W140 in The Fast and the Furious 3

I saw the trailer the other day on the TV and saw a W140, so I went to their website, saw the trailer, and took some screenshots of the white W140 in the movie.

These are some good quality screenshots.

Poor W140

well, It was in Japan(cuz that's where this movie is supposed to take place) so hopefully, W140's are worth more over there, and it will be able to be repaired.

It is probably a very problematic and horrible conditioned one which was repainted to give the impression of it being a prime example; would they really destroy a fine example of a W140, probably not. Either way, the tank completely destroyed the semi-rice street racer.

Stupid boy racers, grow up already. I hate those movies, now every idiot with a junk car will try to drive like them.

I'd sue the living crap out of those idiots if they did that to my car.

it's cuz the street racer ran a red light. At least the W140 killed the street racer car.

Good job W140. Defend yourself.

Looking at it, isn't that a US spec W140? As far as I know, the corner lights do not light up at night on "Euro" version W140s.

You are right they don't. You will most likely find that this was filmed in the US anyway they just stuck up a bunch of Japanese sign to make it look like Japan, ah the movies.

If it comforts anyone, it was probably a 95 S350 with bent rods that needed to be taken out of its misery.

aww, that's sad, but true. Well, maybe one of these days, we will be on a film site, and we can safe a W140 from being killed.
