The DeLorean
BACK TO THE FUTURE
Pilot: Doc Brown, Marty McFly
First Appearance: 1985
“When this baby hits 88 miles an hour, we’re going to see some serious shit.” Doc Brown wasn’t wrong, as no car in film history has made such an impression on audiences as this temporal displacement vehicle. A super-customised DeLorean DMC-12 fitted with a portable plutonium-powered nuclear reactor and the mysterious Flux Capacitor (a necessary aid for time travelling), the DeLorean is later taken to new heights with a hover conversion. The operation of the DeLorean is consistent throughout all three Back To The Future movies – after entering a target date, the operator accelerates the car to 88 miles per hour and providing the Flux Capacitor has the necessary 1.21 gigawatts of electricity (which in the absence of plutonium is provided by a bolt of lighting), the car rips through time. The DeLorean is used for both good and bad ends with Doc and Marty trying to correct mistakes made and Biff using it for his own nefarious means, though why Marty would leave this bad boy unattended is beyond us. “Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Think McFly.”
