Retro Post 1982:The Delorean

The Delorean

The Car Of The Future Has Arrived

Your car collection is rife with rides from Italy, Germany, even Sweden, but you might want to make room in the garage for this hotrod from…Northern Ireland? That’s right. The DeLorean DMC-12 puts the “fast” in Belfast with its PRV V6 engine. And the DeLorean is unlike any car you’ve seen before–its gull-wing doors open UP instead of OUT, and its flat hood and fiberglass underbody give it a distinct style and panache. It looks almost as if it were beamed down from a spaceship or blasted into 1982 from the future. The company is only expecting to create 9,000 of these beauties, so you’d better move fast. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing much more from the DeLorean Motor Company.
