The minds behind the Petersen Automotive Museum have a knack for making first impressions, and it all starts with the lobby. Stepping into the museum is always an experience because you never know what\u2019s waiting to greet you. What you can be sure of is that whatever it is – a 550 Spyder, CSL 3.0 Art Car, Toyota Sports 800 – will set the tone for the rest of your visit.<\/p>\n
The lobby\u2019s current resident continues the museum\u2019s streak of jaw-dropping intros. It\u2019s an orange Audi R8 V10, the same R8 Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s Tony Stark drove in \u201cAvengers: Age of Ultron\u201d and \u201cCaptain America: Civil War.\u201d With one slight modification, however. The entire back end has been \u201cdeconstructed\u201d to offer an exploded view of the car\u2019s internals, which hang from wires in midair. It looks like an AutoCAD rendering come to life, or a snapshot of what happens when a $140,000 mid-engine supercar runs over a landmine.<\/p>\n Stark\u2019s Audi is just one of 40 plus cars currently on display as part of the museum\u2019s latest exhibit, \u201cHollywood Dream Machines: Vehicles of Science Fiction and Fantasy.\u201d Produced in collaboration with the Comic-Con Museum along with support from Audi and Microsoft, the exhibit features some serious automotive star power. From Doc\u2019s DeLorean, Knight Rider\u2019s K.I.T.T., The Batmobile (two of them, actually) to the infamous Durango 95 made famous in \u201cA Clockwork Orange,\u201d the list of Hollywood metal the museum has pulled together under its roof is impressive. Costumes, props and original blueprints from classic and modern-day film series and video games are also on display.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2019Hollywood Dream Machines\u2019 will be the biggest exhibit of our 25th anniversary,\u201d said Petersen Automotive Museum Executive Director Terry L. Karges. \u201cWith more than 40 vehicles from the silver screen spread across the museum, the exhibit is an ode to the industry that Los Angeles was built upon.\u201d<\/p>\n The exhibit will also feature a Microsoft HoloLens experience (Microsoft\u2019s version of VR) called \u201cWorlds Reimagined.\u201d The mixed reality experience provides guests the opportunity to take an immersive and unique look at both the Warthog from \u201cHalo\u201d and the \u201cBack to the Future\u201d time machine, with the latter being narrated by the series\u2019 co-creator, Bob Gale.<\/p>\n Currently open to the public and running through March 15 of next year, the exhibit is a must-see for gearheads and movie buffs alike.<\/p>\n The minds behind the Petersen Automotive Museum have a knack for making first impressions, and it all starts with the lobby.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":62166,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3470],"tags":[313,5794,2531,41,324],"class_list":["post-62164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-cars-in-film","tag-justin-clark","tag-movies","tag-news","tag-petersen-automotive-museum"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TED_2659-min.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p42YSK-gaE","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62172,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62164\/revisions\/62172"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Hollywood's](\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Audi-R8-V10-min-1024x643.jpg\")
