Here's How Awesome A DeTomaso Pantera Would Look In Back To The Future

Imagination - it's the thing that's gets extruded from children with every Best Of Honey Boo Boo marathon. It's also the thing that allows a person to come up with absolutely mind-blowing artwork, like this impossibly detailed image of a menacing Back To The Future time machine, restyled as a DeTomaso Pantera.

Let's take a closer look at the car.

At the back, we have the telltale vents arranged as sleek gills, with the words "What the Flux" on one side, with a distinct lack of Mr. Fusion. The license plate has the BTTF logo, which could mean that Marty has stepped into an alternate universe where he is now self-aware, or at the very least, breaking the fourth wall.

At the side, we have airless tires that certainly would be a futuristic staple, with the front wheels having a different, strengthened design. Could this mean an all-wheel drive system? Also notice the massive side-exit exhaust coming from back to front. I imagine that there isn't much real estate in the back, what with all the time travelin' malarky goin' on - and there will be a lot of it - since the Ford V8 in this Pantera isn't a anemic pushover like the PRV V6 in the original Delorean and you wouldn't need a half-mile head start to get to 88 miles per hour.
