The current owner of the DMC name have been teasing a new DeLorean EV recently, apparently intended to be sporty. Looks like it will now be revealed at the end of the month. The teaser images so far have just been silhouettes of the front and rear and the appearance of open gull wing doors. The latest show a full width rear light bar and louvred rear window. We'll also have to wait for the reveal for any specs, but safe to say it won't have a 1.21 gigawatt motor powered by Mr. Fusion. Or a crap Renault engine. Whatever it is, apparently we can expect a pretty low volume rather than mass production. If it doesn't become vapourware.

The various teasers can be seen here

Another attempt at this was made a few years ago and that became vapourware

No doubt there'll be a crowdfunding effort to scam some people out of their money 😏
Btw, love the signature 👍

There’s pictures now, and stats, with an estimated caveat.

Depressing that the new delorean looks like any other generic 2020 saloon car.
Main selling point of the delorean in the past was its iconic styling - you'd instantly recognise it from a mile away

Looks good to me but who knows if it will ever see the light of day.

I think it's a beaut, personally I think the best angle for cars is from the rear, the aerodynamics push all EVs into similarity from the front

I don't see how that looks like a generic 2020 saloon car.

A lump of gimmicks. I say no thanks to wearing a wristband so the driver can see where I am on the map at all times. Weird.

This car has nothing to do with the original Delorean Motor Company and a number of legal cases are currently underway

This may still be vapourware, but they paid someone enough to have one turn up in the new Fast & Furious 😂
