Delorean tweeted this out recently. I like that you can already get apparel.

But $125 for a hoodie, I don't know...

I'm excited to see what a modern interpretation of the DeLorean will look like. Though I think it's going to be extremely limited numbers.

The DeLorean EV is going to be revealed at this year's Pebble Beach Concours. I didn't realize the car is supposed to be celebrating DeLorean's 40th anniversary.

DeLorean EV revival to debut at Pebble Beach - Autoblog

DeLorean Motors Reimagined will reveal its new electric DeLorean revival at Pebble Beach in August.

www.autoblog.com

DeLorean Motors Reimagined confirmed this week that its new electric car concept will debut in August at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. This all-electric model is billed as a spiritual successor to the original DeLorean (also known as the DMC-12), incorporating its signature gullwing-style doors. The EV hopeful shared a teaser clip of its new model (doors and all) earlier this month, but it wasn't until this week that the company confirmed to Car and Driver that the new concept would be shown at Pebble this fall.

While a series of "continuation" DMC-12s has ostensibly been in the works for some time, this project represents a complete pivot for DeLorean Motor Company, which has endured by selling replacement parts for existing DeLoreans. For this project, the company looked to Joost De Vries (subscription), whom you may remember from such projects as the revived Karma Automotive.

This electrified revival was planned to coincide with the original DeLorean's 40th anniversary. which would have technically been in 2021. Normally, we'd just say "better late than never," but if any car company can turn back time, it's DeLorean, right?

The unique, long lasting 40+ year-partnership shared with DeLorean Motor Company comes out shaped as a ‘reimagined’, electric car featuring gullwing doors and the distinctive Italdesign styling appeal.

“With DeLorean – said Andrea Porta, Italdesign Business Development Manager – we’re working on a car that is the authentic expression of all the services Italdesign is well-known for on an international level. Starting from the styling, as we are official partner,”.

Historically, the DeLorean-Italdesign relationship goes back to November 1974, when Italdesign was entrusted to work on a very ambitious project: a 2-seater, rear-engined, sports car almost exclusively aimed at the American market.

The future was never promised. Today, it is.

“We are very excited that the next evolution of the DeLorean brand will be represented by our storied partnership with Italdesign – stated Troy Beetz CMO, DeLorean – and a vehicle that will showcase our vision for the future,”.

The 2022 result of this privileged collaboration will be premiered at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, on August 21st, on display among vehicles representing the world automotive excellence.

The first step of this renewed collaboration is styling. Further information will be disclosed during the event at Pebble Beach.

The Delorean Alpha5 finally got revealed.

DeLorean Alpha5 Revealed As Electric Coupe With 300 Miles Of Range

The DeLorean Motor Company has unveiled the all-new Alpha5, a stunning electric coupe that promises a 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph.

DeLorean Alpha5 Revealed As Electric Coupe With 300 Miles Of Range
Italdesign gave it the largest gullwing doors we've ever seen.
DeLorean is officially back and ready to embrace the future by hopping on the electric bandwagon with its all-new Alpha5. Much like its source of inspiration, the iconic DMC-12, this one too takes the shape of a stylish coupe with gullwing doors styled by Italdesign. The top-hinged massive doors and rear glass louvers are essentially the only nods to the past as the rest of the design is thoroughly modern.

In keeping with today's EVs, it has massive wheels and slim lights front and rear. Its curvaceous body hosts the charging port on the driver’s side front fender, so no more having to open the trunk to access the gasoline cap. The Alpha5 has a two-tone finish and a swoopy roofline reminiscent of the car made famous by the Back to the Future trilogy.

Inside, gone is the flux capacitor as it has made way for two individual rear seats. As with the latest high-end EVs, it does away with most (if not all) conventional controls as everything has been embedded into the touchscreen residing on a "floating" center console. The driver has a wide fully digital instrument cluster and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. Accessing the rear seats should be a breeze given how wide the gullwing doors are and the absence of a B-pillar.

DeLorean remains coy on details about the drivertrain, but it does say the Alpha5 needs 3.4 seconds to 60 mph (96 km/h) and tops out at an electronically capped 150 mph (241 km/h). It has a battery pack with a capacity of more than 100 kWh, good for an EPA-estimated range in excess of 300 miles (483 kilometers). Mind you, all these specs apply to the "base performance model," suggesting hotter versions are on the way.

We also know the electric coupe has a remarkably low drag coefficient of only 0.23, which isn't the best in the business as Mercedes has achieved a Cd of 0.20 with the EQS liftback. Thankfully, there's no underpowered V6 gasoline engine from Peugeot-Renault-Volvo anymore, replaced with an unspecified electric setup that'll go from 0 to 88 mph (142 km/h) in 4.35 seconds after which it probably won't time travel.

It's much bigger than its ancestor, stretching at 4,995 millimeters (196.6 inches) long, 2,044 mm (80.4 in) wide, and 1,370 mm (53.9 in) tall when the gullwing doors are closed. DeLorean says it has outsourced production to Italy whereas the powertrain will be provided by a supplier from the UK.

Only 88 (of course!) cars will be made, with a V8-powered sports coupe to follow. If everything goes according to plan, the extended lineup is bound to include an electric sedan and even a hydrogen-powered SUV. Following its public debut in August at Pebble Beach, the DeLorean Alpha5 will enter production in 2024.

I wonder what V8 they're going to use for the ICE models. Probably from Ford or Chevy?

I think a version of the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine from the current Ford Mustang GT could be it.

I was checking out the DeLorean Instagram page and John DeLorean's daughter does not like what they're doing at all!

If she thinks this is bad, just wait for the Delorean SUVs. The CEO says the company will be a “full-line manufacturer"

DeLorean CEO States the Company Will Be a Full-Line Manufacturer

DeLorean will not stick with a recreation of the DMC-12. According to what Joost de Vries told the guys from Electrify News, the idea is for the brand to become a “full-line manufacturer.” Interestingly, the company’s CEO said this is something DeLorean itself required.
