Fast & Furious Car Tour Brings Brian's GT-R to Japan for 25th Anniversary
A film-production GT-R touring 11 Japanese venues puts the franchise's car culture in reach of domestic fans a decade after Paul Walker's death, with the tour leaning on places tied to the films.

The Fast & Furious Car Tour 2026 starts November 7 in Hyogo Prefecture, with the film-used Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) driven by Brian O'Conner in 2 Fast 2 Furious set for its first appearance in Japan. The tour runs through 11 locations nationwide, including Tokyo Comic Con 2026 and D1 Grand Prix rounds in Tokyo, ending December 19 and 20 at VARIEGATOR in Aichi. Venues will hand out exclusive 25th Anniversary stickers to the first 500 visitors each day.
The 25th anniversary announcement landed on October 20, the same date the first film opened in US theaters. The tour covers 11 venues from Hyogo to Aichi, with a 25th-anniversary-spec truck hauling the GT-R between stops. Each venue gives the first 500 visitors a 25th Anniversary Sticker. An SNS hashtag campaign with lottery prizes runs alongside.
