Roadless Remote-Controlled Cars

Quadrotor Technology Makes This Replica Delorean DMC-12 Fly

YouTuber Native118 has custom built a real-life DeLorean DMC-12 that would make Dr. Emmett Brown proud.

This Back to the Future-inspired, remote-controlled car is a direct replica of the one used in the movies -- except that it can't travel in time.

The flying car features four quadrotors to make the car airborne and has even duplicated the horizontally-turned wheels from the movie. It is constructed from an abundance of foamcore rather than the stainless steel, which comprised the original car, and features glowing, LED taillights, headlights and wheels.

The Russian inventor is a flying car fanatic and has featured many similar projects on his YouTube channel, including the Dragon Assault Ship C-21 from the movie Avatar.

The DeLorean DMC-12 may not come equipped with the Mr Fusion or Flux Capacitor from the films -- but it will still leave every die-hard Back to the Future fan dying to own one.
