About the DeLorean DMC-12 Time Machine Back to the Future Silver Sun Star 1:18

TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast DeLorean DMC-12 Time Machine in silver has opening doors, bonnet and boot, showing the film-specific hardware from Back to the Future. This 1981 sports car became a genuine cultural icon well beyond car collecting circles.

Few cars cross over into mainstream popular culture the way the DeLorean has, and its distinctive gull-wing doors make an opening model especially rewarding.

Sun Star's Diecast Build of the Time Machine

Zinc alloy construction gives the model genuine weight, appropriate for a car whose stainless steel body panels made the real DMC-12 notably heavier than contemporaries of similar size. Doors, bonnet and boot all open, and the doors in particular are worth highlighting given the DeLorean's signature upward-opening gull-wing mechanism, one of the most recognisable design details in automotive history. The unpainted silver finish reproduces the real car's brushed stainless steel bodywork, and the film-specific hardware added to the Time Machine version is rendered with the detail such a well-known prop deserves.

The DeLorean's Place Beyond Car Collecting

The DMC-12's real sales performance never matched its cultural footprint, and it's the film association that has kept demand for this car alive across generations of collectors who might never otherwise buy a scale model. That crossover appeal makes this piece work in both a pure automotive collection and a film memorabilia display, a rare dual identity few other subjects offer. At around 22cm, it takes a moderate footprint and its distinctive silhouette guarantees instant recognition on any shelf, film-themed or otherwise.
