Whatever your take on the Fast & Furious franchise, it’s made an indelible mark on car culture. Now, 25 years after the original film brought tuner culture into the mainstream, the Petersen Automotive Museum is devoting two of its premier galleries to the most comprehensive assembly of cars from the franchise ever shown under one roof.
Opening March 14, 2026 in collaboration with Universal Pictures, A Fast & Furious Legacy: 25 Years of Automotive Icons occupies the museum’s Propulsion Gallery and the Ross and Beth Myers Galleries, tracing the evolution of the series through the machinery that defined each cinematic chapter. Movie heroes, stunt doubles and production prototypes will be displayed side by side, many together for the first time.
Among the headline acts is the 1993 Toyota Supra Stunt #3, driven by Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner in The Fast and the Furious. Finished in Lamborghini Diablo Candy Orange, it was immortalised in one of modern cinema’s most quoted closing scenes. Alongside it sits the acid-green 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse from the opening street race of the same film, the sequence that introduced NOS purges, neon underglow and wide-body theatrics to multiplex audiences worldwide.
The exhibition ranges well beyond the first instalment. The pink 2001 Honda S2000 piloted by Suki – played by Devon Aoki – in 2 Fast 2 Furious also appears, as does Dominic Toretto’s second-generation 1968 Dodge Charger R/T from Fast & Furious 6, driven on screen by Vin Diesel. From the debut film come Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty Ortiz and her 1997 Nissan 240SX, as well as Dom’s 1993 Mazda RX-7.
“This display has been years in the making and marks a defining moment for the museum,” said Petersen Automotive Museum executive director Terry L Karges. “For guests, this is an opportunity to step inside the world of Fast & Furious and experience the cars that drove the franchise’s impact on automotive culture.”
The Fast & Furious Legacy: 25 Years of Automotive Icons exhibition opens with a special car show on March 14 and runs through April 2027. Tickets and additional information are available here.
