Cars are the protagonists in “Baby Driver”; knows five of the models that appear in the new film by Edgar Wright.

In Baby Driver , the new film by American director Edgar Wright ( Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz ), the great chases and the musical selection create a unique atmosphere, full of style and adrenaline. Therefore, this action film cannot be understood without the cars that Baby, the main character, played by Ansel Elgort, uses.

Director Edgar Wright wanted to make the action scenes as realistic as possible. Jeremy Fry, who coordinated the Baby Driver stunts , points out that doing it differently, and adding cars via CGI car photography, doesn’t feel real. “When I read the script, I didn’t find anything that was impossible to do.”

Fry revealed that Elgort performed many of the film’s maneuvers, but had to limit himself due to the complexity of certain stunts, as well as the availability of the protagonist, who was sometimes filming while the second unit was filming a chase scene. Also, the Subaru featured in the tape became Ansel Elgort’s first car, who later had to call Fry because he couldn’t remember how to reverse his car, as it had a standard transmission.

These are some of the most representative models from the film, which will hit commercial theaters on August 11.
