We've seen some truly amazing vehicles at the L.A. car museum in the past but this new show is literally out of this world. Here are just some of the more than 40 cars and motorcycles from classic movies and video games that will be on display.

The new exhibit also includes concept artwork, props, and costumes fromBlade Runner,Ghost in the Shell,I, Robot, andTransformers. In addition to not just one but two Batmobiles, highlights includeSpeed Racer's Mach 5,Demolition Man's GM Ultralight,Green Hornet's Black Beauty, and a personal favorite—Death Race 2000's Shala Vette.
There's also a mixed reality experience featuring the DeLorean Time Machine fromBack to the Futureusing Microsoft HoloLens on view. The film's co-creator and producer Bob Gale guides fans into a tour of Marty McFly's world and gives them a closer look at the movie's star car. Plus, another display highlights an interactive closer look at the systems and weaponry ofHalo's Warthog.
It looks like a fantastic show that's definitely not to be missed for car and movie buffs. Plan your visit to SoCal to see them all in person at the Petersen through March 15, 2020, and check out the really big photo gallery below in the meantime.
