Action, family, and fast vehicles have been the main draws of the Fast & Furious franchise since its inception. Dominic Toretto’s crew has come up with inventive methods to use their cars throughout the series, from driving between skyscrapers in Abu Dhabi to drifting through the congested streets of Tokyo. The characters who drive, however, are the highlight of these fantastical action scenes.
Over 100 people who are either friends, enemies, or both make up the Furious franchise, which spans thirteen projects, including ten mainstream movies, one popular spinoff, and two short films. Some drivers immediately establish themselves as the road gurus, even though the majority of these individuals get to show off their driving prowess.
Jordan Iacobucci provided the following update on December 18, 2024: The thrilling Fast and Furious movie series comes to a close with Fast X. Numerous characters have driven throughout the past 20 years, demonstrating that they are among the franchise’s fastest drivers. Viewers are left wondering which of these characters is actually the fastest driver as they wait for the next episode of the action-packed franchise.
In Furious 7, Nathalie Emmanuel, who played Missandei in Game of Thrones, made her debut in the Fast and Furious series as Ramsey, the hacker. Ramsey has continued to be a crucial component of the Fast Family and the movies ever since. Despite not being the fastest driver in the group, she is undoubtedly becoming better at it.
F9: The Fast Saga famously exposed Ramsey’s complete inability to drive, which made her a huge anomaly among her pals. However, it seems that Ramsey has improved her driving skills with Fast X, as she exhibits some potential when it comes to operating a motor vehicle.
Despite being frequently ignored in the series, Mia, the sister of Dominic Toretto, is a pivotal figure in the franchise, having made her debut in The Fast and the Furious. From one movie to the next, Jordana Brewster’s character alternates between the main cast and the supporting/secondary cast.
When Mia assisted in smashing a prison bus to free her brother Dom, viewers witnessed her brilliance in Fast Five. When Mia assisted in capturing Owen Shaw’s cargo plane during the runway heist, one of the best action scenes in the movie, she also demonstrated her importance to the crew’s success in Fast & Furious 6.
With the release of the fourth movie, Fast & Furious, Gal Gadot’s character Gisele Yashar emerged as a pivotal member of the Fast and Furious family. After working with drug lord Braga, Gisele joined Dominic Toretto’s team and participated in multiple heists until her purported death at the conclusion of Fast & Furious 6. With Gal Gadot making a brief appearance at the conclusion of Fast X, it was eventually discovered that Gisele had survived.
Even though Gisele was an extremely skilled driver, she sadly didn’t have many driving scenes in the Fast and Furious series. She keeps up with many of the team’s top drivers in the few driving moments she appears in, showcasing her remarkable abilities. She should get more driving time as a result of her role in the upcoming eleventh Fast and Furious movie.
Playing Luke Hobbs, an Interpol agent pursuing Dominic Toretto, Dwayne Johnson entered the franchise in 2011’s Fast Five. Luke Hobbs is unendingly quotable, amusing, and always suitable for a fast-paced battle scene in a Fast & Furious movie. But compared to other series characters, Luke’s driving prowess can be overlooked by many spectators.
Even though Luke Hobbs has frequently shown that he can keep up with some of the Fast Family’s fastest drivers, Johnson’s character frequently favors larger cars that move more slowly but are nonetheless very powerful. As a result, Luke frequently drives armored vehicles outfitted with weaponry fit for a tank.
Tej Parker, a mechanic with a love for racing who made his debut in 2 Fast 2 Furious, has grown to become a beloved part of the Furious family. Tej, played by Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, has become the team’s go-to tech specialist and frequently collaborates with Ramsey, played by Nathalie Emmanuel.
Tej Parker hasn’t done much driving during the series, but when he does, he does it well. Although Tej isn’t the most impressive driver on Dom’s team, he has good driving skills. He has proven himself in numerous automobile chases, such as the street racing scenes in 2 Fast 2 Furious and the Jeep Wrangler chase in Furious 7.
Vince, portrayed by Matt Schulze, made his debut as a member of Dom’s crew in The Fast and the Furious. Perhaps his greatest trait is his devotion to the Furious family. Vince was also the only one who suspected Brian of being an undercover police officer when he attempted to join the team.
Vince was faster than any driver who appeared in Fast Five and subsequent versions because of his experience as a street racer. He repeatedly puts his life in danger for the Toretto family, which ultimately results in his death in Fast Five when he rescues Luke Hobbs and the other members of the Furious family.
In Fast & Furious 6, Vegh was a part of Owen Shaw’s anti-Toretto squad. She was Brian O’Conner’s dark opposite and Owen’s right-hand woman. She and the other members of Shaw’s squad try to strike military sites during the movie’s events in order to prevent the Torettos from catching up to them. This puts her in direct opposition to Dom’s crew, where she demonstrates her driving prowess.
Despite being a very minor character, Vegh is one of the franchise’s fastest drivers. She challenges the Toretto crew to a high-speed chase and demonstrates that she is at least as quick as some of the team members. But during the last conflict between Shaw and Toretto, Vegh perishes in an automobile accident.
International criminal Owen Shaw meets Dominic Toretto for the first time in Fast & Furious 6. Leading a shadowy counterpart to Dominic Toretto’s team, Shaw effortlessly executes criminal heists and terrorist attacks, essentially daring Dom to pursue him. Their rivalry culminates in a titanic battle on the longest runway in the world, where Dom’s team ultimately defeats Shaw’s.
Like the most of the antagonists in Fast & Furious, Shaw is a competent driver. His brother Deckard, who plays an opponent and then an ally in subsequent Fast and Furious films, is obviously a faster driver than he is. Although Owen is no slouch, Dom and his crew ultimately defeated him because of his mediocre rather than exceptional driving skills.
Isabel Neves, the sister of Dominic Toretto’s late ex-lover Elena, is introduced to him during the events of Fast X. In order to get money, Isabel, a street racer in Brazil, spends her time competing in dangerous races. However, Isabel is pulled into a wider realm of global espionage following a terrifying meeting with the evil Dante Reyes.
Isabel’s racing isn’t shown to audiences very often during Fast X competitions. When it is revealed that Dante set a bomb on her car, she is ejected off the road, marking the conclusion of the sole race she takes part in throughout the movie. Isabel exhibits promise, but she hasn’t had the opportunity to demonstrate her true speed yet. Fans should expect to witness a lot more of her driving prowess in Fast X, Part 2.
In The Fast and the Furious, Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) made his debut as an undercover detective looking into a string of semi-trailer truck hijackings. Through this assignment, he meets Dominic Toretto, who convinces Brian to leave the FBI to exact revenge for the alleged death of his wife, Letty. Additionally, Brian meets Mia, with whom he marries and has a child.
What distinguishes Brian from the other members of the Furious family is his passion for racing. Brian’s character and tenacity enabled him to advance as a driver and rank among the quickest in the franchise, starting from modest beginnings in The Fast and the Furious and rising to Dom’s level in Fast & Furious. Brian is among the fastest drivers in the Fast & Furious franchise, however he might not be as quick as one of his partners.
Although his team has taken part in some of the most outrageous vehicle stunts in movies, Dominic Toretto is the fastest driver in the Fast & Furious series. The fact that Vin Diesel’s character has been and probably always will be the best driver in the Fast Family is evident in every movie.
It turns out that Dom actually takes chances every time he gets behind the wheel and lives life one quarter mile at a time. His senses are frequently sharpened in times of danger, and he never falters in the face of danger. Dom has continuously shown himself to be the best driver on his squad, whether it’s racing over a cliff in Fast Five or leaping between skyscrapers in Furious 7. Nothing has compelled him to depress the accelerator thus far.
