A piece of Fast & Furious history just smashed records at auction — the lime‑green 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII driven by Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner in 2 Fast 2 Furious sold for around €291,200 (~$340,000 USD) at a Bonhams “Movie Cars Collection” auction in Paris, making it the most expensive Mitsubishi ever sold at auction.
This isn’t just any Evo — it was Stunt Car #1 used in the 2003 film and was the only one of the four built for production with real performance upgrades (about 330 hp) rather than stock parts. The bright Kosmic Kolor Candy Lime Gold paint, rally‑ready chassis, documented film provenance, and Paul Walker connection all helped skyrocket its collectible value.
The sale proves two things: film cars aren’t just movie props — they’re cultural icons, and Fast & Furious nostalgia pays off big time for classic import culture enthusiasts and collectors alike. With fewer than 6,300 miles on the clock and full authentication included, this Evo isn’t just a car — it’s a legend that will continue to roar in car history books.
