A Wildly Customized '92 Mazda RX-7 from Tokyo Drift Just Became the Most Expensive Mazda Ever Sold

Remember that insane black-and-orange RX-7 from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift? Well, it just made history—selling for a jaw-dropping $1.2 million at Bonhams’ Goodwood auction, smashing the previous record for a Mazda road car. That’s more than double what the franchise’s famous 1994 Supra fetched back in 2020 ($550K, in case you were wondering).

Funny enough, Tokyo Drift was once the black sheep of the Fast & Furious family—no original cast, corny one-liners, and a plot thinner than a tuner’s patience with stock exhausts. But over time, it became a cult classic, thanks to its insane drifting scenes, Sung Kang’s effortlessly cool Han Lue (who somehow came back from the dead), and, of course, its unforgettable cars. Now, one superfan just dropped seven figures to own a piece of that legacy.

This RX-7—one of only two known survivors from filming—is decked out in Veilside Fortune’s wild widebody kit, stretching nearly seven inches wider than stock, with a massive spoiler and vents that practically scream "I eat curbs for breakfast." Purists might clutch their OEM pearls, but let’s be real: this isn’t just a car—it’s a slice of 2000s tuning culture and Hollywood magic.

Imported to the U.K. in 2008, it’s been kept in near-mint condition, barely driven, and given a clean bill of health by a rotary expert before the auction. Its record-breaking sale proves Fast & Furious memorabilia is heating up—and with a new franchise movie and a Han-centric drifting film on the way, this RX-7 could someday rival Steve McQueen’s Bullitt Mustang in icon status.

Here’s hoping the new owner actually drives it. Han wouldn’t let it collect dust.
