Porsche in Gone in Sixty Seconds
Gone in Sixty Seconds is among the most famous car movies of all time. An interesting fact about this movie is that the 996 Porsche 911 featured in it is actually an air-cooled 1978 Porsche 911 model. The moviemakers used an ordered 911 version and covered it with fiber glass bodywork from the new car. This was done because the stunt coordinator required a lighter car to crash making sure no one got injured. The older model was lighter to crash and it was naturally less expensive.
Porsche in Fast Five
Another model that cannot be forgotten when thinking of Porsches in movies is the Porsche 911 GT3 RS featured in Fast Five. In the movie, Paul Walker can be seen driving a 2011 Porsche GT3 RS. Fun fact about the movie is that the Porsche featured in it is actually a 996-series 911 Carrera 2 with new wheels and a graphic package.
