Downey’s Dream Cars
NEW Available: Thursday 22 June
Genre: Factual Season: 1
Episodes: 6 (two episodes released weekly)
Like many millionaire movie stars, Hollywood A-lister Robert Downey Jr. has spent some of his vast wealth building up a covetable collection of fabulous classic cars.
But as much as he loves his gas-guzzling motors, the Iron Man actor is also a dedicated environmentalist who’s committed to fighting climate change.
Now, in Discovery+’s new series Downey’s Dream Cars, the Sherlock Holmes and Chaplin star is on a mission to modify some of his motors and make them more environmentally friendly by hiring a team of experts to turn his prized possessions into vehicles that are less harmful to the planet.
‘We are what we drive, and having amassed a formidable collection of classic cars over the years, I was a petrol-spewing mess and a hypocrite,’ he admits.
