these kinda stuff are actually a common practice in the movie industry.

Films that features cars have multiple (7 or more) copies of the same model to be used in different scene for stunts, high speed runs, show scene etc. It doesn't make sense for them to use the a fully functional car if they will just wreck it in a scene. So they built "replicas" where the exterior looks 100% like the original car but might be only a rolling chassis with fiberglass shell.

I was in the set of the 1st fast and the furious and saw the whole warehouse filled with the supra car from my car crew.

I also saw this done in the Herbie - Fully Loaded movie where my car was used as a backdrop car. They have tons of just rolling VW bug chassis.

Here's a pic of my ride in one of the warehouse. You can see couple of the Herbie car in the background.

lucky bitch

haha, it was boring though. Just a lot of waiting around.

Dammit! You lucky guy indeed!

Im gonna say the same thing, ur freakin lucky Jon

They obviously couldn't have used a bluescreen on the 2F2F, since the R34 was partly blue - some of it would be invisible

completely understandable, considering they only had a 85 000 000$ budget

the reson they used beetle engines are because they are so friggen easy to fix if something break, (its built as simple as a 2hp lawn mover engine from the 70's) the reson its in the back is probably because they could just use all the parts the beetle which also had a rr platform
