You Can Now Pre-Order the 2017 DeLorean
Dust off your hoverboard, the DeLorean DMC-12 has returned. Like a Phoenix from the ashes, it has taken a few decades to realize the potential of the revolutionary car. Only 8,583 original cars were built from 1981 to ’83, but when the company became insolvent most of the parts were simply boxed up and sold. Historians offer many reasons why John DeLorean’s brand went under, but the simple truth is that the car was from the future.
His career started at Pontiac in 1956, but he left GM as the head of Chevrolet in 1973 to build his own car. With cars like the GTO and Vega to his credit, John sought to build a car he would want to drive. Unencumbered by the bean counters of the big car companies, he pulled together the best minds in the world in 1980. An innovative chassis from Lotus and breathtaking styling by Giugiaro have made the car timeless in the eyes of many.
