A battery powered Flux Capacitor? How will it generate the required 1.12 Gigawatts?
Finally, a Delorean that will be able to get out of its own way.
I heard these cars originally had very poor quality fit form and function right off the production line....hope they improve.
The ideal car would be one with virtually unlimited mileage, all wheel drive, superior handling, instant torque, and outstanding fuel economy.
We can achieve this now via hybrids, and can deliver a car/truck/SUV which is powerful, economical, and fun to drive.
EVs are a dead end.
I almost got in a wreck with a DeLorean, a little north of Atlanta, sometime in the ‘80s. He turned right in front of me, and I had to stomp the brakes to keep from hitting him.
Does the Cocaine come standard with it?
Dang thing is going to have to stay back in 1955.
Seems like a smart move. Basically a Tesla with evocative styling.
Yeah, everyone wants a car named after a drug dealer.
The DeLorean was designed to be junk and it accomplished that objective.
John Z. hired Formula 1 wizard and Lotus Cars founder Colin Chapman to smooth off his design’s rough edges and they immediately came to loggerheads over engine placement. Chapman tried to warn DeLorean off the rear-engine design because every rear-engined car ever made came with “a built-in spin cycle.” The original 911s, which Porsche tried (unsuccessfully) to tame by putting blocks of lead inside the front bumper, prove the point. As did the Chevrolet Corvair, which Ralph Nader sentenced to failure when he branded it “unsafe at any speed.”
So unless they straighten out the excessively rearward weight bias, it will continue to be crap.
And gull-wing doors might look cool but you’ll rarely find a car guy who has owned two of them.
So, could this version actually hit 88mph in a mall parking lot in real life?
“the company with official rights to the DeLorean name aims to launch an all-electric DeLorean DMC in 2021.”
They really will have to make it into a time machine to achieve that.
