During his time in the *Fast and Furious* *family*, Han—played by actor Sung Kang—has driven almost a dozen different cars. However, his most memorable car was the orange and red Mazda RX-7 from Tokyo Drift, a car that was sort of recreated in *F9*, with the new [Toyota Supra](). So fans of the franchise will be happy to see that VeilSide has once again recreated Han's iconic look, this time with the new [Nissan ]()Z. Photographer Larry Chen was able to meet up with the team at VeilSide in Japan to see Han's new car in person and it looks great. VeilSide completely transformed the look of the Z—which was already a good looking car to begin with—to turn it into something suitable for Han to drive. The bolt-on widebody kit makes it just wide enough to fit slightly larger wheels and give it a more aggressive stance, without making it obnoxiously wide. Adding to its movie-ready stance are its air ride suspension and 20-inch two-piece wheels, the latter of which were inspired by those seen on Han's original RX-7. ![]() **Larry Chen** When the [Nissan Z ]()first launched, its only real design criticism was its large rectangular grille. VeilSide fixed that by adding a gorgeous curved front lip that looks incredible from a front three-quarters angle. The new front lip also blends with the widened front fenders, which feature 911 GT2 RS-style vents. At the back end, there's a drag race-style rear spoiler, which is a nod to VeilSide's drag racing days. Inside the car, VeilSide worked with Bride to make carbon fiber racing bucket seats, upholstered in a custom fabric. That same custom fabric and pattern extends to the dash trim and door panels, too. ![]() **Larry Chen** VeilSide brought this custom Nissan Z to the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon over the weekend and there's a chance you might get to see it on the big screen. During this video, VeilSide's overseas sales boss Hideki Omi was noncommittal about this Nissan Z being in the upcoming Fast and Furious movie. So keep an eye out, as Han might ride in the orange and black once again, just this time in a Nissan Z. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm6j2uIgY-Y *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
