Tech / Transportation DeLorean Goes Electric

Posted by Alex Zielinski on Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 1:44 PM

So we've got the Back to the Future lace-up sneakers on the market. What's next, an all-electric DeLorean?
YES.

The way I see it, if youre gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
  • DeLorean Motor Company
  • "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"

The DeLorean Motor Company plans to release the current model of the all-electric DMC-12 in 2013. Says the company's press release: "For several years, DeLorean Motor Company of Texas has been reconstituting the fruit of John Z. Deloreans’s troubled loins." I can dig it.

The car can reach up to 125 mph and has a 260 horsepower engine. Like any other electric vehicle on the market, the DMC-12 will hook up to a charging stations or home charger to reboot. That is, if the clock tower isn't doing the trick.
