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.

Aston Martin Bulldog

The DeLoreana DMC-12 became planetarily popular thanks to the movie “Back to the Future.” But another car was an alternative to the DeLorean and was to appear as a vehicle that Marty McFly and Emmett Brown would use in the film. It’s an Aston Martin Bulldog.

The Aston Martin Bulldog was created 43 years ago and fits perfectly into current concepts. The car has been completely restored and was presented at this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este exhibition where it won the Coppa d’Oro award. The most attention was drawn to the massive gullwing door, while its interior is adorned with brown leather and a new digital cluster.

The 1979 model is powered by a 5.3L twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 600 hp (441 kW) and 500 lb-ft (678 Nm) of torque. At one time it was one of the fastest production cars in the world. Reaches 62 mph in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 162 mph (261 km / h), although the fastest speed the car was recorded doing 191 mph (307 km / h) during a test run at the Motor Industry Research Association track in late 1979.

The Bulldog is owned by collector Phillip Sarofim and restored by the British company Classic Motor Cars.

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.
