Han Lue drove three cars in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006). Not five. Not seven. Three. Here is the verified identification guide — chassis codes, build provenance, the $1.22 million auction story, and what most listicles still get wrong about the RX-8, the 350Z, the R33 donut scene, and Han's F9 Supra.
Search results for Han Tokyo Drift cars are full of listicles that grab any iconic Tokyo Drift car and slap "Han's" in front of it. The result is a wikipedia-style fog of misattribution. Five recurring mistakes worth correcting before we go further:
With those out of the way, here is what Han actually drove on screen across the franchise.
Han's primary car. The orange-and-black Veilside Fortune RX-7 is the visual shorthand for his entire character — the moment Sean walks into Han's garage, the audience reads "this man is the apex of Tokyo's underground drift scene" because of this car and only this car.
Built by Veilside Co. Ltd. in Tsukuba, Japan, under founder Hironao Yokomaku. The lead screen car was Veilside's own Tokyo Auto Salon 2005 demo build — originally finished in maroon — which Universal Pictures bought and had repainted to the now-iconic orange-and-black scheme. The hero car's twin-turbo 13B-REW was rebuilt by RE-Amemiya. A separate higher-output stunt copy ran an HKS T04Z single-turbo conversion making roughly 500 hp.
Han's daily, hero car, and personal calling card. The orange Fortune appears in the parking-garage reveal, the touge practice runs where Han teaches Sean to drift, the climactic Shibuya-area pursuit, and the T-bone collision that kills Han on screen. The destruction footage was reused in Fast & Furious 6's mid-credits scene to re-canonise Han's death.
T-boned by a 1992 Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class during the Shibuya chase. Rolls and explodes. Killed Han on screen — until F9 (2021) retconned the entire sequence as a Mr. Nobody-orchestrated fake-out.
Pre-2006, the Veilside Fortune kit was a polarising show-car concept inside JDM circles — controversial, almost gaudy. Tokyo Drift turned it into the most-replicated tuner aesthetic of the next two decades. Clean stock FD3S RX-7s have moved from $25–40k in the late 2000s to $80–150k+ for clean examples by the mid-2020s; high-quality Veilside Fortune replicas now trade in the $150–300k band. The screen-used hero car itself just set a Mazda road-car auction record at $1,221,477 at Bonhams UK in July 2025.

Browse RX-7 tours →Han's S15 is the second-most-iconic car in his stable, and the most-misdescribed. Fan listicles and game mods have been calling it green for almost twenty years. It is not green.
Cross-checked sources — Fast & Furious Wiki, the official Solido 1:18 die-cast, Drifted, MotorAuthority, and multiple Tokyo Drift retrospectives — all describe the Mona Lisa as House of Kolor blue with a wide wraparound 'ribbon' graphic combining orange and silver. The graphic runs from the front fender, up the A-pillar and roof, and back down the opposite quarter. Whoever first called it "green" early in the YouTube era seems to have triggered a long fan-listicle echo chamber that still hasn't fully corrected. If you build a Mona Lisa tribute, paint it blue.
Built by Universal's Tokyo Drift picture-car department under technical advisor Craig Lieberman. Lieberman has since publicly criticised the Mona Lisa as "not representative of JDM car culture" — calling it a poser car relative to the 'Quicksilver' S15 in the same film — but the Mona Lisa remains the highest-profile S15 in the franchise. In-film dialogue references a single-turbo RB26DETT swap from the R34 GT-R; stunt cars reportedly retained the SR20DET for serviceability across repeat takes.
Han hands Sean the keys to the Mona Lisa as a high-trust gesture before the parking-garage race against DK. Sean wrecks it into concrete pillars. The destruction puts Sean directly into Han's debt and triggers the drift-tutoring relationship that drives the rest of the film.
Justin Lin had the same wrecked Mona Lisa S15 shipped from the Universal stockpile to the UK so it could appear, in its damaged state, in F9 (2021) as part of the Han-comeback storyline. The crashed car you see in F9 is the literal screen car Sean crashed in 2006.
Want to ride the chassis Han actually trusted Sean with? The site's Silvia Daikoku Tours page lists Silvia-eligible GetYourGuide products at Daikoku PA — including S15-spec rides on the Wangan.
Browse Silvia tours →The Evo IX is the third and final car from Han's stable, and the only one Sean still has at the end of the film. It is also the easiest Han-stable chassis to ride to Daikoku PA today.
Built by RMR (Rhys Millen Racing) in Huntington Beach, California, for Universal. Rhys Millen himself performed several of the on-screen drift sequences as Lucas Black's stunt double — so when you watch Sean clip an apex on Suicide Mountain, you're often actually watching Rhys Millen.
