The Cars and Trucks In Fast and Furious 4 Movie

Making a car racing film like “Fast and Furious” is not that easy to make. It requires great knowledge in cars, engines, and many other stuff related to it.

Cars in movies are expendable. They’re not respected, not worth preserving, nowhere near cherished, disposable, subject to abuse, and constantly thrashed. It doesn’t matter if the cars are Ferraris or Ford Crown Vics or any other expensive cars, the job of any vehicle in a movie is to tell the story effectively — even if it must be destroyed in order to do so.

Some of us will think if all the cars shown in the movie are real or just a clone. Well, watch this video and check which among those cars that you’ve seen in “Fast and Furious” movie were real and which are not.

At the Tokyo Motor Show last october 2007, they presented cool designs, high tech car parts, and bizarre concept cars .

One of the cars presented here is the Nissan’s “Pivo 2″ that is an electric car with a revolving cabin that can park the car sideways. Nissan “Pivo 2″ has a robotic agent that can read facial expressions. And what’s amazing hear is they can calm down the driver if they were feeling upset.

Another car presented here is Honda’s “Puyo.” It is a car covered with soft silicone to avoid harming the driver or pedestrians during a crash.

A new prototype for a new van was unveiled by Nissan which is called “NV-200.” On the other hand, Suzuki showed the electric “sharing coach” which contains two individual “Pixy” transportation units.

What do you think? Do you like the concept?
