What are the real life equivalent of the cars?

[Fokkas]

I'm just wondering.. I think the Interceptor (the Wild Hunt body) is closest to a 1970s Ford Falcon, and the Furnace is a Corvette... What are the others? What kind of car is the Ripper? or the Shovelface?

Mad Max may be an "Australian" movie but it does contain "American" cars. Keep in mind Japanese cars are better for Australians as shown by Subaru who have a vehicle named "Outback" after Australia due to how much Australians love Japanese automobiles for their ability to drift and perform better. All of the most popular cars in Australia are Japanese cars since they drift better:

As proof that all Australians prefer drifting here is a link to a youtube trailer of Fast and Furious 7 with almost 1m views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoXdfvT5JkQ

Further proof would be this site in Australian language for Fast and Furious 6, notice the similarities to Mad Max. http://www.fastandfurious6movie.com.au/

The next Mad Max will hopefully have more drifting and japanese cars since their the best race cars in the world people like which is why they sell more units than any other manufacturer because their better.

Conclusion: In real life Australia has more japanese cars than any other country, so we should get more whips in Mad Max for hardcore drifting so the game feels more grim with that post apocalyptic feel the movies go for.

Just like HDMI cables, you are clueless to the Iconic Mad Max heritage
Your trolling is obvious, but thanks anyways

I do have to agree with you on many levels. Japan would be an ideal source of vehicles to Australia because shipments are easier, quantity is higher. But I think the one thing holding vehicle diversity back in Mad Max is that it originally came out in 1979 before Japanese cars became half as famous or developed that they are now. Back then, many Japanese cars were made fun of and humiliated. And George Miller wouldn't just get rid of the heritage or the key ingredient to the Mad Max theme which has all of the fanbase already. If he changed it so drastically he'd alienate his original fanbase and he'd lose millions of dollars.

The other thing I'd have to disagree on is that Mad Max (Mel Gibson) was never a drifter, he was more like a street racer, road persuer, road interceptor, drag racer type driver. He spent long long hours on pavement going down straight highways at top speeds.

As usual, another thread that got way off track.

The best I can tell from the first few posts is that the cars are not actually any makes or models of real cars, but rather hybrids drawn up by the games creators.

[Sephrax]

I think constant "piiffft-piiiffft-piiiffft" sound from gazillion turbos would be immersion breaking feature for some players.

Would turbocharger even work in middle of sandstorm?

Whole point of the movie was Last of the V8 inteceptors, don't remember any Japanese cars being iconic 80's V8s

I still believe it's the gt500 shelby, specially because of the taillights

[Fokkas]

Thanks everyone :) I've been trying to find these answers through google, but whenever it comes to a game that's not been out for an entire year - Google usually knows NOTHING about the game except "view this trailer!" and "this game has this this and that, buy it now".

[ogreballerina]

The Shovelface sure looks like a 65 Fastback or a Shelby.

And the reason there are so many American cars in Mad Max ( the original ) is that AMC supplied them...it's in the credits.

[AlexKidd62[FR]]

well I would say it's neither a fastback nor a shelby due to the pair of front lights on the middle of the calender and also the shape of the hood, so that's why i said it looks more like this http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop/200704/1969-ford-mustang-boss-42-5_600x0w.jpg
you couldn't guess by looking at the taillights because there is no mustang with round one.

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

American cars in MM? are you for real? LOL there was a Monaro, a Ford, that's pretty much it, and some other stuff like a kingswood/sandman panel van and, well iconinc Australian cars
Why would AMC provide American cars for an Australian film?

100% of the cars are frankensteined mix and matching different body, chassis and engines together.