Pulled from Han's personal stable and gifted to Sean as a replacement after the Mona Lisa is destroyed. The car Sean learns to drift in. The car Sean uses to defeat DK in the climactic mountain duel. Within the film, the Evo IX functions as the protagonist's drift weapon, supplied from Han's collection.
Survives the film. Damaged but intact after the mountain showdown. Appears in the final scene where Sean meets Dom Toretto.
At least one top-spec hero car was sold publicly through Huntington Beach Mitsubishi after production wrapped. YouTuber Dustin Williams acquired and restored a hero example in 2021 — most of the original APR aero, RAYS G-Games 99B wheels, and interior trim were retained. A separate 461-mile sister Evo IX MR (not the movie car) sold for $161,000 in late 2024, signalling how strong the Evo IX market has become in the wake of the Tokyo Drift cultural halo.
Want to drift the same red APR widebody hero Han handed to Sean? The Evo IX is the easiest Han-stable chassis to actually ride to Daikoku PA tonight — see Lancer Evolution Daikoku Tours for the bookable Evo / WRX / Skyline night runs.
Browse Evo tours →The Veilside D1-GT widebody RX-8 turns up in nearly every "Han's cars" listicle online. It shouldn't. The on-screen narrative owner is Neela (Nathalie Kelley); it runs in formation with Han's drift squad on the touge sequence, which is why fan listings keep grouping it with Han's stable. Worth covering as drift squad context — but not as Han's car.
Built by Veilside in Japan as their own SE3P D1-GT showcase, then shipped to Hollywood for filming. The surviving genuine example has appeared on UK-based dealer New Era Imports as a private-sale piece. Neela uses it to establish herself as a credible drifter in her own right; it then folds into Han's broader drift-squad scenes alongside the Fortune RX-7 and the Mona Lisa S15.
Curious about the rotary that ran shotgun with Han? No dedicated RX-8 chassis page exists yet — the cleanest cross-link is RX-7 Daikoku Tours as the FD-era rotary cousin of Han's hero car.
RX-7 (rotary cousin) →Two iconic Tokyo Drift cars get repeatedly mistaken for "Han's cars". They aren't, but they share his most memorable scenes. Worth covering for completeness — and honesty.
The R33 GT-R that appears in Tokyo Drift is the silver-and-purple BCNR33 Han drifts around in his Veilside RX-7 to flirt with two unnamed female characters at a Tokyo intersection (the iconic phone-number donut scene at roughly 00:53). Han executes a full 360-degree donut around their stationary R33 while Sean watches from the passenger seat, then leans out and takes the driver's number as he drives off.
The car is essentially a stationary prop. Largely OEM BCNR33 bodywork, custom House of Kolor silver-and-purple paint with white star decals, factory RB26DETT (no engine work), 19" RAYS Volk Racing forged alloys, and a deliberate "pretty" build aesthetic that contrasts against Han's heavily-tuned Fortune RX-7. NewEra Imports supplied the donor cars; one of the two screen R33s was repatriated to Japan after filming and eventually sold via NewEra at around £12,650.
Closest in-family Godzilla experience at Daikoku PA — the site's R34 GT-R Daikoku Tours page covers the closest RB26-engine cousin chassis available to ride.
R34 GT-R tours →And DK's 350Z? The Veilside V3 widebody Nissan 350Z (Z33), and Morimoto's Top Secret G-Force kit Z, both belong to the Kamata camp — DK and his crew, the antagonists. Han never drives or owns a 350Z. We mention it here only because every other Tokyo Drift listicle gets this wrong; the cars are not in Han's stable in any sense.
This is the entry that most "Han's cars" pages still get wrong. The first Wikipedia-skim search result will sometimes claim Han drives an NSX in F9. He doesn't. The NSX in F9 is Roman's. Han's F9 hero car is a 2020 Toyota GR Supra A90 (MkV), painted in a custom orange-and-black livery designed to re-skin the Veilside RX-7 colorway onto a modern Toyota halo chassis.
Per ScreenRant and Newsweek, the orange-and-black scheme was designed as a direct reference to Han's Veilside RX-7 — and simultaneously as a nod to Brian O'Conner's first-film orange A80 Supra. Director Justin Lin (who also directed Tokyo Drift) framed the resurrection around "Han deserved justice"; the Supra is the rolling embodiment of that callback. Two iconic franchise cars, fused into one livery.
Dennis McCarthy / Vehicle Effects — the franchise's picture-car coordinator since the original The Fast and the Furious (2001). McCarthy personally specified the HRE-style wheel package for Han's Supra, inspired by the wheels fitted to the 2020 GR Supra NASCAR Xfinity Series pace car. Picture cars also carry an underbody electromagnet rig used in the F9 magnet chase: Han's Supra magnetically grapples Otto's STC Didgori armoured truck, the polarity is flipped on cue, and the Supra is towed backwards down an Edinburgh street.
