Video of the Jensen 88 Special For Burnout Paradise

December 23, 2008 in Video comments 10

Back In November we learned that Criterion was giving delivering us the Jansen 88 Special(aka back to the future hover car). Now there's video of the car in action, take a look at it. Boy, does this bring back fond childish memories. ^_^

    FLAMING TIRE TRAILS!! ZOMG! SOLD!

    *head explosion, followed by fainting*

    Man, now if only we had a voice over from Christopher Lloyd:

    "No, no, no, no, no. This sucker's electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need. "

    I'm afraid to see what would happen if I got that car up to 88mph while racing Damn, now I wish I had a 360 or PS3 so I could play this game and get that car. Back to the Future Part II was my favorite of the three movies.

      LOL! If they have something planned for 88MPH I will lose it.

      Speaking of BTTF2: Maybe we should petition Criterion for the Hoverboards we were promised as kids but they never came... I'm 30 and still waiting for one! LOL!

        You should be able to get them in 2015. Didn't you pay attention?

    Okay, that video was great. And funny too.

    The 88 looks cool, I'm definitely getting it on day 1. The fire trails look cool.

    Can someone get rid of the Giving part? I accidentally put that in.

    Anyway this is awesome.

    Cool, so it looks like it is actually fast, despite some people thinking it is just novelty and wouldn't be a practical race car.

    If I get the car(s) and new island, I guess I'll restart to get the trophies (still feeling the sting of the "No Retroactive Trophies" announcement)....

    LOL, so the full name is the Jensen 88 Special?

    I see another Back to the Future reference in the title *points to number*

    But what is the significance of "Jensen" though?

    I though the Back to the Futrue car was a DeLorean DMC-12?

    Anyway, I wonder if they had to get permission from Universal Pictures to use this.

      Well, I dunno about the specific model, but yeah, it was a DeLorean.

      But even a blind man can see (lol oxymoron) it is OBVIOUSLY based off the Back to the Future vehicle.

      I wonder that too...It seems too similar for them to NOT have to get permission somehow...
