The Hidden Truth Behind The Mad Max Cars

The entire franchise received the most appreciation for the use of spectacular vehicles. So, sit tight and fasten your seatbelts as we explore the hidden truths about Mad Max cars!
They Performed Real Life Stunts
Instead of using computer-generated graphics and stunt performers, many actors preferred performing their stunts. It means that the movie requires safe and controllable cars for supporting actions. Each vehicle that features in the film adhered to safety and action!
The designers created vehicles for stunts keeping safety and character arcs in mind. Different departments collaborated to deliver artistic and mechanically sound vehicles.

Mad Max Cars Use Recycled Scrap Parts
One of the most interesting unknown truths about Mad Max cars is recycled scrap elements. The crew and directors used this concept to add to the post-apocalyptic aesthetics of the film.
Since things around us degrade after an apocalypse, the cars in film were also designed to convey the same message. The film used old Camaros and fitted mismatching parts on various vehicles.
Not Up for Resale After Use on Sets
Every Mad Max fan dreams of owning a car from the film series. Unfortunately, that is not possible! The vehicle creations are futuristic and off-beat, and no sell-off is involved in the vehicles or parts. The crew also encountered insurance problems since the cars came with multiple engines and weird designs.

The Cars are Donned with Skulls
There is no denying that these cars have an unmatchable design and aesthetics. It is hard to replicate the concept and structure of the Mad Max cars in every manner.
The skulls donned on these cars add to the uniqueness and weirdness of Mad Max cars. The vehicles feature a combination of human and animal heads. The idea behind using skulls on vehicles is to appear as a fetish that replicates post-apocalyptic visions.
They are Designed for Performance
Most people think that cars used in films are dummies and scraps with no purpose or features. Well, things are not the same with Mad Max cars. The cars had to perform stunts, and the makers made sure they offered a power-packed performance.
The crew made sure not to ignore performance and focus on the design and looks. The team experimented with a slew of technology and components to the car's exteriors. These cars were not only operating but also delivered outstanding performance!
