10 Ways Back To The Future Would Look Completely Different In 2015

10. The Futuristic Car

In 1985 Marty and Doc flipped between the past, present and future in a shiny DeLorean DMC-12.

Resembling something from the future with its bold Italian design, gull-wing doors that looked like antennae and a stainless steel body that could survive a meteor storm, it wasn't something you regularly saw in the work car park or at the supermarket. 

It had a believable alien quality and seeing as DeLorean had gone bust a couple of years previous, presumably the production crew could pick a few up relatively cheaply. The film only had a budget of $19m, which was $16m smaller than Star Trek: The Motion Picture six years before and Tim Burton's Batman released four years later.

Following the same logic with today's cars Back To The Future producers would choose an all-electric vehicle like the Nissan Leaf or a hybrid model like the Toyota Prius.

After a few hours plugged in at Walmart he'd be home quicker than you can say "lightning charger".

Alternatively, with all the style of a bloated egg on wheels Marty could find himself time-travelling with his feet up on the dashboard of Google's new self-drive car or whatever the team at Tesla are working on these days.
