People ask me, 'what's the timeline for the project?' And I say, 'if we hit 88 miles an hour, it doesn't matter'," he said. This has been my pride and joy for the last 4 years and sadly it’s time to fulfil someone else’s dream.

Excitement is rising like the doors of our iconic sports car," CMO of the DeLorean Motor Company, Troy Beetz, said. "We are revealing the next generation prototype 3 days earlier than planned on the most prestigious stage at Pebble Beach." The “robot in disguise” stands 5.5-inches tall in Robot mode. In 17 steps he converts down into a DeLorean time machine, complete with Doc Brown’s goggles, time circuits, and, of course, a flux capacitor. Gigawatt also comes with a blaster and whip antennae accessories. The toy’s car mode also features the DeLorean’s iconic gullwing doors open that fly open. The car’s wheels also rotate from vertical to horizontal “to produce a hovering effect as seen at the end of the film.” CHOKING HAZARD: This product may contain small parts. It is not a toy and only suitable for the persons over 15 years old. This is the internet, sir, this is no place for your even-handed pragmatism. Where is your outrage, sir??! Electric conversion has gathered enormous momentum for classic car owners who want to preserve their pride and joy in a sustainable way.Mr Hemmingsen said not only was buying an EV going to be cheaper in the future, but there would also be a growing second-hand market and the ability to replace the batteries as technology evolves. The Autobot comes armed with a launcher + whip antenna, detachable Mr. Fusion, and transforms from robot to car mode in 17 steps. Apparently, Gigawatt’s eyes are designed to look like Doc Brown’s goggles too. It can transform from robot mode to time machine mode in roughly 17 steps. While in robot form, Gigawatt features plenty of movie-inspired details like Doc Brown’s iconic goggles, a flux capacitor lodged in the chest piece, and even some important time travel dates from the film just below that.

Also, you know they’re going to do a Part III DeLorean with whitewall tyres and valves strapped to the bonnet? Can you really turn that down? The big problem is that we're reliant on other local industries to do fabrication for things like battery boxes and motor mounts, and if those companies are busy as well then we're going to be delayed a little bit by that.”
