A legendary Mazda RX-7, made famous by The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, has hit the auction block. This particular car has been fully restored to replicate the on-screen icon, complete with the aggressive Veilside Fortune widebody kit that made it a standout in the film.
The listing, hosted on Torque Café, presents a rare chance to own one of the most instantly recognizable JDM cars in modern pop culture.
Official Restoration by VEILSIDETOKYO
The RX-7 underwent a detailed three-month restoration handled by VEILSIDETOKYO, the official VeilSide dealer located in Kanagawa, Japan. The rebuild remained faithful to the original movie design, featuring the same signature body kit in gunmetal grey with subtle custom touches like a slightly lowered stance for added aggression. Every element, from the sculpted fenders to the distinctive nose and tail treatment, screams cinematic heritage.
Mechanical Upgrades by K-Factory
More than just a visual replica, the car was also technically rejuvenated. K-Factory, a respected Fuji-based tuning workshop, upgraded the suspension system and reconditioned the engine and gearbox. The RX-7 was dyno-tested to confirm its mechanical health, while undercarriage inspections ensured it would drive as well as it looks.
Interior Maintains Originality
Inside the car, the restoration retained the original RX-7 cabin layout. The interior has been carefully preserved, with attention given to weather seals, rubber bushings, and other worn elements, all replaced with factory-quality parts. This commitment to authenticity gives buyers the feel of stepping into a preserved time capsule from the mid-2000s tuner era.
Certification and Documentation
To boost buyer confidence, VEILSIDETOKYO issued a certification for the build and included complete documentation of all parts and labour. The car’s build sheet, invoices, and records are available, reinforcing the quality and authenticity of this tribute car.
A Piece of JDM and Movie History
This RX-7 is more than just a fast car with a famous bodykit—it’s a rolling piece of cinematic and Japanese automotive history. It’s a rare opportunity for collectors, movie buffs, and JDM fans to own a fully restored, movie-correct Mazda RX-7 that not only looks like its Hollywood twin but performs with confidence and integrity.
