Holding a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide, the iconic 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is now available to race with in the game. Its muscular frame and powerful stance will make it instantly recognisable on the track, striking fear into all opponents. Fast & Furious is the essence of adrenaline-filled action, and the Charger isn’t the only adrenalised vehicle. Just like Brian O’Conner earned Dom Toretto’s respect, his Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 willquicklyconquerplayers in the game with its all-wheel drive and massive twin turbos. Nevertheless, the most nostalgic fans of the Saga will be eager to drive the ‘95 Mitsubishi Eclipse in the game, the compact sports car that marked O’Conner’s entry into the underground racing scene. Moreover, the W Motors Lykan HyperSport will add a touch of flair to the pack with its futuristic, luxury designs.
The Fast & Furious Expansion Pack also includes Dom’s Garage, a mixed environment featuring the garage itself and Dom’s backyard where players will experience the atmosphere inspired by one of cinema’s most popular global franchises.
“We’re injecting a high-powered boost of nitrous into our collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences by steering more of the Fast & Furious franchise’s legendary cars into Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged,” said Mike DeLaet, Global Head of Digital Gaming at Mattel. “This high-octane expansion is the perfect blend of speed and style, embodying the iconic essence of both iconic brands for fans to enjoy.”
The Fast & Furious Expansion Pack is included in both the Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 – Turbocharged Legendary Edition and the Season Pass Vol. 2, and can also be purchased separately.

About THE FAST SAGA
Over the course of eleven films that have stoked passion in an ever-expanding audience and have earned more than $7 billion at the worldwide box office, Universal Pictures’ record-smashing, homegrown Fast & Furious Saga has become the studio’s most-profitable and longest-running franchise. Across social media platforms, the fan following for the movies and cast has grown into the biggest of any active franchise. On the heels of 2017’s The Fate of the Furious, which debuted in theaters as the biggest global opening of all time, the blockbuster franchise has expanded to a multitude of offerings – from toys and video games to an animated series and the successfully launched spin-off franchise, Hobbs & Shaw. The tenth and most recent chapter in the Fast & Furious Saga, Fast X, raced into theaters May 2023.
