Dystopian fire-breathing vehicles of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ go up on auction

Even if the vehicles don’t look visually appealing to some, petrolheads all over the world have gone gaga after hearing those monstrous engines revving in the movie ‘’Mad Max: Fury Road’. The news is that 13 of the vehicles featured in the movie are going up on auction at the Lloyds Classic Car Auctions.

“Mad Max was always about cars. The cars were a metaphor for power. The one thing that George (director) was very keen on and understood that in a world where there was next to nothing, what little is left need to be loved”, said Australian Production Designer Colin Gibson in a video dedicated to the vehicles of the movie. Colin went on to win four different awards in 2015 & 2016 for his work in Fury Road.
