Many more met their demise in the process of filming the explosions and crashes and other destruction. Many of the 150 proved unreliable or were deemed deathtraps unsuitable for filming. That proved easier said than done, especially once filming relocated from Australia to Namibia. Miller's crew dedicated to the mutant vehicles - led by production designer Colin Gibson - reportedly built as many as 150 different vehicles for Fury Road, all of which were required to run, drive, and perform the specified stunts without the aid of CGI.
Thirteen of those vehicles have now resurfaced, not for filming the anticipated Furiosa-focused sequel to the movie but for private bids as part of Australian auction house Lloyds's Grand Carmada Event. Much of the press surrounding the film centered on the vehicles, essentially transforming them into central characters. Mutant vehicles filled the screen, reflecting the toxic environment Miller wished to portray and serving as personality extensions for the characters associated with them.
