Mad Max Factory to offer collector-grade, officially licensed builds

One of cinema’s most iconic automotive worlds is being brought into physical reality thanks to Mad Max Factory, which has unveiled a limited collection of officially licensed vehicles from the Max Max film franchise.

Developed under the supervision of Mad Max co-creator and director George Miller alongside Fury Road and Furiosa producer Doug Mitchell, each of these vehicles have been created for serious collectors and fans who are looking for more than just a static display piece.

Only 25 vehicles form the Mad Max Factory’s inaugural collection, each of which will be built with the aim of being “film perfect”. Rather than chasing a slick look and feel, each of these machines are set to truly emulate the rugged, post-apocalyptic nature of the film series.

“These vehicles were never meant to feel polished or soft,” explains 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.”

As a result, each of these machines are designed to remain faithful to the original cinematic vision, with the inaugural collection including the likes of the iconic Pursuit Special Interceptor to various Main Force Patrol vehicles.

Additionally, the outfit also offers a range of screen-accurate parts for those looking to build their own Mad Max inspired builds.

The full range of vehicles and information on the order process for securing your own wasteland warrior can be found at madmax.com.au, with the build process for those looking to secure their collector-grade Mad Max car between 6-18 months.
