Jada is offering two 1:24 scale die-cast versions: one styled after the car in 2 Fast 2 Furious and another with a reverse livery designed to highlight customisation. Each costs $59.99, pre-orders are open, and both are being shown at the 2026 SEMA Show from 3 to 6 November. Jada says the collection aims to connect real-world car culture with vehicles from the films.

Explained simply
The Fast and the Furious is a film series built around street racing, car customisation and a group of characters who become closely connected. Brian O’Conner, played by Paul Walker, is one of its central characters, and his Nissan Skyline GT-R became one of the best-known cars associated with the films.
The Skyline is a Japanese sports car that has also drawn a following among car enthusiasts outside the cinema. Collectibles based on film cars bring together fans of the series and people interested in model cars and custom designs, linking screen imagery with real-world car culture.
