Sometimes film enthusiasts go one step further than the makers of their favorite films and recreate the movie cars, but unlike the movie props, they work.
This is what happened with the most famous DeLorean from the "Back to the Future" films. After we had already reported on a one-to-one replica, we have now heard of another replica - and this one has it all.
Well, strictly speaking, it's not an actual DeLorean, because the chassis is made of polystyrene, which was modeled on a DeLorean shape, cut and then covered with fiberglass and the typical stainless steel look. But you can see that the vehicle is a fully functional hovercraft!
Matt Riese, the builder, spent four years tinkering with "his life's work" in his garage in California. According to him, the Craft can travel at a whopping 50 km/h, but theoretically it could go even faster. It is powered by two engines, one at the front (6 hp), the other (23 hp, 2 cylinders) at the rear.
In addition to the engines, it also has numerous accessories, for example the steering wheel can be positioned either in the middle or on the left-hand side. The seats are not permanently installed, so they can be easily moved or removed. The lighting ambience can also be changed using an app. The famous gullwing doors are not missing either.
Matt now wants to part with his "baby" and is offering it for sale on E-Bay. At the time of publication, it had not yet been sold. Perhaps it will "glide" to Europe? Who knows?
But one thing is certain: with a hovercraft of this shape, you'll attract everyone's attention on the beach.
