New Delorean

Looks like DMC has stopped teasing and put out pics of their proposed new EV.



It's not bad (making it a four-seater makes it look to long imo), but I appreciate that they've provided the 0-88 mph times.

Those door struts are going to have to be seriously heavy duty though. I can't imagine those skinny little things in the render will be up to the task (unless they want to replicate the originals' tendency to fail).

They are just renders. The bigger issue is there is no place for them to go when closed!

No need to waste time on the interior since the trips are so short.

Sleek design, but completely missed the mark by adding too many seats but it would probably be a fun car to drive after some serious weight loss. Makes me wonder if DMC will incorporate some hidden storage compartment for cocaine trafficking
