A legendary piece of Fast & Furious history has just crossed the auction block. The 1992 Mazda RX-7 FD Veilside Fortune Coupé, famously driven by Han (Sung Kang) in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, sold for $1,221,477 USD in the UK, a record sale figure for any Mazda road car
Commissioned by Universal Studios and built by Japan’s Veilside Co. Ltd, the car is one of only two surviving screen-used RX-7s from the film. Unlike many others used in high-speed stunts, this specific chassis was used for close-up and static scenes, helping cement Han’s on-screen mystique without ever drifting a corner.
Veilside’s radical “Fortune” wide-body kit transformed the RX-7, adding over 200mm to its width and leaving only the roof and tailgate from the original design. Finished in pearlescent orange with gloss black accents, it rolls on 19-inch Andrew Racing wheels and features a 280 hp twin-rotor engine rebuilt by famed tuner RE-Amemiya.
Inside, the car boasts Veilside bucket seats, carbon-fiber trim, a full Alpine audio system and a decorative NOS bottle. Original production markings from Universal Studios, including “#71 HANS” tags, remain intact. Purchased by its pre-auction UK-based owner in 2008 and sparingly driven since, the RX-7 has been kept in pristine condition, stored away from the rain and fitted with a 24/7 tracker. Now fully road legal, it stands as one of the most recognizable and best-preserved movie cars of the modern era.
