The DMC DeLorean has been out of production for almost 40 years, but it looks like the iconic vehicle will be making a comeback as an electric car.
DMC DeLorean
The DMC DeLorean was the only vehicle produced by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company (DMC). It became famous for appearing in the "Back to the Future" film series, but it is also a well-known vehicle in the industry for other reasons.
First of all, it successfully reached production, which is rare for a company in its infancy, especially in the automotive market dominated by companies that have been in the market for centuries.
In the end, the company went bankrupt after facing many challenges in a turbulent history that included political battles and even an FBI. It did, however, manage to produce several thousand vehicles.
The DMC DeLorean is a very innovative vehicle. In 1995, Stephen Wynne bought the old stock and the company brand to reopen the company.
Electric DeLorean?
Initially, the plan was to bring back the same vehicle with more modern technology. Over the past 5 years, the company has been pushing for new regulations for the production of low-volume vehicles. These new regulations were eventually passed, but the delay was so long that DeLorean's plans were complicated. The engine they plan to use will not comply with emissions standards that will be in effect from 2022.
In a statement, the company suggests it will completely change strategy and launch electric vehicles. The company hints that it is in the process of seeking financing to launch an electric DeLorean.
