• Screen-used section of the Peugeot 407 taxi featured in Taxi 5 (2018)
• Used in the final "boat jump" sequence, fitted with deployable wing panels
• Built by the film's special-effects team as a purpose-made stunt and visual-effects vehicle
• Retains original production fittings, paint, and film rigging points
• Acquired by Movie Cars Central from La Cité du Cinéma, France, following production

This Peugeot 407 represents one of the most recognisable effects vehicles from the French action-comedy Taxi 5 (2018). Constructed as a special-effects "part car", it formed the upper body of the hero taxi used in the spectacular final chase, culminating in the jump that lands the vehicle on a boat.
Outfitted with functional wing mechanisms for filming, the car was engineered by the production's stunt and SFX departments for close-up and composite shots. It retains its original white paint, production hardware, and distinctive aerodynamic appendages, preserving the integrity of the on-screen design.
Following filming, the car was displayed at La Cité du Cinéma in Saint-Denis before being acquired by Movie Cars Central, where it remains preserved as a tangible piece of one of France's most popular car-chase franchises.
Offered with a bill of sale, this is a genuine movie prop and is not intended for road use.
