What car is Dominic Toretto's signature vehicle?

Dominic Toretto’s signature vehicle is the 1970 Dodge Charger. In the first film, the black Charger is presented as a powerful family heirloom that Dom built with his father, Jack.

Dom tells Brian O'Conner that the car produces about 900 horsepower and that he has never driven it because it scares him. The Charger represents both Dom’s mechanical talent and the painful memory of his father, who died in a stock-car crash. During the film’s climactic race, Dom finally drives it against Brian’s Toyota Supra, but the Charger is destroyed in a collision.

The car returns throughout the franchise in rebuilt or modified forms. Its appearance changes from film to film, including differences in trim, wheels, paint, supercharger, and body design, but the black 1970 Charger remains the character’s defining automobile.

A common mix-up is calling the Toyota Supra Dom’s signature car. The Supra is strongly associated with Brian, while Dom is most closely identified with the classic Dodge Charger, often described more precisely as a Charger R/T.
