Last week we showed you a teaser video Toyota put out showing Back to the Future stars Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd reunited for a special reveal.

The teaser came ahead of Wednesday, which marked the future date which Fox traveled to in Back to the Future II. From the start, it was obvious that the date would be used to mark the launch of the hydrogen fuel-cell powered Mirai, but Toyota went a little bit further than the video below:

It also unveiled Back to the Future-inspired vehicles. The first re-imagined Doc Brown’s time machine as a customized Mirai, complete with gullwing doors and a heads-up display of the time-traveling destination. The second was a re-creation of Marty McFly’s dream truck using the 2016 Toyota Tacoma.
