The StarCar was a futuristic car in 2015.

History[]

In 2015, a StarCar was parked on Second Street when the flying Jeep landed; and Spike, Data and Whitey chased Marty McFly on hoverboards around Courthouse Square.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The StarCar was a fictional car which appeared in the 1984 science-fiction movie The Last Starfighter, and was built by Gene Winfield. The 1963 show car the Strip Star and the Spinner from the 1982 neo-noir science-fiction movie Blade Runner were also built by Winfield; both vehicles appeared in Back to the Future Part II as futuristic cars.
  • The design of the StarCar was inspired by the DeLorean DMC-12, including its gullwing doors. However, the DeLorean DMC-12 would not become familiar to science-fiction movie fans as Dr. Emmett Brown's DeLorean time machine until the following year.
  • The current whereabouts of the StarCar is unknown, but it is rumored to now be in France and been repainted red.[1]

Actuality[]

  • The StarCar was built specially for The Last Starfighter, and therefore has never entered mass production.
