Dom Toretto Car: The Charger and His Other Film Cars

Dominic Toretto's signature car is a black 1970 Dodge Charger, according to NBCUniversal. That identification answers the general question about Dom's car, although the answer for a particular scene depends on the film. The 1970 model year, Dodge manufacturer and Charger name all form part of the identification; the color is black.

Dom also appears in a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) and drives a 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 in Fast Five (2011). The Road Runner shares the signature car's model year but has a different manufacturer and model name. The Fast Five car shares the Dodge Charger name but has a different model year and an SRT8 designation.

The signature Charger is the starting point for a general question, while the film title helps identify a particular appearance. For the ending of Tokyo Drift, the answer is the Plymouth; for the Fast Five car identified by NBCUniversal, it is the 2010 Charger SRT8. The fast and furious movies page covers the wider franchise. The sections below keep each car's model year separate from its film's release year, and distinguish an on screen vehicle from the production cars used to make a film.

Dom drives a 1987 Buick Grand National at the beginning of Fast & Furious (2009), according to Complex. The source also reports that the production built eight cars for Dom's Buick Grand National. The model year identifies the car, while the film's 2009 date identifies the movie in which it appears. Both are useful when a question refers to the opening of Fast & Furious.

The Buick is a different identification from the black 1970 Dodge Charger that NBCUniversal calls Dom's signature car. It is also distinct from the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner in the ending of Tokyo Drift. For the opening of the 2009 film, the manufacturer Buick and model Grand National provide the relevant names, with 1987 specifying the model year.

The eight vehicles are a production count associated with the Buick Grand National, rather than eight different models for the character to identify. Complex's account supports the number of cars built for filming, but it does not assign a separate job to each one. For the opening car, use the full 1987 Buick Grand National name and keep the filming count attached to that specific production account. Do not substitute the film's release year for the car's model year.

Dom drives a 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 in Fast Five (2011), according to NBCUniversal. The model year and SRT8 designation distinguish this car from the black 1970 Dodge Charger identified as his signature vehicle. Both carry the Dodge Charger name, so a question that specifies Fast Five calls for the more precise 2010 identification.

The two dates in the identification describe different things: 2010 is the car's model year, while 2011 is the film's release year. Keeping both with the full model name makes the answer easier to use in a caption or a comparison. The SRT8 designation belongs with the 2010 car in NBCUniversal's Fast Five identification; the signature car is separately identified as a black 1970 Dodge Charger.

The distinction also helps when comparing the Fast Five answer with the other film appearances. Tokyo Drift's 1970 Plymouth Road Runner shares the signature Charger's model year but not its manufacturer or model name. The Fast Five car shares the Dodge Charger name while carrying the 2010 model year. For a question about that film, name Fast Five, the 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 and, if a release date is needed, 2011.

The Petersen Automotive Museum's 1970 Dodge Charger R/T built for F9 (2021) has a custom frame, a carbon fiber widebody and a mid engine layout. The museum describes the vehicle as a stunt car used on screen. Its record gives details about the construction of this particular example as well as the Dodge Charger model it represents.

Each specification describes a different part of that example: the frame is custom, the widebody is carbon fiber and the engine layout is mid engine. The museum's identification also includes the R/T designation and the 1970 model year. F9's 2021 date identifies the film for which the car was built, not the model year of the Charger.

The museum describes its vehicle as one of three remaining stunt cars built for the film and used on screen. That count and the construction details belong to the museum's documented F9 vehicle. The record does not establish that every Charger used in F9 shares the same construction, or how many stunt cars were originally built. Include the museum and film when citing the specifications so that the description remains tied to the documented example.

Yes, a physical 1970 Dodge Charger R/T stunt car built for F9 is documented by the Petersen Automotive Museum. The museum describes its vehicle as one of three remaining stunt cars built for the film and used on screen. It also lists a custom frame, a carbon fiber widebody and a mid engine layout for this example.

The word remaining matters when using the museum's count. Three describes the group of surviving stunt cars identified in the record, and the figure does not establish how many were originally built. The museum's description connects its particular Charger both to the production of F9 and to use on screen. Those are details about the physical vehicle, alongside its model year and construction.

The physical F9 example is a more specific subject than the general identification of Dom's signature car as a black 1970 Dodge Charger. The museum gives its example the R/T designation and documents its frame, body and engine layout. For a precise answer about a physical film vehicle, name F9 and the Petersen Automotive Museum's example, then retain the museum's wording about the three remaining cars. That preserves the distinction between a surviving count and an original production total.

The Petersen Automotive Museum lists its F9 1970 Dodge Charger R/T as on display in The Vault. The vehicle is a stunt car used on screen, and the museum identifies it as one of three remaining examples built for the film. Its record also describes the custom frame, carbon fiber widebody and mid engine layout of this particular Charger.

The individual vehicle record is the source for the Charger's location in The Vault and for its construction details. Its count of three refers to remaining stunt cars, so it should not be presented as the number originally built. The car's 1970 model year and R/T designation identify the example; F9 and its 2021 date identify the film for which it was built.

The Petersen Automotive Museum separately describes its 2026 Fast & Furious exhibition as including vehicles used on screen and production prototypes. The exhibition description and the individual Charger record provide different details. The exhibition description establishes the kinds of vehicles included, while the Charger record identifies the particular F9 example and lists it in The Vault. Check the vehicle's listing when planning a visit, and confirm availability with the museum before traveling, since a listing does not guarantee access on every date.
