Plot
Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul) is a former race car driver who owns a Mount Kisco, New York garage which was owned by his late father, where he and his friends service and tune cars. Struggling to make ends meet, he and his crew, consisting of "Little Pete" Coleman, Tobey's protégé, Benny "The Maverick", the team's air recon pilot, Joe Peck, the team's mechanic, and Finn, the team's computer genius race at night using their modified cars.
During a local racing gathering, Dino Brewster(Dominic Cooper), Tobey's former rival also from Mt. Kisco, arrives at his garage with an offer to complete the build of a rare Ford Shelby Mustang worked on by the late Carroll Shelby along with Ford. Dino wants Tobey and his crew to complete the project in exchange for 25% of the car's estimated selling price of $2 million. Tobey is first reluctant, since Dino is his rival and also took Anita, his former girlfriend and Pete's older sister, from him. However, due to the mortgage problems, he accepts the deal.
Upon completion of the project, the Shelby Mustang is put up for auction at a party. Tobey, Pete and Dino meet Julia (Imogen Poots), an Englishwoman who agrees to pay $3 million if the car can go over 230 mph, as Tobey claims. The next morning at a nearby track, Tobey drives the Mustang against Dino's objections and sets it to 234 mph, which prompts Julia to buy it for 2.7 million. Enraged by Tobey's humiliation and further by Pete's comments that Tobey is a better driver than him, Dino challenges Tobey and Pete to race his uncle's three Koenigsegg Ageras, illegal in the United States cause of their powerful and fast engines, from his uncle's mansion to a bridge over Interstate 684. If Tobey wins, he gets Dino's 75% of the Mustang deal; if he loses, he gives up his 25%.
The guys agree to the deal and decide to race. They manage to outmatch Dino, as they race through the highway. However, Dino, who actually took the deal to get revenge on Tobey, T-Bones Pete, causing him to crash the car and sending it over the bridge, killing Pete. Dino escapes, framing Tobey and reporting that they stole his cars, but that there was no third car and that they only stole two cars, resulting in Toby being sent to prison for car theft and involuntary manslaughter.
Two years later, Tobey is released on parole and he sets out to avenge Pete's death. With the help of Benny, he is able to borrow the Shelby Mustang he had worked on from Julia. Tobey and Julia set to enter the De Leon, a winner-take-all race organized by Monarch(Michael Keaton), an anonymous race enthusiast who created it with the winner taking the cars of all the losers; for this, they have to reach San Francisco before the race starts in two days.Plot[edit]
