It's back... DeLorean to be resurrected with US$100,000 EV If you fell in love with the De Lorean in the Back to the Future movie series, the good news is that in 2013, you'll be able to buy a real one again. It won't have a flux capacitor, won't time-travel and it'll still be a thirty year-old design, albeit styled by Giugiaro himself, and structurally redesigned by Colin Chapman of Lotus fame after De Lorean himself screwed up the first design. View all One thing it will have is the same horsepower De Lorean originally envisaged for the car - from a 200+ bhp electric motor, not the original wankel engine. Sadly, the wankel (rotary) engine was way too thirsty, and the V6 that replaced it produced just 130 bhp. http://www.gizmag.com/delorean-to-be-resurected-wi th-us100000-125-mph-ev/20188/ | ||

That is a bit misleading, they have been making "new" built to order DeLoreans for a few years now. | ||

True, I was a bit slack and just copied the headline. It'll be interesting to see how many electric ones get made. | ||

mmmm I would love a Fiero, but gutted and lightened, and fattened up in the engine bay. A nice GNX Turbo 6 in the rails, I like the second gen better, but kill the pop up headlights. damn it, evil link. | ||

I struck up a conversation with a guy at a local diner. He was a volunteer fire fighter in a small-ish town. He said that in his career, he had put out three car fires. Two of them were Fieros (Fieroes?). | ||

The fire issues only plagued the earlier years, the later ones were great, even better if you swap in a V8. | ||

I have a 88 Formula Fiero that I put in a 3.4 v6 out of a 95 Camaro. Good running car. It's been just sitting in the garage for about five years now. I'm thinking about digging it out and playing with turbo charging a little. | ||

That car was designed to look like the HOT WHEELS Jack Rabbitt Special. | ||

the fiero was designed to be special, but gutted and fitted with cheap bin parts at the last minute by gm. studied this quite a bit in the '80 as an architecture project when we designed an auto factory. the fiero was ahead of it's time until reality set in and the bean counters took over. | ||
