This massive rig is as much of a character in the film as any-so it makes sense that it’s driven by the movie’s real hero, bionic-armed Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron).

It may be the most audacious and fascinating vehicle in Fury Road and is every bit as crazy powerful and terrifying as the character driving it. His “Gigahorse” is a behemoth held together by welding two separate Cadillac Coupe DeVille bodies and mounting them atop a huge truck chassis and powered by two turbocharged V-8 engines mounted alongside each other. It’s only fitting that such a cinematic monster gets a ride as menacing as himself. Tyrannical cult leader, Immortan Joe demands much from his subjects who cower in fear and admiration of him.

The supercharger is intact and it is “the last of the V-8 Interceptors.” Clearly, it wouldn’t be a Mad Max movie without it. In the film the car was modified with a four-wheel drive engine and lots of armor plating but throughout these movies it’s been beat up, sandblasted, rusted, and left to rot in the most gloriously cinematic of ways. The styling looks like the lovechild of a ’71 Torino and ’71 Mustang, and that’s very much how the Falcon XB drives. It features a simple unibody structure with an Australian-built 300-hp and a 351-cubic-inch Cleveland pushrod V-8 under-hood hooked to a four-speed manual transmission. Derived from the original U.S.-market 1960 Falcon, the XB Falcon is a straightforward muscle car with a solid rear axle hanging on leaf springs in back.

Rather than use computer or camera effects, every vehicle in the new Mad Max movie is actually a heavily modified existing car, transforming recognizable vehicles into twisted monstrosities fit for demolition derbies of your worst nightmares. When special effects can create anything, the best one are usually the ones that are handmade and actually there, and Mad Max has an arsenal of them. One of the most memorable things about Miller’s post-apocalypse saga following Max, a former highway patrolman who wanders a vast wasteland, has been the distinct vehicles. Fast forward to 2015, Miller has revisited the iconic world he created with Mad Max: Fury Road which has received overwhelming critical acclaim with many critics quick to declare it the greatest action movie of the decade. George Miller’s 1981 film Mad Max: The Road Warrior is one of the best action films of all time, it’s also a landmark, in that has defined the aesthetic for film set in post-apocalyptic (end of the world) scenarios. The Dodge Fire Car of the Citadel, the Caltrop El Dorado, the Buggy Rat Rod Chevy and the Nux car, a 1934 Chevrolet driven by Nicholas Hoult’s chrome-lipped character, will also be up for grabs.Poster from Mad Max Movie.
