For 40 years, this is a question that all French fans have returned to the future!

“If my calculations are accurate when this small racing car reaches 88 miles in time, waiting for something to see!”

In the desert of the two pine shopping center in the desert parking lot, an eccentric dressed doctor and in itself is already very disappointed in March, how he works in his Delorean time. Whether we decided to go in 1955, in the future or even in the Old West, three elements are essential for the proper operation of the car: the working sequence of time convector, plutonium sufficient reserve (or lightning energy) … and speed of 88 miles.

88 miles per hour

This number of Robert Zemekis’s work, which we often heard by March during his three adventures, has never been transformed into the French version of the trilogy, perhaps the information he read on the Delorean Counter.

You may have already asked what the famous “88 miles” corresponds to when they were transformed into a kilometer, making the American value system move to our French system.

How much does March manage?

Is it really fast that it drives a car? If so, how fast does it move?

To answer this question, it is enough to make it easy to calculate. Knowing that 1 mile equivalent to 1.609 kilometers, 88 miles represent 141.6 kilometers.

When he goes to the De Hill field on Grand Avenue to return to his time at the end of the first return of the future, March is almost 142 kilometers per hour. Or 11 kilometers above the French highway authorized.

Fortunately, the street is entirely desert and everyone is in Féérie dancing des sirènes!
