Dominic Toretto Approves: LEGO Unveils the Legendary Dodge Charger R/T from "Fast & Furious"

Some cars become iconic because of their performance. Others are remembered for their design. And then there are vehicles that evolve into true symbols of an entire era.

That is exactly what happened with Dominic Toretto’s black Dodge Charger R/T from the “Fast & Furious” franchise.

And now you can bring it into your own home. Although first, you’ll have to build it yourself.

LEGO has officially unveiled a new Technic set dedicated to one of the most famous cars in movie history. If you’ve ever dreamed of sitting behind the wheel of the machine that roared across the screen during some of cinema’s wildest street races, this model may become your next obsession.

The Car That Became a Legend

In the world of “Fast & Furious,” cars have always been more than just a means of transportation.

They are extensions of their owners’ personalities.

And when it comes to Dominic Toretto, his Dodge Charger R/T has become almost as recognizable as the character himself.

Its muscular body, aggressive stance, and massive supercharger protruding from the hood make it instantly recognizable to fans around the world.

Now, this legendary muscle car has been reborn as a LEGO Technic model.

More Than Just a Building Set

The new release consists of 1,516 pieces, placing it firmly in the category of serious projects for adult builders and automotive enthusiasts.

And this is far from a simple static display model.

LEGO’s designers have gone to great lengths to capture the spirit of the original vehicle.

Under the hood sits a detailed V8 engine complete with a chain-driven supercharger. For fans of automotive engineering, it’s a feature worth celebrating.

But the most exciting details can be found in the rear.

The trunk includes space for two nitrous oxide tanks and even a fire extinguisher—a direct nod to the scenes where the heroes of “Fast & Furious” pushed their machines to the absolute limit.

Ready to Race

Despite its collector’s status, this model is far from a museum piece.

The car features functional steering.

Using a special mechanism located at the rear of the body, builders can control the direction of the vehicle and actually roll the legendary Charger across a desk or shelf.

Does that sound a little childish?

Maybe.

But let’s be honest: most men never completely outgrow their love of incredible cars.

The toys simply become more expensive.

Impressive Dimensions for a True Legend

Once assembled, the model makes a powerful impression.

It stands over 11 centimeters tall, measures 40 centimeters in length, and spans 18 centimeters in width.

In other words, this is not a small model that disappears among other collectibles.

A Charger like this instantly becomes the centerpiece of any collection.
