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.

All electric cars have their own unique whine, but this one is eerily like the kind of noise cars make in the movies… It’s our first chance to hear it on the move, having had to concede with just the one batch of photos.

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.
