DeLorean Back in Production Starting 2016

Delorean Motor Company is starting up production of the original car selling for less than $100,000 at their new production site in Humble Texas according to the story and interview with CEO Stephen Wynne.

 

Under a low production bill approved in DC, this company is now funded to start up production of the DeLorean with a variety of engines.

According to the story, refurbished DeLoreans sell for between $45,000 and $50,000, so a new one with a variety of Power Trains priced under $100,000 should do well according to the CEO.

 

What are your thoughts? Can DeLorean make a come back? Should they stick with the engine they have, use a modern Turbo 4 or TT V6 or go pure EV?

 

Sound off on your thoughts about this.

Wonder if they will update the lights to use LED rather than the old bulbs, be interesting to see if they do this as a kit car and keep it the same or if they modernize it.

 

A modernized Stainless Steel car like this with the Turbo 4 or 6 or Electric motor should get people interested, but I agree I think it is a limited market for a two door two person sports car.

The engine in the original was a 130hp lump, they can do better than that. I wonder if they will upgrade to modern size tires and wheels..if not for the BTTF movies, the DeLorean would be a forgotten marque like the Bricklin...  the stainless steel body was an interesting detail.   I always liked the angular styling of these..the styling alone definitely stands out amongst the angry plasticky designs of today..
