estimate, proving film cars aren’t just nostalgia props. They’re serious collector bait now.
The auction was a gearhead’s dream, stacked with screen-used rides and Hollywood clones. Fast & Furious fans shelled out big: a Dodge Charger from Furious 7 went for €190,400, while a battle-scarred Mustang from John Wick 2 grabbed €123,200. But the real shocker? A ’73 Chevelle from Drive, hardly a blockbuster, still pulled €61,600. Turns out Ryan Gosling’s vibes—and that scorpion jacket—add value.
Fast & Furious metal keeps gaining steam. Last year, Walker’s green Eclipse from the original flick sold for $170,500. Before this Evo’s payday, the Mitsubishi crown belonged to a mint U.K.-spec Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition, which went for £146,250 in 2021.
Bottom line? Film cars aren’t just props—they’re gold. And when it comes to Fast & Furious, fans aren’t just buying cars. They’re buying a slice of adrenaline-fueled history.
