The cars are as much a character in Twisted Metal as the people driving them, and so a huge part of Peacock’s recent adaptation was ensuring the vehicles looked good. This video goes behind-the-scenes, explaining how the different cars were designed and subsequently brought to life – using unexpected materials, like baking trays.
In the case of protagonist John Doe’s car, four different versions were made, including two stunt versions and a remotely controlled one, which allowed the car to be driven while the actors performed inside. Once they were built, all of the vehicles had to be authentically weathered, to make it look like they’d spent the past 20 years out in an apocalyptic wasteland.
They’re cool props, and obviously integral to the show. While there’s no word on a second season just yet, we reckon the team will have its work cut out building the vehicles for that, because it’s poised to introduce even more cars from the franchise’s lore.

I wrote this show off as soon as I heard about it, but was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was pretty fun.
Well they certainly know how to...twist metal.
[awkward pause]
I'll show myself out.
Highly recommended to anyone who hasn't watched. Hoping for a season 2.
I don't get the hype but I did enjoy the vehicle designs. Wish the show involved them more.
@StrawberryTurtle Because the Rock doesn't do anything besides playing the exact same character every single film.
Looking forward to this when it becomes available here in the UK somewhere.
@StrawberryTurtle Yeah that's pretty accurate, funny how John Cena and Dave Bautista are better actors than him.
I noticed the original Twisted Metal game is available on the PS Store. That’s all well and good but the sequel was far better in my opinion. Played that at many a sleepover as a young teen.
I still have nightmares about my friend destroying me with the guy whose body was attached to two giant wheels!
@StrawberryTurtle Cena and Johnson pretty much play the same character based on their natural charisma.
@StrawberryTurtle They both make movies I’m not interested in watching. Really populist comedy action movies. Not trying to sound pretentious but those movies are not for me I find them dull. I think they are both good at a very narrow range of acting at best. I don’t have an opinion on who is the better actor.
