Use only the best drivers

'We brought many drivers over from Los Angeles, but we used some Brits too. We had Ben Collins, who used to be the Stig in Top Gear. He's amazing, he will push the limit every time. It's why he was used in the latest Bond film too.

'These guys know how to make the cars look dramatic on screen. You can't fake this; it's a real skill.'

 Keep it real

'We choose mainly rear-wheel drive cars, as they oversteer more and look more dramatic when they move around. They need a locking rear differential so both wheels spin together. It makes for more dramatic slides - and we always disable the traction and stability control. We do the cars up in our own workshop.

'For cars central to the plot we sometime build a hero car and then some stunt versions too. All will have roll cages in, beefed-up engines and we remove the airbags. There's no point in disabling them; with what we do to them, the airbags will go off anyway.'

 Keep it real

Most of what we do will be planned using our experience, rather than computer-generated special effects. I'd say 95% of the stunts in Fast And The Furious 6 were done using our combined expertise. It wasn't really done on computer. If we're doing a really long and complicated motorcycle jump or something like that, we will probably check our maths on a computer simulator, but that's not really my bag.

'There's a lot of realism in this film. Many films make it up, but I think the viewer can tell the difference. You can't always do the car stunts where you want, however. You can't crash a car in central London, for instance; we did it elsewhere and then used CGI (computer generated imagery) to put it into our chosen location.'

Have a good budget

Doing major car stunts costs money. And lots of it. We spent millions of dollars in The Fast And The Furious 6 just on car chases and stunts. One sequence alone cost $1.5 million.

'Just think of what's involved. We have to source and prepare hundreds of cars, we have to transport them around the globe, we have a large team of mechanics to look after them, we have lorries galore, large insurance bills, the cost of hiring the best drivers in the business and we even had to hire a fork-lift truck for one scene. And when you see the locations in our movie, you'll realise they don't come cheap.'

Use toy cars to see what the scene will look like

Once we've read the script, we bring in the directors and work up some rough sketches. We mess around and will often use a set of toy cars. We position them to see how they'll look on camera - we can enact the stunts with the miniature vehicles.

'It gives us a feel for how the scene will look when we film for real: the angles, how cars will roll, how they'll spin. We try and establish agreement early on between all parties what we are going to do.'

secrets of filming

What makes the perfect car chase for a Hollywood blockbuster? Who better to ask than Dennis McCarthy, the stunt coordinator of the new The Fast And The Furious 6 movie. MSN asked him for his top tips for filming dramatic car chases.

200mph plug-in hybrid flying car

The TF-X’s standout feature is its ability to take off and land vertically, thanks to twin rotor blades. Once airborne, the TF-X can fly at 200mph (approx. 322kmh) and seat four people.

The exact powerplant hasn’t been announced, but Terrafugia confirmed the car would be a plug-in hybrid (like a Vauxhall Ampera) with electric motors to help it take off and a petrol engine to propel it in flight.

Least economical car: 15.4mpg Ferrari FF (18.3 litres per 100 kilometres)

The days of gas guzzlers are fast disappearing. Under pressure to reduce CO2, everyone’s getting fuel-efficient – why, even a McLaren MP4 does 24.2mpg. The FF returns just 15.4mpg on the combined cycle

Most economical car: 313mpg Volkswagen XL1

313mpg (0.9 litres per 100 kilometres) is a pretty impressive fuel economy figure for a car with a diesel engine, even if it is part of a plug-in hybrid powertrain. What makes the XL1 special is that it’s actually going into production: VW is going to build 250 examples, at an as yet unspecified price313mpg Volkswagen XL1

Widest production car: Dodge Ram 3500

Feeling fat? You need a Dodge Ram 3500 Crew Cab with the dual rear wheel option. Measuring a gut-spreading 2,438mm (96in) wide, it’s comfortably the most obese car on the planet.

Lightest production car: Peel P50

The Peel P50 made on the Isle of Man between 1962 and 1966 weighed less than an average male adult, at a mere 59kg (130lb). Remarkably, the Peel is now back in production with an electric motor instead of the original 49cc moped engine.

Fastest-selling car: Ford F-Series

If you thought the 1964 Ford Mustang was the fastest-selling car ever, think again. The Blue Oval was indeed responsible for the hottest property on the planet, but it was the humble Ford F-Series pick-up. In one month (July 2005), Ford churned out no less than 126,905 of them.

Longest skidmarks: 6 miles (9.7 kilometres)

When Craig Breedlove lost control of his jet-powered Spirit of America land speed record car on the Bonneville salt flats in Utah in October 1964, the skidmarks he left measured six miles long. The longest skidmarks measured on a public road were made by a Jaguar on the M1 near Luton in 1960: in an era before anti-lock brakes, they were all of 290m (950ft) long.

