Avengers star Robert Downey Jr. is turning his passion for classic cars into a new Discovery+ series.
In a move that echoes Tony Stark's love for new technology, Downey's Dream Cars (working title) will follow the Iron Man star and a team of experts as they restore classic cars to make them more eco-friendly, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The unscripted series aims to update classic cars for the environmentally conscious while maintaining the beauty and aesthetic of the car.

"My goal is to showcase that it's possible to keep the integrity of classic cars while leveraging new tech and innovation to make them more eco-friendly. I'm thrilled audiences will get to see this series on Discovery+ later this year," Downey Jr. said in a statement.
Team Downey and Boat Rocker's Matador Content will produce the series which is set to launch on Discovery+ at the end of 2022.
