Cult Classic in White

This 1995 Volkswagen Jetta is no replica – it’s the original hero car from the first Fast & Furious movie. It won the official car casting and was chosen for filming thanks to its styling, modifications, and presence that perfectly embodied the tuning era of the early 2000s. Unlike many movie vehicles, this Jetta featured a fully functional braking system and was fully operational for filming — a rare feature in the world of stunt and screen cars.