Fastest car (top speed): 430kph Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

Earlier in 2013, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport was stripped of its Guinness record because its speed limiter had been deactivated, but it’s since been reinstated. The final v-max figure was 267.9mph (430kph), achieved in July 2010 at VW’s Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany with Bugatti’s Pierre-Henri Raphanel at the wheel.

Fastest-accelerating car: Ariel Atom V8

The current Ariel Atom 3.5 is claimed to have a 0-62mph time of 2.7sec, but with a 500bhp V8 engine, a 0-60mph time of 2.3sec is quoted. Is that really achievable though? Well, one magazine did do 3.02sec with two people on board, so a significantly sub-3.0 second time does seem possible.

Highest altitude reached in a car: 6,688m in a Suzuki Samurai

The highest altitude ever reached by a car is 6,688m (21,942ft), up in the Andes. Chileans Gonzalo Bravo and Eduardo Canales took their 1986 Suzuki Samurai to the peak of a volcano in the Atacama region of Chile in April 2007.

Longest car: 100ft limo

The longest car ever built was, naturally, created in America. Legendary custom car guru Jay Ohrberg made the 100ft (30.5m)-long Cadillac limousine, which boasts 26 wheels, two driver's cabins (one up front and one in the rear) and has a hinged section in the middle so that it can actually get around corners. The spec list features a Jacuzzi, swimming pool, king-size bed and – yes – a helipad.

£12m Ferrari 250 GTO (USD $18m)

British DJ Chris Evans was the man who splashed out £12m on the car of his dreams: a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO. Sold by RM Auctions in 2010, it just beats the next most costly classic – another Ferrari, this time a 1957 250 Testa Rossa – which sold for £10.2m (USD $15.4) in 2011. According to some reports, though, another 250 GTO sold privately in 2012 for even more than this – a reputed £22m (USD $33m).

€3m Lamborghini Veneno (USD $3.9 million)

Three million Euro is what Lamborghini will charge you for its new 750bhp, 356kph Veneno. Well actually, it won’t charge you that, as all three examples that are set to be built were pre-sold before the car’s 2013 Geneva Motor Show launch.

Heaviest limo: 23-ton Midnight Rider

It looks like an articulated truck – OK, it is an articulated truck – but Midnight Rider is actually a gigantic limousine. Created by Michael Machado and Pamela Bartholomew of the US (of course), it weighs a mighty 22,933kg, measures 21.3m (70ft) long and is 4.1m (13ft 8in) high. It can accommodate up to 40 passengers in supreme luxury.

Highest mileage: 3 million miles in a Volvo P1800

American Irvin Gordon is a bit of a legend. He bought his Volvo P1800S new in 1966 and now, aged 73, he’s covered very nearly three million miles (4.82 kilometres) in it, averaging around 60,000 miles (96,561 kilometres) per year. Volvo has just shot a video of him preparing for his 3 millionth mile, which he expects to complete in July 2013.

Smallest road-legal car

According to Guinness World Records, the smallest roadworthy car is ‘Wind Up’ – a converted Postman Pat children’s ride, which measures 52in (1,321mm) long, 26in (660mm) wide and 41in (1,040mm) tall. We’ve found a smaller one though: the Aphaenogaster by Californian Neal Ormond – it’s just 40in (1,016mm) long, 22in (559mm) wide and 20in (508mm) tall.

Longest distance driven on two wheels

You might have seen an impressive video of Terry Grant completing the hillclimb at Goodwood on two wheels in a Nissan LEAF, but we’ve got to take our hats off to Michele Pilia of Italy. In February 2009, he drove a 1983 BMW 316 E30 on two wheels for fully 371.07 kilometres.Longest distance driven on two wheels

Fastest speed driven by a blind driver: 182mph (293kph) in a Ferrari

I like the sound of Metin Senturk of Turkey. Not only is he president of the World Handicapped Foundation, he’s also a well-known folk singer and now a Guinness record holder. He’s driven a car faster than any other blind person: 182.03mph (293kph) in a Ferrari F430.Fastest speed driven

Most donuts: 280 in a Westfield

If there’s a difference between drifting and doing donuts, it’s surely the tightness of the turn. Dizziness is the limiting factor here, I reckon, and Jamie Morrow must have been swooning mightily after completing 280 consecutive donuts in a Westfield Sport 1600 at the 2011 Trax event at Silverstone.

Longest drift: 51.3 miles in a BMW M5

In May 2013, Johan Schwartz of the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina drifted a BMW M5 continuously for fully 51.3 miles (82.6 km). That beats the previous record set by Abdo Feghali in a Chevrolet Camaro by over 40 miles (64 kilometres). There is some erudite discussion among drifters as to what exactly the distinction is between drifting in a circle (which is what Schwartz did) and doing donuts (see next slide). We’ll get back to you on that.

