What car was used in taxi?

PEUGEOT 406 This is the real Taxi 2 car, used for the stunts so it was driven and signed by Jean Ragnotti. Small anecdote of Taxi 1: the famous taxi of the film existed in six copies, of which finally, a Peugeot 406 (super-tourism of the Super Tourenwagen Cup) and five modified Peugeot 406.



In the famous French action-comedy film series Taxi, written by Luc Besson, the primary car used is a modified Peugeot 406. Specifically, in the first three films, the white taxi driven by Daniel Morales (Samy Naceri) is a 406 that famously "transforms" with wings, spoilers, and racing tires at the touch of a button. For the fourth and fifth installments, the car was updated to a Peugeot 407. Beyond the movies, if you are referring to the most common real-world taxi, the Toyota Camry and Toyota Prius currently dominate the global market due to their legendary reliability and fuel efficiency. In London, the iconic "Black Cab" is the LEVC TX, a purpose-built electric hybrid designed to handle the city's unique "Knowledge" requirements and tight turning circles.
