Then it’s a no for me. Who would buy a starship without a transporter beam or a warp drive?
An EV?? LOL
Or will it be banned from roads with white stripes?
With a successful book and heavy publicity before his car came to market, John DeLorean himself had evolved into being more a celebrity than a credible businessman and engineer. In an era of economic and industrial stagnation, more than a few politicians and investors fell for his con.
Keep in mind that entrapment is a messy defense because it essentially admits to the crime -- for DeLorean it was cocaine trafficking -- but argues that the government created the opportunity and drew a vulnerable person into the trap. The defense succeeded but no one with money to invest would touch DeLorean after that because he was so obviously foolish, incompetent, and corruptible.
Does it come in a 1.21 gigawatt model?
Battery power has severe limitations.
I had no idea that was a 34,000 car! A Mustang that year was about 7500
Back at that time, Delorean’s brother had a Pontiac dealership in Cleveland. He had 2-3 dozen of the cars on the lot, some painted. What a sight to see!
I liked the original as a "style statement." Then I sat in one at a car show. After about ten seconds, claustrophobia began. I wanted OUT, RIGHT NOW! I'm not prone to claustrophobia, but there was something about that car's interior that got to me.
Electric .................. NO!
The IP was bought, now in the hands of Karma Automotive. You can still buy them...with a better (BMW) gas engine for generating electricity.
Karma Revero & GS-6

Yup. The DeLorean had a small cabin with poor visibility.
I am not sure why the composite approach never worked as I am not an engineer. I would guess it was never durable enough. The idea of having a rust-free care was appealing to anyone from the MidWest. Many of the cars from the late 60’s and 70’s were really rust buckets. I remember reading that many used too much recycled steel.
Not many people can afford an insulated garage, much less pay to keep it heated.
