But instead of transporting Marty McFly back in time, this high-speed hovercraft can race over land and water.

The custom vehicle was built by Matt Riese as a replica to the flying DeLorean DMC-12 made famous in Back To The Future II.

The futuristic motor even boasts authentic switches from the 1989 classic, including anti-gravity and flux capacitor.

While it can't reach 88mph, the speed needed to send Marty back in time, the 36-inch thrust fan allows it to hit a top speed of 31mph on the open water.

Matt said: "Doc Brown's design philosophy must have really sunk in after watching Back to the Future ten thousand times.

"The body is made out of styrofoam insulation that I glued together and carved into the shape of a Delorean, fiberglassed and painted with metallic paint.

"It took about 4.5 years to get it operational for it's debut in August 2012, and I've been continuously working on and improving it since then.

"It’s ridiculously fun just to drive and to play with, and it’s fun to see the joy in all the people around you when their minds are blown and they beg you for rides.

"This craft has given me the time of my life, so many amazing memories, new friendships, and opportunities."

It even recently featured on American comedian Jay Leno's show - Jay Leno's Garage - with the presenter going for a spin in the unconventional motor.

The car was previously listed at £45,000, but fell through at the last minute.
