The Toyota Mirai vehicle has been given a Back to the Future shine, to celebrate October 21, 2015 -- the day that was marked out as 'the future' in the second edition of the Back to the Future trilogy.
This particular Mirai is specially equipped with gullwing doors much like the ones seen in the DeLorean vehicle that played such a crucial role in the movie trilogy. These doors were first seen at a Mirai early buyer party over in California. It also has a heads-up display that is uber-futuristic.
Indeed, Toyota even went so far as to plan the US sales of the Toyota Mirai around Back to the Future day, reminding viewers of the futuristic appeal of this fuel cell vehicle.
