MCS playing cameraman in the latest Fast&Furious

Hi motorers!

Here's a 5th Gear video showing how they made the latest Fast & Furious movie... and guess what... a MINI was used to capture cars' drifts

Nice Thanks for the post, was interesting to watch!
Changing a FWD to a RWD must have taken a lot of work

They mentioned the EVO was converted. and the Mustang had a Turbo dropped into it.

Pretty cool, thanks!

It was the Evo, and it was from AWD to RWD.

thanks!

AWD ---> RWD is much easier to convert than FWD ---> RWD

btw, they used a MINI and a ko-kart to shoot the drifts...

It's a good evidence that a MINI does compare to a go-kart lol

this looks to be an actually decent fast and furious movie. my uncle lives in LA where some of the film was shot. i had an email from his camera phone of a video with one of the cars drifting around a corner right outside his work. he said they were looking for 20 minis for the movie.
