Mad Max moves from myth to machine with limited edition of replica vehicles

Mad Max is about to spring to life in Australia with a limited edition of screen-accurate replica cars developed under the supervision of original film director George Miller and producer Doug Mitchell.

Mad Max Factory in Queensland will build 25 units from a choice of 20 vehicles in the inaugural collection, created for serious collectors and fans seeking more than nostalgia or static display pieces.

By all accounts, the vehicles are engineered to preserve the raw mechanical language that defined Mad Max for more than four decades: steel, noise, fuel, aggression and survival.

Mad Max Factory says it’s not chasing a soft, polished, digital idea of performance.

Instead, it’s building machines that are “film perfect” and feel as though they belong in a world where revs and Aqua Cola matter.

Each build is designed to remain faithful to the original cinematic vision and the factory has confirmed in its FAQs that street registration is possible depending on your local regulations.

“These vehicles were never meant to feel polished or soft,” said Giuseppe Cassin, director of film and strategic partnerships for Mad Max Factory.

“They were built to feel functional, brutal, and real, and that’s exactly what we wanted to preserve.”

At a time when much of the automotive world is becoming increasingly digital and automated, Mad Max Factory’s approach remains intentionally mechanical and hands‑on because, after all, Mad Max was never simply about the future. It was about survival, scarcity, and what remains when systems fail.

The range is offering a choice of vehicles from the following movies: Mad Max, Mad Max 2, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

Pricing starts at $195,000 and tops at $395,000.

So, for $195,000 you’re looking at the likes of the V8 Pursuit — a two-door Plymouth Valiant converted into a motorcycle carrier — from Furiosa.

For $395,000, there’s the Pursuit Special Interceptor, also known as the “Black-on-Black” Interceptor — a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe from Mad Max.

In between, maybe the March Hare — a 1972 Ford Falcon XA sedan — from Mad Max for $265,000 or the Nux Car — the personal war machine of fan-favourite Nux, the “War Boy”, who begins as an enemy but becomes an unlikely ally in Mad Max: Fury Road for $295,000.

Complete build time from deposit to delivery is six to 18 months, but the factory says Fury Road “priority” builds may be available for those who can’t wait.

Custom modifications are are available across the range.
