thejynxed 30 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Just to note, this is an Easter Egg containing several more Easter Eggs - The cars are the camper used in the Epic Office Quest, Fred Flintstone's car, the DeLorean from Back to the Future, what appears to be the first Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 car after they formally returned to F1 racing (gone since 1957) as other than an engine supplier - they partnered with McLaren on the car after Honda, who they had supplied engines to, withdrew from F1, Rob Zombie's Dragula, what appears to be a 1901 Lohner-Porsche, the very first model of car that Prof. Ferdinand Porsche designed and built when he was just 25 years of age - it contained electric front brakes & no transmission, being driven by an electric hub designed by Porsche and still used to this day in various applications such as NASA rovers (A hybrid electric/diesel model of this, named the Mixte, was offered as well as the standard all-electric), a 1970's era hardtop Volkswagen dunebuggy that was and still is a very popular recreational vehicle, and Zed's Chopper from Pulp Fiction. 1 Link to comment
