What model of car is Dominic Toretto’s iconic black car in The Fast and the Furious?

Dominic Toretto’s iconic black car in The Fast and the Furious is a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T.

The muscle car is introduced as Dom’s powerful project car and becomes one of the most recognizable vehicles in the franchise. It carries a supercharged V8 in the film’s story and represents Dom’s emotional connection to his father, who was also associated with the car.

The Charger’s major action moment comes during the final street race between Dom and Brian O’Conner. The car launches dramatically and crashes after crossing railroad tracks, helping establish the series’ blend of personal drama, racing culture, and spectacular automotive action.

The model is often mixed up with other famous cars from the franchise, especially Brian’s orange Toyota Supra and the green Mitsubishi Eclipse seen in the first film. Those vehicles are important to the story, but neither is Dom’s signature black muscle car.
