Mad Max will ‘hit the roads’ with 25 official replica cars now up for grabs.
Built in Australia, the licensed cars will be the product of Mad Max Factory, developed under the supervision of the original film director, George Miller and film collaborator Doug Mitchell.
The Queensland-based company says it is the top licensed builder of screen-accurate Mad Max vehicles with over 25 years of automotive fabrication and film prop recreation.
Soft is not an adjective the Factory wants applied to these vehicles as it chases ‘film perfection’ nor are the vehicles fitted with digital technology.
TRUE TO THE MAD MAX FILM
It says each car built is faithful to the original cinematic vision, mean looking and mechanical in operation.
It takes 6-18 months from deposit to delivery, the company says on its website.
The company takes a non-refundable $50,000 deposit on each order and ships overseas.
“These vehicles were never meant to feel polished or soft,” says Giuseppe Cassin, the director of Film & Strategic Partnerships for the company.
“They were built to feel functional, brutal, and real. That’s exactly what we wanted to preserve.”
At a time when much of the automotive world is becoming increasingly digital and automated, the Factory says its approach remains intentionally mechanical and hands‑on.
The cars are aimed squarely at collectors and fans who want more than static display piece. The Factory says that the 25 cars are not part of a mass production run.
The vehicles have been drawn from the Mad Max 1, 2 (Road Warrior), Furiosa and Fury Road movies.
The range includes modified Fords (including the iconic Falcon XB Pursuit Special Interceptor), Holdens, Ford Landau, VW, Chrysler, Plymouth Valiant, Dodge Charger.