World record-breaking cars

The motto of the Olympic Games is ‘faster, higher, stronger’ – well, you’re about to see the results of that same brave attitude applied to cars. Here are 20 of the car world’s greatest Olympians: the longest, fastest, highest, priciest and – yes – skiddiest cars ever.World record-breaking cars

Honda NSX 

Honda has rolled out yet another version of its NSX concept at Detroit 2013. Still, with super lightweight materials, a mid-mounted V6 engine, a trick all-wheel drive system and petrol-hybrid technology, this is one supercar we can't wait to see. Build it now, Honda.

Mercedes-Benz E63

If the BMW isn't your thing how about the latest E63 AMG from Mercedes-Benz? The E-Class gets a mid-life facelift, but the big news is the modifications to the 5.5-litre V8 engine, which now develops 549hp, or 577hp with the newly named 'S-Model' package. For us it has to be the £77,000 (approx. $123,269) estate version. Utterly bonkers.

BMW M6 Gran Coupe

It will cost nearly £25,000 (approx. $40,023) more than the BMW M5 and at a price just shy of £97,500 (approx. $156,088), is some £3,500 (approx. $5,603) more expensive than the M6 Coupe, but there's no denying the appeal of this Grand Tourer. Then again, it's hard not to like a rear-wheel drive, 560hp twin-turbo V8 car with four doors.

Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible

Start forming an orderly queue behind the Premier League footballers – the Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible has arrived. It's the fastest four-seat convertible in the world and will reach speeds in excess of 200mph (approx. 322km/h). That is unless you meet someone with a heavily modified Talbot Samba cabriolet…

Hyundai HCD-14

The HCD-14 Genesis concept is a preview of the shape of things to come for Hyundai, which on the evidence of the concept unveiled in Detroit is no bad thing. Rear-hinged doors at the back and no B-pillar, as well as a 5.0-litre V8 engine – time to start making demands at your local Hyundai dealer.

Maserati Quattroporte

The sixth generation Quattroporte is lighter and longer than its predecessor, with power coming from a 453hp 4.7-litre Ferrari-built V8 engine. We've already driven it and found its pace and handling simply superb. It's closer to the likes of Audi and Porsche than ever before but has the kind of soul its German rivals can only dream of.

Infiniti Q50

Sporting the world’s first fly-by-wire steering system the Infiniti Q50 is likely to prove controversial – but a four-door saloon developed with the help of Sebastian Vettel and Sebastien Buemi demands a certain amount of expectation. Can it beat the Germans at their own game?

 Nissan GT-R

A gold Nissan GT-R complete with real gold interior fittings isn't everyone's cup of tea. In fact, it's hardly anyone's cup of tea. But as it's been built with the help of Usain Bolt and will be sold on eBay to raise money for young people in Jamaica, it's actually rather cool. Can't wait for the Mo Farah edition.

Cadillac ELRCadillac ELR

It's billed as the world's first Extended Range Electric Vehicle delivered by a luxury brand. It’s essentially a re-bodied Chevrolet Volt that's been tweaked, enhanced and tuned to bring it in line with the Cadillac brand. We could describe the running gear, but instead sit back and marvel at its wonderful stance, 20-inch alloys and glorious shoulder line.

VL Destino

Take one Fisker Karma four-door saloon, strip out the heavy hybrid drivetrain and battery pack, replace with a 7.0-litre V8 engine, slap a new grille on the front and what do you get? The £110,000 ($176,099) 638hp VL Destino.

Audi RS7 Sportback

So you don't need the space and practicality of the recently launched Audi RS6 Avant, but you do fancy the 560hp 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo petrol engine? Then the Audi RS7 Sportback is for you. Tick the Dynamic Plus option box and this autobahn stormer will hit 189mph (approx. 296km/h) and accelerate to 62mph (approx. 100km/h) from rest in 3.9 seconds. It's expected to cost £84,000 (approx. $134,476) when it goes on sale in the summer

Tesla Model X

VW CrossBlue

We're not sure why we like the CrossBlue concept, but we do. Perhaps it's the fact the diesel plug-in hybrid offers 300hp and 89mpg? Or maybe it's the potential 2,000 litres of luggage space? Or maybe it's the iPad Minis in the head restraints? Actually it's the dark stained banana tree wood on the interior.

 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

It's the Detroit Motor Show so we couldn't possibly start with anything other than the new Corvette Stingray C7. It's the return of the iconic Stingray name after a 37-year absence and face it, the 450hp 6.2-litre V8 'Vette is as American as mom's apple pie. Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
