THE CARS, THE CARS

I did a little presentation about the cars.  I hope you all get something out of it.  www.heat-ray.com

It seems we needed some news for boosting the forums !

Much confusion regarding the cars used in the film. The vehicle Duvall's character plays, and the vehicle driven by the hologram are both Lola T70 Mark 3 Coupes- there is no doubt about it.

Fiber Fab Inc. built the Avenger GT which is a VW based kit car. 2 were used, which are seen parked in the background when the second T70 crashes into the piler.

The red car parked in the lot beside the white T70 is a Ferrari 330 P3 or P4. Judging by a lack of certain details (ie; incorrect rims and stance, missing vents and louvers), I'd say it's probably a replica. Though Fiber Fab never marketed a 330 P3/P4 kit, it's not unlikely that they fabricated this vehicle for the film.

Fiber Fab may have had something to do with the 'redress' on the T70's also.

One thing I've never been able to verify are the motorcycles used by the police. What I can tell you is that they're not Harley Davidsons. My best guess is that they are either a Triumph Daytona or Bonneville with a modified racing fairing on the front. Norton motorcycle is another possibility.
