I've heard DeLorean was a fellow classmate of Terry McAuliffe. It looks like both were not able to produce any real "green" vehicles in 2013. Oh well ... there's always next year.

No, but at least Fast Terry will get 400,000 more enslaved to medicaid, make gay marriage the preference, and give in-state tuition to illegals.

One of the best car commercials ever, dramatic and to the point.

Electric is the way to go. Never pay for gas or oil EVER again.

Gasoline engines will be around until the 2040s. Hopefully by then we have batteries that can go thousands of miles between recharges and only take a few minutes to charge up.

The original DeLorean Motor Company went out of business in 1982. Someone bought all the parts inventory and has been selling parts to collectors. They are not in any way connected to the original company.

No shit, Mr. Dumbass.



Given the car's iconic classic/futuristic status, it's no surprise that the DeLorean DMC-12 is a popular car for DIY electric car conversions. That an honest-to-goodness official DeLorean EV is coming from Humble, Texas' reborn DeLorean Motor Company itself, though? That we did not see coming. It makes sense, though. If you're gonna build a time machine electric car, why not do it with some style?

Announced Friday night at the DMC Texas Open House, DMC said it plans to work with electric car startup Epic EV to get an all-electric DMC-12 into production by 2013. Epic is the company started by Aptera co-founder Chris Anthony that is working on the Torq and Amp vehicles (and some rather clever videos). Early reports say the Electric DeLorean will have a maximum speed of 125 miles per hour and offer 260 horsepower for something like $90,000-100,000. The gullwing doors should remain, but we're not sure where the motor will go (the original DeLorean used a rear-mounted engine), let alone the battery pack. This isn't the first time a DeLorean with an alternative powertrain has been talked about. Before his death in 2005, John DeLorean hinted that a hydraulic hybrid drivetrain might find a home in a relaunched DMC-12. That never happened, of course.

Specific technical details on the upcoming DeLorean Electric are sparse, but we're pretty sure it will be able to recharge its 1.21 gigawatt-hour battery instantly when connected to the right power source. You know, until the inevitable Mr. Fusion model gets the green light.

Get out your lightning rods and Sony Walkmans, this is going to be fun to watch.

But it is no an "official DeLorean." Some guy in Texas with no relation to the original company is building cars using old DeLorean parts. No different than selling a Lamborghini kit car. Do you consider those to be real?
