If a modern retake on the classic Back to the Future movies was shot right now, the perfect vehicle to use would be this BMW i8-based hydrogen prototype.
They wouldn’t even need to dub sound over it since it already sounds like something from a sci-fi movie.

BMW has thus far not offered any technical details as to what’s propelling this car along, but it was shown alongside a 5-Series GT-based prototype featuring hydrogen fuel cell tech feeding a 245 PS electric motor and had a claimed autonomy of over 500 km / 300 miles.
