Actress Jordana Brewster plays Mia Toretto in the Fast and Furious
franchise, which has featured a variety of car brands
, and over the years she’s gotten behind the wheel of some seriously impressive rides
. In an interview with Variety
, Brewster reflects on which cars from the series left an impression on her, and which ones she wishes she had in her own garage. Read on with the car ownership experts at Jerry as we break down some of Brewster’s favorite picks. 1966 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray
In Fate of the Furious, Brewster’s on-screen sister-in-law Leticia “Letty” Ortiz is seen cruising around in a fire-engine red vintage Corvette. The Corvette in question is a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray. “If I had to take one car from the franchise and have as my own, it would be the red [Corvette] that Letty drove,” said Brewster to Variety.
It’s easy to see why Brewster was so enamored with this timeless classic. The C2 was the second generation of the Chevrolet Corvette sports car, and it was produced by General Motors from 1963 through 1967.
The C2 Corvette came in two trim levels—convertible and coupe—and could even be upgraded to an L79 engine option. These days, a 1966 Corvette would likely go at auction for anywhere between $40,000 and $80,000.
Blue-and-white 1965 Ford GT40
Another one of Brewster’s favorites happens to be a favorite of fellow franchise regular Christopher ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, the blue-and-white 1965 Ford GT40 from Fast Five.
“My favorite car is the same as Chris’ [Ludacris] favorite. We’re on the train and I steal it. The car contains this key. It’s sleek, beautiful and snazzy. It’s an oldie.” said Brewster.
The Ford GT40 was only manufactured between 1964 and 1969, and quickly became known as the greatest race car ever produced by Ford. The street-legal version was the most expensive Ford on the market at its time.
According to Hot Cars
, a GT40 like the one featured in Fast Five first made its debut at the legendary European racing festival, Le Mans. While it failed to take home first place during its first run at Le Mans, the GT40 was reworked to be able to top speeds of 200 mph. The 1966 year GT40 went on to snag four international wins.
These days, a vintage Ford GT40 can go for as much as $10 million at auction.
