Description

Own a piece of rolling movie history. This 2011 Kia Optima LX was futuristically customized for the 2014 movie “Robocop”. This was the main characters car or simply stated this was Alex Murphy-Robocop’s car in the beginning of the movie. He is seen driving it as a detectives car and then the caris shownon the screen a number of times parked in front of his house.


Thisvehiclewas purchased directly from the picture car company that built some of the cars for the 2014 movie and their name can been seen on thetitle work. Also comes with a framed Movie Poster signed by actor Joel Kinnaman who played "Robocop-Alex Murphy"

The movie is set in 2028 Detroit, hen Alex Murphy - a loving husband, ather and good cop - is critically injured in the line of duty, he multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, art-robot police officer.


In some ways, his is the pivotable character of the movie since it was the vehicle that was rigged to explode by the bad guys (This one is not the one that exploded on film to be clear), esulting in all of Alex Murphy's injuries, hich allowed Robocop to be born.


This movie car has quite the provenance as it listed on IMCDB (Movie Car Database) and has been featured in Jalopnik, utoevolution.com, utoweek and Motortrend. It is unknown at this time how many Kia's were built to this level of movie magic but this one appears to have a lot of attention to detail on its interior pieces and futuristic exterior design. This vehicle was used for the interior shots and exterior shots where the actors were present or driving.


Published in Motortrend by Robocop Production Designer Martin Whist, “In the history of car design, eally en masse — there’s exceptions to it — it goes from a rectilinear sort of shape to a more streamlined, urve-linear shape. That’s just what I continued on. I filled wheel wells and I shaved off handles and changed rearview mirrors and changed the lines and tinting on the glass and made them all electric (conceptually speaking, s the drivetrains were not altered). Of course, hat changed the grille styles and essentially made everything a little more streamlined and aerodynamic-looking, hich is the most glaring change when you look at it. In the interior of all our vehicles, he dashes had to be changed and made extremely digital and away from analog as much as we could.”


Many one-off and customized touches done for the movie some of which are:

  • Custom Head Light Covers
  • Custom Dash
  • Custom Interior
  • Custom Seats
  • Custom Console
  • Custom Shotgun Holders
  • Custom Gas Fill Door
  • Custom Rear Wheel Covers
  • Shaved Door handles
  • Custom Mirrors
  • Hidden Switches
  • Custom Wheel Covers
  • Custom Steering Wheel
  • Custom Tail Panel
  • Customized Trunk


Excellent Show Car or Display Car to draw attention to your business or at events. This car does come with a clear title but due to its alterations we are selling it as a movie prop and buyer will sign a bill of sale stating "off-road use only". From that point it is up to the buyer if they want to safety and inspect it for road use per state guidelines. It does run and drive well, ust like a low mileage Kia should, nd has all the original gauges behind the custom movie dash panel. Again, lthough this is a titled vehicle we are selling it as a movie prop which is referenced in its pricing. In my opinion, here is not that much to change to make it completely street legal.


  • Also comes with a framed Movie Poster signed by actorJoel Kinnamanwho played "Robocop-Alex Murphy"


With movie car prices skyrocketing through the roof, wning a principle characters car that has been customized specifically for a movie, ake this a great investment and conversation piece. It is very rare that we are able to procure a car of this provenance as movie studios now are rarely letting them be sold to the public. This is the only vehicle we were able to acquire from this movie franchise, o don't let this unique piece of automotive history pass you by.
