Brian O’Conner’s Mitsubishi Eclipse in The Fast and the Furious is green.
The bright green 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is one of the most recognizable cars in the 2001 film. Brian drives it during the early street-racing sequence in Los Angeles, where its appearance helps establish his connection to Dominic Toretto’s group and the underground tuning scene.
The Eclipse was not simply a factory-standard car. Like many vehicles in the movie, it was customized for its screen role with visual modifications intended to reflect the early-2000s import-tuning culture. The car’s vivid paint made it especially easy for audiences to remember among the film’s many heavily modified vehicles.
Viewers sometimes confuse Brian’s Eclipse with other famous cars from the franchise, particularly his blue Nissan Skyline in 2 Fast 2 Furious. Those are different cars from different films. The green Eclipse belongs to the original movie, while the blue Skyline appears in the sequel and has become another defining Brian O’Conner vehicle.
