Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift Ride Vehicles Make Their Debut at Universal Studios Hollywood

If you think you’ve already seen everything Universal Studios Hollywood can throw at you, this is where you’re wrong. Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift isn’t just a new ride. It’s the park stepping into an entirely different category of thrills, and doing it with zero intention of playing it safe.

This attraction takes everything you expect from the Fast & Furious franchise and turns it into a physical experience. You’ll launch into a high-speed outdoor coaster that’s designed to simulate the feeling of drifting—yes, actual drifting—through 360-degree rotating ride vehicles. That means your car doesn’t just move forward… it spins independently as you race along the track.

If your idea of a coaster is something predictable, this isn’t it. The motion is meant to feel dynamic, loose, and just a little out of control…in the best way possible. The experience begins as you step into a garage-style setting, surrounded by the energy of underground street racing culture. From there, you’ll board one of several vehicles inspired by the films, putting you right into the world of the crew.

Let’s cut through the hype. Plenty of rides promise thrills. Very few change the game.

Here’s what matters:

• It’s a high-speed outdoor roller coaster—a first of its kind for this park

• Features rotating ride vehicles to simulate drifting motion

• Built with a long track layout that weaves through the park’s upper lot

• Designed to deliver a different ride experience every time

Universal Studios Hollywood has unveiled three new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift ride vehicles. Check out the Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline GT-R, and Toyota Supra as they join the iconic Dodge Charger on the Park’s first-ever high-speed outdoor roller coaster.

Dodge Charger

Mazda RX-7

This ride vehicle is inspired by the 1997 model car driven by Han Seoul-oh. Featuring 19-inch wheels, racing seats, upgraded suspension, and custom interior detailing, the Mazda RX-7 is considered one of the most iconic cars in the Fast & Furious film franchise.

Nissan Skyline GT-R

This ride vehicle is inspired by Brian O’Conner’s 2002 blue Nissan Skyline GT-R, which was enhanced with extensive performance and styling modifications and is renowned for its unique appearance.

Toyota Supra

This ride vehicle is inspired by Brian O’Conner’s orange 1994 car featuring the legendary 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo inline-six engine. O’Connor owed Toretto a “10-second car,” and this one more than delivered on that promise. It is recognized as one of the most memorable cars in the film franchise.
