Did they use a real tank in Fast and Furious 6? As it turns out, the film crew needed some actual tanks for the set piece. Along with some rubber-and-wood mock-ups was a real army-surplus fighting vehicle. It was an FV4201 Chieftain, a 56-ton British main battle tank with a 750hp Leyland 19-liter six-cylinder engine and a 120mm rifled main gun.
