DeLorean: With electric power into the future 🎥
COMEBACK The cult brand DeLorean returns - with a sports car that only has the gullwing concept in common with the original model known from the "Back to the Future" movie, the DMC-12.
At a smooth five meters long, 2.04 meters wide and 1.37 meters high, the new DeLorean has ample room for four occupants, while the much more compact original, at 4.27 meters long, 1.99 meters wide and 1.14 meters high, was designed as a pure two-seater. Unlike the DMC-12 (center gallery), the Alpha V does not have a stainless steel body.
From 0 to 100 km/h in just under three seconds
Beneath the expansive shell is no longer a V6 engine like the original, but an electric drive with a battery of more than 100 kWh capacity. It should catapult the Alpha V from 0 to 100 km/h in just under three seconds and enable a top speed of 250 km/h.
The brand is silent about further technical details like the weight, as well as the price and the market launch of the new model.
Criticism of the design of the e-sports car
Incidentally, there is already criticism of the confusingly unoriginal design of the electric sports car, which is obviously a generic design by the Ital Design company.
A top designer criticized the car as having no relevance in the context of DeLorean history. Instead of using the iconic design of the DMC logo and the original typeface, they opted for a "cheap science fiction typeface" and copied the logo of the Vietnamese brand Vinfast.
