The new DeLorean Alpha5 will be EV

The car company DMC decided to return the legendary car, but this time as EV. It is a modern Alpha5 model that still retains some features of the well-known design of its predecessor, the DMC-12, such as the door.

The car is painted in a combination of two colors, and the roof line is a reminder of the well-known model from the trilogy “Back to the Future”. It is equipped with thinner front and rear lights, a charging port located on the front left bumper, so there is no need to open the lid. There are also massive wheels.

Inside, the driver has at his disposal a touch screen, located on the center console, with all control buttons. There is also a complete digital cluster as well as a steering wheel with a flat bottom.

When it comes to powertrain, there is not much information. It is known to reach 62 mph in less than 4 seconds with a top speed of 150 mph (241 km / h). The engine is powered by a battery of over 100 kWh, which gives the car a range of more than 300 miles (483 km). All this comes as standard equipment.

The company announced that in the future we could expect a sports coupe with a V8 engine, an electric sedan and a hydrogen-powered SUV. Production of the Alpha5 will begin in 2024 and only 88 units will be produced.

The Yamaha R3 crashes into the back of a police car

Traffic police officer is a person who direct traffic or serve in a traffic or roads policing unit enforcing rules of the road. However, a video recently appeared in which a police car endangered the safety of a Yamaha R3 driver with extremely dangerous movements.

A video has been posted on the YouTube channel Hyped Life showing a Yamaha R3 driver with a GoPro camera recording the incident that took place. Although the speed at which the motorcyclist was moving before is not visible, before the disputed situation his speed was 81 mph (130 km / h). So we can’t say if he was careless.

The video shows a Dodge Charger police vehicle braking at one point and endangering the drivers behind it, in this case a motorcyclist. The Yamaha driver could not stop and chrash into the back of the police vehicle, luckily without injury.

Given that there was no vehicle in front of the police vehicle, we can assume that the police officer intentionally pressed the brake, and with his maneuver made it difficult for motorcyclists to avoid a collision. The recording shows the police officer accusing the motorcyclist of riding “on his tail”, and that he was surprised that the motorcyclist could not avoid the collision.

According to a police report, the motorcyclist was driving recklessly. The motorcyclist was arrested but not charged with a car accident. The destination of the police officer is not known.
