This reinvented version of the original DMC-12 (the vehicle’s official name; most people simply refer to it as “The DeLorean”) will be a concept automobile, which is a kind way of saying “vaporware.” There is no sign that the present DeLorean firm possesses the financial resources or production capability necessary to begin mass-producing electrified versions of John Z. DeLorean’s iconic coupes.
Last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved low-volume production of antique replica cars, increasing the likelihood that we’ll see brand new DMC-12s before the electrified DeLorean hits the road.
Having said that, it appears as though the DeLorean Motor Company is willing to milk this sucker for all it’s worth. Not only is the business intending to park its undeniably stunning electric vehicle on the grass at Pebble Beach, but it is also preparing three days of “activities and events” to build anticipation for the revelation. August 18th will be the official unveiling.