Destroyed on screen. Crushed when the flipping STC Didgori rolls over and lands on top of the Supra in the Edinburgh chase. Han and Mia survive — they've already exited the moving car.
The A90 is an F9-only hero car. In Fast X (2023), Han drives an Alfa Romeo Giulia 2000 GT Veloce restomod, not the Supra.
Drive the chassis Han came back from the dead in. The A90 GR Supra is the only Han car with a perfect chassis-page match in the site's catalogue — see Supra Daikoku Tours for bookable A90 night runs from Daikoku PA. Orange-and-black Han-tribute wraps are a recurring sight at the real Daikoku PA today.
Browse Supra tours →During Fast X production in 2023, Sung Kang was reunited on set with a Tokyo Drift Veilside RX-7. The franchise comes full circle. Han began with the orange Fortune. He came back as the Supra. He ended up back in the orange Fortune.
It is exactly the kind of detail that turns a car-spotter article into something readers want to share. The orange RX-7 is the visual signature of the entire saga — and the franchise itself agrees.
The reason this article is on a tour-booking site and not, say, Reddit, is that the line between Han Lue and Sung Kang has blurred more than any actor-character relationship in modern blockbuster cinema. Kang is a genuine, well-credentialed JDM enthusiast in real life, not a publicist's "car guy" fiction. He is essentially the human embodiment of the Fast & Furious / JDM crossover. Three documented builds tell the story:
Built in approximately three months in 2015 in collaboration with GReddy. The shop swapped a Nissan Skyline GT-R RB26DETT into the engine bay but, unusually, converted it to high-revving naturally aspirated tune (~245 whp, 8,000+ rpm redline). Debuted at SEMA 2015. Took Best Asian Import and a Gran Turismo award, leading to its inclusion as a playable car in Gran Turismo. Name plays on "fugu" (Japanese pufferfish), referencing the Z's silhouette.
Built with Erick Aguilar of Erick's Racing Engines, who Kang has called his "Mr. Miyagi." Long collaborator list: Relations Race Wheels, NRG Innovations, GReddy, Kaido House Garage, CarbonSignal. Red and black with ghost-painted koi as a Japanese-Korean cultural symbol. Roughly 200 hp in a sub-2,000-lb body. Won Best Asian Import at SEMA 2021. Displayed officially by Nissan USA.
Built as a stunt car for the 2024-released action film Drifters in which Kang stars and which he helped develop.
Kang publicly credits LA Times reporter Jen Yamato for launching the #JusticeForHan online movement after Furious 7 re-staged Han's death scene from Deckard Shaw's perspective. The campaign asked the franchise to address the unresolved tension of Shaw being absorbed into Dom's "family" without consequences. Director Justin Lin has publicly stated fans deserved "100% credit" for Han's resurrection in F9 (2021). Kang, in post-F9 interviews, continues to refer to Justice For Han as not yet fully served.
None of this is incidental to the article. The fact that Han's actor is also a SEMA-class JDM builder is the reason this car list is more than just a movie-trivia exercise — it is a real bridge between Hollywood storytelling and the actual Tokyo Drift / Daikoku PA / Wangan night-meet scene that the chassis pages on this site book.
The car most synonymous with Han is also the car most synonymous with a single body-kit designer. Hironao Yokomaku founded Veilside in 1990 in Chiba Prefecture, near Tsukuba Circuit. The company name is a literal English-translation play on his surname: yoko (横, "side") + maku (幕, "veil"), reversed into "Veil-Side."
Veilside won the Grand Prize in the Tuned Car category at the 1991 Tokyo Auto Salon, just one year after founding. The 1994 Combat Model Supra (Toyota JZA80) won the Grand Prize in the Complete Car category and established Veilside's signature "Model" naming convention — extreme-widebody conversions named like fashion lines: Combat, Premier, Andrew, Fortune. The Fortune Model for the FD3S RX-7 followed in this lineage in the early 2000s.
When Universal Pictures licensed the kit for Tokyo Drift, they went directly to the original designer rather than a knockoff fabricator. The orange Tokyo Drift Fortune RX-7 was built by Veilside themselves, to Yokomaku's spec.
As of 2026, the Veilside Fortune kit market is split into three clear tiers:
Demand spikes whenever a Veilside Fortune RX-7 hits a major auction. Multiple have crossed the block since the mid-2010s. The screen-used hero car's $1,221,477 sale in July 2025 is the high-water mark and is unlikely to be matched outside of another genuine screen car coming to market.
