The company that owns the rights to DeLorean is resurrecting the storied name for an electric sports car, launching in 2022.
Texas-based DeLorean Motor Company – formed by British engineer Stephen Wynne, who acquired the rights to the original company’s name and branding in 1995 – has previewed its modern-day take on the mid-engined DeLorean DMC in a cryptic Tweet confirming limited details.
It will be called the DeLorean EVolved in a nod to its electric drivetrain, and accompanying hashtags suggest that it will place a heightened focus on luxury than did the 1981-1982 original.
This isn't the first time the revived marque has hinted at plans to bring back the DMC. Last year, 40 years to the day since the launch of the car, design house Italdesign showed a similar teaser image, suggesting that it's collaborating on the project.
Italdesign was founded by revered designed Giorgetto Giugiaro, who was responsible for shaping the original DMC's characteristically angular stainless-steel body.
Well, bearing in mind that we were supposed to have flying, fusion-powered DeLoreans by the year 2015, I think this is a little underwhelming .
Still, I guess it's progress - and, I do hope these cars are more reliable than the 1980s originals!
