Black Eyed Peas singer and music producer Will.I.Am came on the The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to announce that he was basically going into the carmaking business with a project called IAMAUTO. Long story short, the “Back to the Future” car is inspired by the DeLorean and will be built at a site in the Los Angeles neighborhood where he was raised.
“I'm a big technology freak and geek and I invested my money in building my own vehicle because i want to bring jobs to the ghetto that I come from, so why not invest? Like I invested in making a demo to start the Black Eyed Peas, we did that, now I want to invest to have a car company in the neighborhood that I come from,” Will says.
We see the car as being a DeLorean with a body kit, but Will says it’s put together using a whole bunch of parts from Chrysler that were chosen in order to ensure the car is road-legal. If we remember correctly, Will.I.Am has a DeLorean DMC-12 custom build for him by West Coast Customs a while back.
