The Dodge Charger featured in The Fast and the Furious was one of the most iconic rides on the road. What started as a small garage talk between Dom and Brian in the first film evolved into the car playing an integral part in the following films. The supercharger protruding from the hood of the Charger in the movie is purely cosmetic. In reality, the car was not supercharged. The blower setup was added to give the Charger a more menacing look (via Auto Show Austin).

Again, this wasn’t just a computer-generated model. There was an actual Charger model that was built with a powerful blower under the hood. The original 1970 Charger was heavily modified for its role in the film. This included suspension changes, a roll cage for safety, and cosmetic alterations to fit the character of Dominic Toretto.
