A designer reimagined the DeLorean DMC-12, and the end result looks stunning.<\/p>\n
One of the most iconic and widely known cars featured in a movie is, by far, Back to the Future’s DeLorean DMC-12. The vehicle came to the forefront when Doc turned it into a trash-powered time machine. For people born in the era, the DeLorean is unforgettable.<\/p>\n
In real life, the DM had a fuel-injected Volvo-Peugeot-Renault V6 engine, and it wasn\u2019t incredibly fast. However, its unusual and futuristic styling made it an instant design<\/a> icon. That being said, the DeLorean was quickly criticized for a myriad of mechanical and quality issues. Nonetheless, everybody agreed that the DMC-12 looked quite stunning.<\/p>\n DeLorean produced sports cars in Northern Ireland and manufactured an estimated 9,400 units. The production run lasted for only two years (1981-1982) due to poor sales, though.<\/p>\n Besides, due to poor management, production costs exceeded the original estimated cost, putting more pressure on DeLorean. The unfavorable exchange rates between GBP and USD made matters even worse.<\/p>\n Despite the problems, the DMC-12 has a lasting legacy, and some companies still offer parts and restoration services. A new DeLorean Motor Company, unaffiliated with the original, might even restart production in 2021 in a new facility in Humble, Texas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by DeLorean2021 (@weareintime2020)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
