Tow Truck #2 / Rosie / Tow the Line




Type: Prime Mover
Faction: 
Donor Vehicle/s: 1980 Mack Superliner
Fate: Destroyed in Namibia

Rosie was used in the Interceptor roll over shots , Fury Road vehicle mechanic Cameron Manwell explains:
" Rosie was actually bought for the Interceptor roll over gig. The 3rd Interceptor (gutted shell) is the car you actually see Max in when it's upside down sliding through the dust towards the camera. 
That car had a huge internal skeleton with a massive pipe through the middle sticking out the back. This was then mounted to a hydraulics rig on the back of Rosie so it could be driven slowly while rotating and dropping the car to the ground to simulate the roll and slide to camera "

The vehicle commonly referred to as "The War Rig" is a 78 foot 18 wheeler based on a Tatra T815, an all-wheel drive truck manufactured in Czech Republic. It has undergone heavy modification, however. The originally placed cab was moved from over the engine to the middle of the chassis.A custom front was fabricated and additional passenger space was added to the back of the cab, built from a widened 1940's Chevrolet Fleetmaster Sedan. The cab doors are rear-hinged (aka. "suicide doors").
The original Tatra engine proved to be underpowered so it was replaced with a 600hp racing engine. It is air cooled with a massive turbine fan hidden behind a custom front grille. There are two dummy (non functional) Holley superchargers protruding through the bonnet to give the apperance of being powered by two engines. Two pairs of exhaust stacks are installed, presumably one for each engine. The truck has a fully functional hydraulically operated plow.
Three identical "War Rigs" were created for the movie , two vehicles survived and remain in storage in Australia
