Mad Max cars sail for Africa

Some of the vehicles for the new Mad Max film Fury Road in storage at Port Kembla.

SOME of the hottest rev-head properties in the world have spent the past few weeks under lock and key at Port Kembla - they are the cars for the next Mad Max film, awaiting transport to Africa.

Security is tight around the dozens of vehicles trucked in from Broken Hill for the fourth instalment of the series, but Fairfax got a sneak peek at some of the trucks and buggies before they shipped out. They include an army of off-road buggies and a posse of menacing-looking trucks.

Also in the collection are several of Max's own pursuit vehicles, made to resemble the ''Interceptor'', a juiced-up Ford XB GT Falcon coupe driven in the original movie. The number of these vehicles suggests Max's car may again meet a fiery end, as it did in Mad Max 2: Road Warrior.

The cars are bound for South Africa, final confirmation that the film has been lost to Australia.

Director George Miller had planned to shoot the new film, Fury Road, near Broken Hill, but there was too much rain last year and the usually-desert location was covered in flowers - scarcely the stuff of post-apocalyptic nightmare.
