2022 DeLorean EVolved as EV

In 1975, a car was born that would become an icon of the film industry ten years later. It is a DeLorean that, according to the announcements of the DeLorean Motor Company, should get a successor called EVolved.

It is a modern version of the legendary DeLorean, which was announced last year. The car became famous thanks to the Back to the Future film trilogy. The design will be done by Italdesign, founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who also designed the original DeLorean.

For now, there is no information on the car’s specifications. There is a lot of speculation. Some rumors say it will retain a recognizable shape, while others say it could be a limited edition. None of this has been confirmed. The only thing that can be said for sure is that it will not be cheap.

The first DeLorean Motor Company was founded in 1975, and in 1982 it ended in receivership and bankruptcy. The current DeLorean Motor Company was founded by British Stephen Wynne. The company deals with repairs and reconstructions of original cars. They tried several times to bring the legendary car back to life, but without success.
