So we’ve gone way past when Marty McFly was supposed to have traveled into the future last October 2015. We’ve already got self-lacing shoes from Nike. And now the DeLorean DMC-12 (the car to which Doc Brown strapped on the flux capacitor) might just get a revival by 2017.
DMC (though not the original manufacturers but a company that continued supplying parts to DeLorean enthusiasts) is planning to produce new models.
The company obtained the rights to the name and marks after buying the supplies from the old DMC. They apparently have enough supply to create new ones. Adjusted US rules on small-run manufacturers enabled DMC to go into production.
The classic sleek stainless steel body and gullwing doors help make the DeLorean iconic beyond the film. However, in reality, critics consider it a crap car due to reliability issues. It apparently guzzles gas too.
The car is powered by a 2.85L V6 and gearbox from Peugeot-Renault-Volvo (PRC). Power is channeled to the rear wheels. These help the car to 0 to 60 mp in 8.8 seconds with a manual.
If the new models could sport improved engineering then DMC might do well with the nostalgia market.
Where’s the part where it ckuld go on sale in the Philippines? F***ing click bait article!! F*** you Alex
We didn’t say it was going to be on sale here. We always mention if a car is indeed going to come to the Philippines. Half of the traffic of this site comes from the US, actually so we also post automotive news in general.
How much would this car cost in the Philippine market if it indeed came here? (And I hope it will!)
