Discovery+ announced the Robert Downey Jr. series under the working title Downey's Dream Cars on Wednesday. It will be the second collaboration between Downey and the streaming service.
Downey's Dream Cars will show Downey restore six of the classic cars he owns to make them eco-friendly. While Downey and a team of experts work on his cars, Downey will also speak to experts about the future of transportation.
"My goal is to showcase that it's possible to keep the integrity of classic cars while leveraging new tech and innovation to make them more eco-friendly," Downey said in a statement.
Prior to Downey's Dream Cars, Downey produced The Bond for discovery+. The Bond is a four part nature series about people who have formed unique bonds with animals.
Downey and his wife, producer Susan Downey, produce both shows through their company, Team Downey, which they founded together.
Downey's Dream Cars is expected to premiere this year on discovery+.
Way cooler. You can put a 3.4 v6 in an Opel without destroying the car, but any of the V8 conversions.....well lets just say thats why you dont see these cars around anymore. Putting in a V8 means chopping the car up, tube framing the front and making the front clip out of fiberglass. With all steel monocoque construction, mine is 53 years old and doesn’t have a squeak or rattle anywhere (except the poly suspension bushings)
I had a Dodge charger model that I fubared the paint on, but I kept the hemi engine. The Opel GT model had a V6 or 4cyl stock option, But I thought it would be fun to put the Hemi just for a neat model car display.
