Marty: Wait a minute... wait a minute Doc, are you telling me that you built a TIME MACHINE... out of a DeLorean?!
Doc: The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

I'm burnin' aviation fuel and my foot's to the floor
Ya know she's crusin' one-forty, she'll do even more

If you're comin' come quick

Gian: ... Ivan, is this yours...?
Ivan: That’s right! Haha, ain’t she awesome? Ain’t she cool? Ain’t she the best?! You’ve gotta go German if you want the best car!
Gian: ...But man, this is a big sedan. It’s practically a tank compared to that Alpha...
Ivan: She’s the newest Mercedes model! A brand spanking new virgin! Just wait ‘til you ride her through the night city! She jolts everyone on the streets off their feet and makes ‘em piss their pants. [both get inside] Ain’t the inside awesome, too? Ain’t it cool? Take any virgin and she’d flood her pants with a ‘Whoohoo! Here it comes!’ the moment she sinks into the seat.
Gian: Is that so.
Ivan: Oh, and if you smoke in here, you’re dead.

Nomi: You have to cut the fuel line.
Will: What? Why?
Nomi: There's a reason we chose this car. There's a flaw in the engine; if you cut the line, smoke will build up and eventually the engine will explode.
Will: But—
Nomi: You need a distraction. No man can ignore a car this nice in distress. It's some primal instinct thing. Look at you—you're hesitating.
Will: ...it's a really nice car.

Guard 1: Now that's a real shame.

"There was a girl beside him. Her hair was a lovely shade of dark red and she had a distant smile on her lips and over her shoulders she had a blue mink that almost made the Rolls-Royce look like just another automobile. It didn't quite. Nothing can."
