Paul Walker's Toyota Supra auctioned for Rs. 4.08 crore

Paul Walker's iconic Toyota Supra from the 'Fast & Furious' movie auctioned for US$ 550,000.

The iconic Orange 1994 Toyota Supra driven by the late Paul Walker in the 'Fast & Furious' movie has been sold for a record-breaking price.

The Toyota Supra auctioned for US$ 550,000 (Rs. 4.08 crore) at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. The sports car was used in the first two instalments of the 'Fast and Furious' movie franchise.

The first instalment of the movie featured the car in its now-iconic Candy-Orange paint scheme with the 'Nuclear Gladiator' motif on the sides. The car was then said to have been completely overhauled and used again in '2 Fast 2 Furious', before being brought back to its original appearance.

This particular car is said to be powered by Toyota's 2JZ-GTE engine, which comes in the form of a 3.0-litre, in-line 6-cylinder turbo-petrol unit. The engine is further said to be paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The '10-second car' also features a body kit that includes a TRD-style bonnet, 19-inch five-spoke wheels and side skirts; among a few others.
