A 1999 Nissan Maxima was owned and driven by Vince in The Fast and the Furious.
History[]
The Fast and The Furious[]
The car is first seen when Vince, Letty Ortiz, Jesse and Leon arrive at the Toretto's market, and Brian and Vince fight, it is later seen parked outside the Toretto's house on the night of the street race and the next day Vince arrives for lunch and quickly leaves after seeing Brian is also there.
Vince drives the car to race wars and then uses it to transport him and Dominic Toretto to the location of the Honda Civics and it is never seen again. It's future after the film is unknown but it could've presumably been picked up by Vince.

Trivia[]
- The car was rented from technical advisor Craig Lieberman, out of sheer convenience. No replicas were made for the movie and the transmission was damaged during the burnout outside 1327.
- A replica has been made by Dom Dub.
- The car was chosen because Vince's actor Matt Schulze was too tall to fit in a Toyota MR2 (SW20). It was also revealed that Vince was originally intended to drive a Honda Prelude and director Rob Cohen was unimpressed with the Lexus GS (S140/S160) presented to him.[1]
- During the fight with Brian and Vince, the rear quarter panel of the car was damaged.
- The car played music as a source of entertainment for the extras at Race Wars.