Four of Han's six on-screen vehicles map perfectly to chassis pages already on this site. None of them are the actual screen cars, of course — but they are the same chassis, often modified to similar spec, run from Daikoku Futo PA on the Wangan and the C1 loop by independent operators we've vetted on rating, review volume, and product fit. All bookings are GetYourGuide affiliate links: we earn commission, you don't pay extra, the operator selection is independent.

Han's signature car is a 1997 Mazda RX-7 FD3S fitted with the Veilside Fortune widebody kit, finished in House of Kolor Sunset Pearl orange with high-gloss black accents. He also owned a Nissan Silvia S15 "Mona Lisa" (blue with an orange/silver wraparound stripe) and a red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX, both of which he lent to Sean during the film. His three-car stable is the only definitive answer; everything else commonly attributed to Han is misattribution.
Blue. House of Kolor blue base coat with a wide wraparound "ribbon" graphic combining orange and silver. Many older listicles describe it as green — that is wrong. Every primary source confirms blue, including the Fast & Furious Wiki, the Solido 1:18 die-cast, MotorAuthority, Drifted, and the official screen-car records.
No. The Veilside V3 widebody Nissan 350Z (Z33) belongs to DK — Drift King Takashi, the film's antagonist. Morimoto's Top Secret G-Force kit Z is the other notable Z33 in the film. Han never drives or owns a 350Z. The misattribution is one of the most common errors on Tokyo Drift fan listicles.
No. The silver-and-purple Skyline R33 GT-R (BCNR33) is "the girls' car" — a stationary prop driven by two unnamed female characters at a Tokyo intersection. Han executes a 360-degree donut around their R33 in his Veilside RX-7 to flirt with them and slip the driver his number. Han never owns, drives, or garages the R33.
An orange-and-black 2020 Toyota GR Supra A90 (MkV), built by Dennis McCarthy / Vehicle Effects for Universal. The orange-and-black scheme is a deliberate visual callback to his Veilside RX-7 from Tokyo Drift, simultaneously honoring Brian O'Conner's first-film orange A80 Supra. The Supra is destroyed on screen during the Edinburgh armoured-truck chase. The NSX in F9 — frequently misattributed to Han online — actually belongs to Roman.
An Alfa Romeo Giulia 2000 GT Veloce restomod is Han's primary on-screen car in Fast X (2023). Separately, during Fast X production, Sung Kang was reunited on set with a Tokyo Drift Veilside RX-7 — bringing Han's franchise arc full circle.
The screen-used hero car (chassis FD3S111461, with the original Universal "#71 HANS" production markings still on the door jamb) sold at Bonhams Cars UK on 17 July 2025 for $1,221,477 — a record price for any Mazda road car at public auction. Up to nine Veilside Fortune RX-7s were reportedly commissioned for the production; only two are known to survive. High-quality Veilside Fortune replica RX-7s now trade in the $150,000–$300,000 band.
Veilside Co. Ltd. of Tsukuba, Japan, founded by Hironao Yokomaku in 1990. The lead screen car was Veilside's own Tokyo Auto Salon 2005 demo car — originally finished in maroon — which Universal Pictures bought and repainted to the now-iconic orange-and-black scheme. RE-Amemiya rebuilt the hero car's twin-turbo 13B-REW rotary engine.
Mostly no. Almost all of Tokyo Drift was shot in and around Los Angeles — sound stages, back-lot streets, and Southern California canyon roads (the "Suicide Mountain" run was filmed off San Gabriel Canyon Road / Route 39, north-east of Los Angeles) dressed to look like Japan. Second-unit photography in Shibuya, Shinjuku, and on the Wangan provided ambient plates and establishing shots only. Daikoku Futo PA itself does not appear as a filming location; it is the chassis's modern spiritual home in JDM meet culture, not a Tokyo Drift filming location.
Not the screen cars themselves — most are in private collections, the hero RX-7 is in a private collector's hands after the 2025 Bonhams sale, and the F9 Supra was destroyed on-screen. But you can ride identical chassis at Daikoku PA night meets through independent operators. The RX-7 FD3S, Silvia S15, Lancer Evo IX, and GR Supra A90 are all bookable today through GetYourGuide-listed Tokyo JDM tours that include Daikoku Futo PA and Wangan night runs. Browse the chassis pages linked from the table above for current options.
Tokyo Drift was released in 2006 (the third film) but is the sixth chronologically in the in-universe timeline. After Gisele's death in Fast & Furious 6 (2013), Han leaves Europe for Tokyo, where the events of Tokyo Drift unfold. Furious 7 confirmed Deckard Shaw caused Han's Tokyo Drift crash. F9 (2021) retconned the death entirely: Han faked the crash with help from Mr. Nobody to go undercover protecting a young girl named Elle. Tokyo Drift is therefore both Han's final chronological film of the Tokyo era and the inciting incident for his return.
