After his mind-bending performance as Iron Man in the last Avengers film, Robert Downey Jr. is all set to return in Downey’s Dream Cars, a project in collaboration with Discovery+ that will see the Hollywood star "reimagine" his collection of classic cars with a modern twist that could hopefully see them be viable to the environment. Downey's ultimate idea is to give away all of his classic cars and then give the proceeds to green tech companies that could maintain the sustenance of cars in the future.
But before this, the ex-Avenger plans to reimagine these classic cars, perhaps by engineering them to cause less environmental damage or converting them to electric vehicles. Explaining his vision in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Robert Downey Jr. said:
"I’m going to sweepstakes them and donate all the proceeds to green tech companies...this will be my legacy."
Robert Downey Jr. also plans to use this platform to highlight his pro-environment fervor through his process of restoring classic cars.
While it has never been explicitly revealed how many cars Robert Downey Jr. owns in total, as many as nine high-profile cars have been spotted by fans. This includes some wild rides like a modified 1970 Mustang fastback, a Nissan GT-R, and a Bentley Continental GT, among many others.
