franchise opens on July 12. Here's a teaser showing the behind-the-scenes filming of the car chases.
The unusual hero car is a vintage Fiat 500, built specially with electric power to be faster and wilder, and it's shot for visceral thrills withMission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One. Top Gun was all about real stunts over CGI, and this latest entrant in Tom Cruise's long-running thriller series looks to also have genuine vehicular carnage.
Powered by a two-cylinder engine that never got a displacement bigger than a bottle of wine, even in the hottest Abarth-tuned models, the average 500 moves slower than a four-course Italian lunch. But in the world of, there's a trick up every sleeve. We first encounter the little yellow Fiat parked up beside a gray Ferrari F12 TdF. Having ditched a battered 5-series, Tom Cruise and Haley Atwell—handcuffed together for greater drama—head straight for the Ferrari as a potential getaway car.
Gone is the clattery two-cylinder engine, and based on the whir of acceleration, it seems to be powered by an electric motor. Judging by the tire-roasting antics as the Fiat 500 drifts over the cobblestones of Rome, there's significantly more power on tap here. The thing sounds like an enraged hand blender and goes like a wasp. In the teaser, Cruise describes the 500 as "wild."It's not the first time a Fiat 500 has starred in a wild car chase.
