42210 - The DeLorean alternative build

[Dyen]

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to show you my latest alternate build from LEGO set 42210 – the Nissan Skyline GT-R turned into one of the most iconic vehicles of all time: the DeLorean from Back to the Future! 

I wanted to capture the most legendary features of this time-traveling machine, especially the flying mode – so all four wheels rotate 90 degrees in sync, just like in the movie.

Features:

• All wheels rotate 90° for “flying mode”
• Iconic gull-wing doors (open upwards over the roof)
• Detailed interior and recognizable DeLorean silhouette
• Dimensions: 40 cm (L) × 18 cm (W) × 12 cm (H)
• Built using approx. 95% of the original parts from set 42210 for maximum detail
• Despite the original model having many stickers, I designed the build so those parts are hidden – no need to remove any decals!
• Easy to add extra parts (like cable detailing or other movie-accurate touches)

INSTRUCTIONS SOON

Looks really good:).

Well done, it was just a matter of time when DeLoreans started popping out

Great job on this one. Avoided usage of the printed mudguards makes it much better.
