The renewed brand DeLorean showed the very first images of the model that will characterize his return to the scene. It’s a matter of Alpha5one full electric sports car which is heir to the DMC-12 but only chronologically and spiritually. The new car is a two-door (with a gull-wing opening) with very round and streamlined lines. The points of contact with the original car of the American brand, made famous more by the problems of its founder and by the film Back to the Future that from its actual road skills, they are very few. In short, it is a delayed revolution
The car, which will be produced in Italy thanks in particular to the work of Italdesign, will make its public debut in August during the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The list prices are not known, nor the distribution strategy, although a commercial start in the United States is highly probable. From a technical point of view, the car should have a version with a 100 kWh battery, capable of guaranteeing almost 500 kilometers of autonomy. The maximum speed will be 250 kilometers per hour.
Curiously, the time it takes to reach 88 mph will be 4.35 seconds. Speed is the one needed, in the aforementioned 1985 film by Robert Zemeckis, to activate time travel. That will not be the case with this sedan-sized car, whose aesthetics will certainly make aficionados of the original car argue.
The new DeLorean is a four-seater coupe-sedan 4.99 meters long, with gull-wing doors that occupy the entire side. The lines have an aerodynamic function, and therefore some eighties concepts that would have given less efficiency have been set aside. The interior has no particular frills, because it has different connections with current cars. The Alpha5 Launch Edition is aesthetically distinguished by a special color, which goes from red to pink, in this launch variant the cockpit features black finishes with elements in body color for the upper part of the seats.
