Toyota goes ‘back to the future’ with Mirai, Tacoma
Toyota is celebrating back to the future
with a Tacoma pickup made to look just
like Marty’s and a Mirai fuel cell vehicle
done up like Doc Brown’s time machine
in place of the DeLorean.
Using Back to the Future Day to show off
its hydrogen fuel cell car, Toyota
reunited Back To The Future II’s Marty
McFly and Doc Brown to talk about the
real life innovation that the film
predicted 26 years ago.
The video was first teased to YouTube
users by showing Christopher Lloyd (who
played Doc Brown) and Michael J Fix
(Marty McFly) as they debate the
realities of what the real 2015 has
achieved compared with the one that
featured in Back to the Future (BTTF).
Most outrageous is the concept based on
the Mirai. The already futuristic fuel cell
vehicle has been decked out in
collaboration with MV Designz to look
like Doc Brown’s time machine. It comes
complete with two gullwing doors, an air
suspension, 19-inch wheels, blue LED
lighting, brushed aluminum paint, head-
up display among other features.
The Japanese automaker also recently
released a 2016 Tacoma truck tricked out
to look like the one Marty McFly lusted
after. That means a black paintjob, loads
of KC auxiliary lighting, knobby off-road
tires, tubular bumpers, mud flaps, and
special badging. Between the Tacoma
and the Mirai time machine concept,
there’ll be plenty for nostalgic fans to
check out at the tuner expo in Las Vegas
this week.
