It’s not just modified production cars that appear in the exhibition as concept cars have also taken many a starring role over the years. The concepts from Peugeot, Audi and Lexus that featured respectively in dystopian future films Blade Runner 2049, Ghost in the Shell, and I, Robot are also in the exhibition.

Alongside the many sci-fi movie cars, there will be hundreds of props, costumes and artwork on display too as well as a virtual reality experience. The VR experience allows guests to see the Warthog from “Halo” and the DeLorean from “Back to the Future” time machine in a new ‘immersive way’.
