Scott also drafted in champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. Each car was then given a performance boost to ensure that it was at peak fitness for the movie's explosive action scenes. Some of the supercar replicas that they used in the movie are: a Koenigsegg Regera, a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, a Saleen S7, a McLaren E1, and a Bugatto Veyron. This was six months before the car was due to have its official debut. Ford had to pull out all the stops to get the brand-spanking new tester, a GT500, over to the film-set in Nevada to hit filming deadlines. And seven of the cars were 2014 GT models, one was a 2015 fastback model. Waugh managed to get hold of eight cars for the production, six of them came from Ford. So he commissioned Technosports Creative and Steeda to build the film cars. Which included giving the standard GT car a much more aggressive look.
He enlisted the help of Ford designer Melvin Betancourt to help him fulfill his vision for the movie car. And being a lifelong fan of Shelby Mustangs, the fast Ford was the obvious choice. He grew up watching '60s and '70s car movies such as Bullitt, Smokey and the Bandit, Grand Prix, and The French Connection. Scott Waugh, the director of the movie, was the man that chose the car.
And, if you’ve seen the film, you’ll know that the stunning muscle car, which steals the show, exchanges hands for a cool $3 million. A car that packs 900 horsepower and one that's capable of reaching a whopping 234 mph. The movie depicts the Mustang that Paul drives as the last car that Caroll Shelby was building when he died.
