First Look at Ride Vehicle Line-Up for “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift”

Universal Studios Hollywood Unveils Ride Vehicles for “Hollywood Drift”

Universal Studios Hollywood is shifting into high gear as it reveals the full lineup for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. Joining the iconic 1970 Dodge Charger are three newly unveiled ride vehicles that complete each high-speed train. This reveal marks a major milestone as the park puts the finishing touches on its first-ever high-speed outdoor roller coaster, which is officially set to roar to life this summer!

The attraction serves as a high-octane tribute to the franchise’s legendary stunt choreography, allowing guests to strap into one of four ride vehicles modeled after the iconic cars driven by their favorite characters. By mirroring the edge-of-your-seat driving sequences from the films, the coaster invites riders to experience the raw energy and adrenaline of street racing firsthand.

The excitement begins right at the loading platform, where the ride vehicles are positioned against a massive, original mural by world-renowned artist Tristan Eaton. This freehand, spray-painted masterpiece covers an interior brick wall, capturing the heart-pounding finale of the original film. The artwork features a montage of the airborne Dodge Charger and Toyota Supra racing against a speeding train, perfectly setting the stage for the high-speed drift ahead.

This stunning visual tribute also includes a nod to Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto, fueling a sense of pure adrenaline. It’s the ultimate thematic transition, transporting guests directly into the exhilarating Fast & Furious universe before they even leave the station.

At a glance, here is a look at the design inspirations for the four “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” ride vehicles:

• Dodge Charger. This iconic ride vehicle is inspired by Dominic Toretto’s signature car featured throughout the film franchise. With its sleek black frame, this souped-up, 900-horsepower, 1970 Dodge Charger is considered the ultimate American muscle car.

• Mazda RX-7.  This ride vehicle is inspired by the 1997 model car driven by Han Seoul-oh. Featuring 19-inch wheels, racing seats, upgraded suspension and custom interior detailing, the Mazda RX-7 is considered one of the most iconic cars in the Fast & Furious film franchise.

• Nissan Skyline GT-R. This ride vehicle is inspired by Brian O’Conner’s 2002 blue Nissan Skyline GT-R which was enhanced with extensive performance and styling modifications and is renowned for its unique appearance.

• Toyota Supra. This ride vehicle is inspired by Brian O’Conner’s orange 1994 car featuring the legendary 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo inline-six engine. O’Conner owed Toretto a “10-second car,” and this one more than delivered on that promise. It is recognized as one of the most memorable cars in the film franchise.

Housed in an expansive red brick structure designed to look like a high-tech tuner garage, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is set to dominate the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood. The attraction features groundbreaking 360-degree rotation technology, allowing the ride vehicles to spin in motion and create a seamless drifting sensation. Riders will careen at speeds up to 72 mph along 4,100 feet of elaborate aerial track—nearly the length of 12 football fields—winding directly over park landmarks like the multi-level Starway escalator.

This ambitious project leverages Universal Destinations & Experiences’ decades of expertise in revolutionizing roller coaster development. By blending high-speed thrills with sophisticated engineering, Universal is setting a new global standard for contemporary attractions, bringing the adrenaline of the Fast & Furious universe to life like never before.
