The new company isn't associated with the first company, but does use the name. The DeLorean Motor Company went bust in 1982, but was revived by a Texas entrepreneur in 1995. Only 9,000 of them were made before DMC halted production, and Wikipedia reckons only about 6,500 are still around today. The original DeLorean featured car park-unfriendly gull-wing doors, and stainless steel panels that mean the original cars never rusted up. That post has since been erased from history, but it's not an elaborate hoax - Jalopnik's Kevin McCauley got to drive one.ĭeLorean hopes to get it into production for 2013, which would give DMC two years to develop the junk-powered flying version that we know for a fact will be coming in 2015. That's because plans are afoot to build an electric version of the DeLorean DMC-12 - the iconic car that starred in the Back to the Future movies.Ĭhoosing to power the new DMC-12 on humble electrical power rather than rubbish, the DeLorean Motor Company has stated on its blog that the car is being built in partnership with electric car startup Epic EV.
Petrol? Where we're going, we don't need petrol.
