Various proposals have been brought forth in the past by fans of the movie franchise for why the car has to be moving at 88 mph to achieve temporal displacement, [ 2 ] but actually the production crew chose the velocity simply because ...
[1] [7] The SOAC was built to dimensions nearly identical to the R44: 74 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (22.77 m) long and 9 ft 9 in (2.97 m) wide. Floor height could be adjusted to match platform heights of each system, with the cars 11 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (3.57 m) to 12 ft 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (3.70 m) high, depending on the configuration. [1]
