Robert Downey Jr.’s Show About Cars
Robert Downey Jr. is widely recognized for his role as Tony Stark, and he reportedly enjoys the same passion that his superhero counterpart did: restoring vintage cars. The new Max original series Downey’s Dream Cars put that on full display.
Downey’s Dream Cars follows a group of auto experts as they transform conventional gas-powered cars into electric vehicles. The initiative was sparked by RDJ’s Footprint Coalition, a four-year-old environmental group that works to slow down global warming.
“That was certainly the idea, was to try to innovate a little bit in this kind of storytelling,” he said.
While Downey’s Dream Cars is a show for car enthusiasts, it isn’t restricted to that audience. Downey’s Dream Cars is streaming on MAX.
