Back to the future? The DeLorean is coming back as an all-electric sports car

[peppertree]

DeLorean’s future is electric.

After years of rumors, one of the most iconic vehicles of the 1980s is officially coming back. Nearly 40 years after first stealing our imaginations in 1985’s Back to the Future, the DMC-12 will be reborn as an EV.

Shortly before Sunday’s Super Bowl, the DeLorean Motor Company announced its return in a 15-second video clip uploaded to its official social media accounts.

Unfortunately, the video doesn’t reveal what the EV will look like, although the teased silhouette will definitely remind you of Marty McFly’s vehicle of choice. Oh, and in case you were worried, the signature gullwing doors are along for the ride.

1. I smell scam

and the Delorean wasn't much of a car.

2. If it wasn't for the movie, the DeLorean would have been long forgotten like the Bricklin

Got a lot of hype, but by the time it finally went on sale it was underpowered and cost significantly more than originally forecast.
