What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the «Need for Speed» video game series (1994 – present).
  • Taylor Kitsch, Liam Hemsworth, Brenton Thwaites and Luke Bracey were considered for the lead role, but Aaron Paul was ultimately cast.
  • Riley Keough auditioned for the lead female role, which eventually went to Imogen Poots.
  • Prior to filming, actors Aaron Paul and Dominic Cooper received high-speed driving training at the Willow Springs racetrack in California.
  • Six supercars were featured in the film: The Koenigsegg Agera R, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, GTA Spano, Saleen S-7, Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, and McLaren P-1.
  • Aaron Paul and Dominic Cooper's cars were actually driven by well-known racers Tanner Foust and Rhys Millen. Accordingly, other professional racers were behind the wheel of the other "super cars" during the final race, including Rich Rutherford, Tony Brakohiapa, Brent Fletcher, and Paul Dallenbach.
  • Imogen Poots didn't know how to drive before filming began.
  • Director Scott Waugh believed that the role of Toby Marshall should be played by an actor who physically resembled Steve McQueen.
  • Director Scott Waugh and stuntman Lance Gilbert grew up next door to each other. Their fathers were renowned Hollywood stunt performers.
  • To film a close-up of Scott Mescudi at the controls of a flying helicopter, director Scott Waugh, who had worked as a stuntman himself for a time, decided to put his own life at considerable risk. He filmed the scene himself, being in a cradle outside the helicopter, refusing to let the operator take the risk.
  • Besides their professional passion for cinema, brothers George Gaytin and John Gaytin are mad about cars. They have their own garage where they restore classic automobile models.
  • The Mustang in which Toby and Julia race at De Leon was designed to be a true movie hero car. Ford specialists undertook the design of a special Mustang for filming, based on a 2013 Shelby GT500. The car was assembled at the Techno Sports factory in Detroit. The Mustang was improved with a wider body; half-meter alloy wheels (to facilitate various stunts); an eight-cylinder engine capable of speeds exceeding 300 km/h; reinforced suspension; high-strength Bilstein shock absorbers; and a strengthened stabilizer bar. Cameras were built into the futuristic side mirrors. A total of seven Mustangs were used in the film. Each had its own function – one was used for stunts, another was filmed while in motion, and a third was used for stationary shots. There was even a separate Mustang that was lifted by cables on a helicopter.
  • Several remotely controlled cars were used on the set. They accurately replicated the design of the original models. The actor could sit in the driver's seat and deliver lines, while a stunt driver remotely controlled the car. An important component of these cars was a special cage mounted externally – the driver was positioned above the actor.
  • During the scene in the store, when Julia crawls past the DVD display while hiding from the police officer, the film 'Law Abiding Citizen' (2012) – Scott Waugh’s previous directorial work – can be seen among the discs.
  • The song 'Roads Untraveled' by Linkin Park is featured in the film.
  • The protagonist's "Mustang" was sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $300,000 after filming.
  • In the scene where the protagonist arrives at a nighttime race, the drive-in theater is showing the film "Bullitt" (1968), starring Steve McQueen, one of director Scott Waugh's favorite actors.
  • The gas station scene, in which the rear axle is ripped out of the police car with a chain, is a reference to the film "American Graffiti" (1973).
  • The scene where Scott Meskadi and Harrison Gilbertson play a video game features Need for Speed: ProStreet (2007).
  • During the canyon race, Ford's windshield is shown shattered, but the next shot shows it intact again.
  • When a truck crashes into a Ford Mustang, the first shot shows the airbag deploying, but in the next shot, as they are spinning in the air, the airbag is no longer visible.
  • There is an error in the Russian translation: "supercharger" (American English, compressor in European English), which is powered by the engine, was translated as "turbocharger," which is powered by a turbine driven by exhaust gases, hence the name "turbocharger." This is rarely used on American cars, including Mustangs. In the original version, the female character understands engines better.
  • At 59:17, the Mustang has one set of wheels, but after landing, it has another.
  • As the protagonist's car approaches the gas station, the fuel filler cap is seen open, although it was previously closed.
  • In Nebraska, at the gas station, the police car's axle breaks. We see a chain attached to the rear. A couple of shots before that, the police officer ran to the car from the rear as well, and the chain was not visible in that shot. And if it had been there, the officer would have seen it.
  • The film is based on the "Need for Speed" series of video games (1994 – present).
  • Aaron Paul and Dominic Cooper's cars were actually driven by professional racers Tanner Foust and Rhys Millen. Accordingly, other professional racers were behind the wheel of other "super cars" during the final race, including Rich Rutherford, Tony Brakohiapa, Brent Fletcher, and Paul Dallenbach.

  • An error was made in the Russian translation: "supercharger" (American English: supercharger, European English: compressor), which is powered by the engine, was translated as "turbocharger," which is powered by a turbine driven by exhaust gases, hence the name "turbocharger." This is rarely used on American cars, including Mustangs. In the original version, the heroine has a better understanding of engines.
  • At 59:17, the "Mustang" has one set of wheels, and after landing, it has another.
