The now-iconic Toyota Supra driven by Paul Walker in the original Fast & Furious movie series sold for quite a sum at a Las Vegas auction.
The car we are referring to is the 1994 Mark 4 Toyota Supra, famously featured in two movies from the Fast and Furious franchise. Recently, the Barrett-Jackson auction house hosted an event in Las Vegas that had the now legendary “10-second car” up for grabs.
For reference, Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Conner constructed his Supra after his Mitsubishi Eclipse explodes due to a mishap in the nitrogen tank. The car became one of the most recognizable in the series, and radically contributed to the current price increase in classic fourth-gen Supras.
The car was prominently featured in the first installment and later on in the sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, where it was transformed to become Slap Jack’s golden Supra. After the shoot was complete, it was restored to its former glory.
Paul Walker’s Toyota Supra was built by Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, California. It has been coated in Lamborghini Diablo Candy Orange pearl paint with the infamous Troy Lee-designed Nuclear Gladiator decal running down the sides.
Notable exterior mods include a Bomex front spoiler and side skirts, a TRD-style hood, an APR aluminum bi-plane rear wing, and a Lamborghini Diablo Candy Orange pearl paint with the infamous Troy Lee-designed Nuclear Gladiator decal running down the sides. On the inside, it features customized dials, blue seats, and a stereo system.

But the real star of the show here is the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder 2JZ-GTE engine coupled with a four-speed automatic transmission—yep, automatic (you really thought they were driving stick for real?). We doubt this version will ever run a quarter-mile in 10-seconds, but a 2JZ is still a 2JZ, even in stock form.
The Fast and Furious Supra sold for a hefty $550,000, making it the costliest custom Supra ever built. To put that price tag in perspective, that’s nearly the price of a 2021 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. Nonetheless, the new owner also took home an important part of F&F history.
