The 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is the main car that Dominic Toretto drives in the series. It has been destroyed and rebuilt constantly. Dom’s Charger has the highest appearance count for the same exact car in multiple movies, having appeared in 4 movies.
Dom keeps the 1970 Classic Dodge Charger in his garage and tells Brian that it used to belong to his father. Dom says that he and his father built it together when he was young. The car is famed for its incredible power at 900hp and holding a record 1/4 mile time at just nine seconds flat, set by Dom’s father, a stock car racer. Years ago Dom’s father was forced into a wall at 120mph and killed in an accident caused by a fellow racer named Kenny Linder during the last race of the season. Dom adds that due to the sheer power the car possess as well as the fact that his father died in the car, he has never gotten the nerve to drive it, adding that “it scares the shit” out of him.
When Johnny Tran does a drive by and kills Jesse, a pursuit starts with Brian and Dom chasing after him, Brian driving the Supra and Dom driving the only car left – the Charger. Dom uses it to knock Lance Nguyen off his bike and down a hill. When Johnny is killed by Brian, he and Dom meet up at a red light ready to race. As the light turns green, Dom does a wheelie which shows the raw power of the R/T. Brian must use his nitrous oxide to simply keep up with the Charger. They approach an oncoming train but both drive through the barrier and narrowly miss hitting the train. After landing, both he and Brian are seen smiling as the race is over, but Dom hits the end of a semi-truck. This sends him and the Charger airborne and then rolling over numerous times. Although Dom survives with minor injuries, the Charger is rendered inoperable, at which point Brian hands over the Supra to Dom, leaving the Charger on the road.
