"Fast 8" is currently in production, and the production team recently shared a few images of the movie's main cars on the official "Fast 8" Facebook page. The images showcase the vehicles being driven by the likes of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson).
Dom is going to be using a custom Dodge Ice Charger that has decorative bullet holes marking its black matte finish. It also looks beefier than past models of the car as it has a much larger wheelbase, fender flares and other customizations that make it look even more menacing than before.
Letty is driving a Local Motors Rally Fighter that has been given roof-mounted lights, a brush bar and heavilly modified wheels to make it more capable of driving through the off-road regions of Iceland. The tires are also customized to avoid skidding and sliding, although this may affect her total speed.
Roman (Tyrese Gibson) is being as flashy as ever as he drives an orange Lamborghini Murcielago. Tej Parker (Ludacris) isn't driving a car at all as he is instead using a Ripsaw modified with tracks to better traverse the snow fields. Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs is taking a military approach with the largest vehicle, referred to as the Ice Ram.
It is speculated that these are not the only vehicles being used in the movie and are only for the scenes in Iceland. The team may be using different vehicles in the New York scenes to optimize speed and control. The vehicles shared thus far appear to be heavily modified solely to gain better traction and power while driving on snow and ice.
"Fast 8" is set to Dom and the rest of the group working under Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) as they deal with a new threat, the unnamed villain played by Charlize Theron. As stated in a report from Screen Rant, Theron is now being joined by Helen Mirren but the exact details of the villain's goals and the film's story have yet to be released.
"Fast 8" opens in theaters on April 17, 2017.
