The DeLorean is coming back as an EV sports car

It's been "coming back" for a while, and via a couple of different rights owners. The problem is that although it looked great, the DeLorean, by most accounts, was a pretty awful car - slow, heavy, bad steering, badly made interior, etc.

Mind you, it could be a worse "DeLorean" ...

Hmmm, that delorean lighting element may run afoul of the style vinfast uses for their cars, especially if vinfast registered it as a trademark.....

Agree, but I’m kinda a sucka for this car…growing up in the 80s, back to the future was a hit and everyone wanted a DeLorean .. I doubt I will be able to afford the price tag though

A new teaser video has been released along with a countdown image ...

His brother owned DeLorean Cadillac in Cleveland, Ohio - Growing up I saw all kinds of DMC-12s, even John's personal Red one w/ Tan leather and Bronze wheels.

Then I moved to Houston where the "New" DMC is located, you'll see DMC-12s on the street here and at every Cars and Coffee.

I've always wanted to track down one with an OCT 81 build date.

So the red means Delorean will be evil?

Well, there will certainly be those who view 'going EV' as venturing to the dark side.

And the original car was reportedly "bad" to drive and in quality.

It's because they've stupidly added two more seats in the back.

After seeing those images, I already have my own "reservations". It's just another in-name-only reboot, just like Hollywood makes.

Agreed.
