By now we are all aware that the fourth installment to the Fast and the Furious movie will be hitting the screens, towing a number of new vehicles in the film that has everyone excited. But while the film is set to be shown on April 3, you can catch a glimpse of the cars in the movie at the Universal Studios Hollywood as the exotic street racers are up for viewing.

The 1987 Buick Grand National and a 2009 Subaru WRX STI that are driven by the stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are parked inside the theme park within arm’s reach of fans and car aficionados.

Adding to the collection of automotive classics, other cars from the Fast & Furious franchise are on display adjacent to the popular “The Fast & The Furious Extreme Close-Up” experience on the behind-the-scenes Studio Tour.

Fast & Furious re-teams Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in the ultimate chapter of the film franchise built on speed. Heading back to the streets where it all began, Diesel and Walker rejoin Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert in the new high-octane action-thriller. The film arrives in theatres on April 3, 2009.

Curvy Road is the oldest and the largest car share membership club in the United States. It specializes in the dealership of the exotic and premium cars. In 2000, it came up with the idea of exotic car share. The concept was approximately the same as the part ownership of corporate jets and  time-shares. Curvy road was among the first companies to have a vision of this exceptional idea of time-sharing of high-end luxury automobiles. The idea was to present an alternate choice of ownership of the exotic and high-end luxury cars.

This allowed the shareholders to own part of the driving rights of a great exotic vehicle, they would like to drive throughout the year, without worrying about the outrageous costs and troubles associated with the outright purchase cost of these vehicles. Since the creation of the company’s exotic car share idea, there are now more than seven hundred and fifty elite members, who share assorted types of premium cars available at the company. The company is enjoying a regular growth rate in its memberships.

There is a new ATV concept on the mend as Platune plans to take on a new challenge in automobile construction. Platune will reportedly enter into a joint venture with Sand-X, a Swiss company specializing in Off-road vehicles to deliver a new kind of all-terrain vehicle.

It was only a question of time before the company would study and expand its focus towards the ATV market. The future collaboration of Platune and Sand-X is not a coincidence but rather a gratifying venture in their mutual quest for luxury, perfection, and exclusiveness. Both companies are aiming for an extraordinary driving experience geared towards the all-terrain vehicles in demand today.

The 0-60mph dash is achieved in just 2.8 seconds. It’s truly all-terrain vehicle (ATV) including sand, snow, pavement and mud. And it can carry people, guns, and cargo over 215mi (350km) through the world’s harshest environments on a single tank of fuel. The track is made of an ultra-durable Kevlar composite.

Pricing is not yet disclosed, but the vehicle is already available in the United Arab Emirates through Exotic Cars Dubai, which should give idea as to their projected target market.

With Paul Walker and Vin Diesel returning in the fourth installment of the Fast and the Furious, you can bet that a lot of car chases and new cars are bound to be unveiled once Fast and Furious hits the theaters this April. Through the previous The Fast and The Furious films, we have seen drifting and cars being crushed and this new one is bound to offer something more than trucks flying around while cars try to avoid them.

This time around, a lot more car stunts are expected and with Diesel back, you can bet old American muscle cars and modern wildly painted cars are going to make “Fast and Furious” a definite must-see.

Check out the ad/trailer from the Super Bowl. Fast & Furious hits theaters on April 3rd 2009.
