We’ve received no news of a flux capacitor, but louvers and gull wings still make the cut on DeLorean’s new electric coupe.
Seemingly lost to legend since its Hollywood heyday, the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) roared back onto the exotic car scene over Memorial Day weekend.
Er, maybe it “hummed” its way back.
“An Icon is validated over time but to constantly reimagine mobility allows new icons to come into existence,” the brand said.
As a result, its new offering runs on the next best thing to Doc’s old-sneaker-and-banana-peel fuel concoction: electricity. The DeLorean Alpha5 flashed into the present moment on May 30.

Its top performance model blazes from 0 to 60 in 2.99 seconds (claimed), which may not be enough to leave flaming tire tracks on the tarmac. But it should be plenty to keep the driver from looking silly versus any other electric car except a Rimac or a Tesla Model S Plaid.
DeLorean says you’ll be able to make it from your current position in time to some relatively distant future location with a 300-mile range.
