Delorean’s Epic Comeback
From the clock‑ticking icon of the ‘80s to a sleek electric dream, the famed Delorean DMC‑12 is finally revving into the future—literally.
Why This Matters
- The time‑machine that made every kid’s bedroom poster was re‑born in Texas.
- After almost four decades of silence, the brand’s new kid on the block, Alpha5 EV, is here to shake up the EV scene.
- CEO de Vries (a former Tesla executive) claims the Alpha5 will match the Mercedes‑AMG GT and maybe even outshine a Porsche Taycan.
What Makes Alpha5 a Game‑Changer?
The Alpha5 EV isn’t just another electric vehicle; it’s a nostalgic throwback packed with modern tech. Think: a vintage chassis meets cutting‑edge battery tech. It’s designed to deliver:
- Instant torque that will make you feel like you’re in a sci‑fi movie.
- Zero emissions—so you can hop in without stealing a few smiles from the greenhouse.
- A sleek body that’s still unmistakably Delorean (yes, the gull‑wing doors are back).
The Bottom Line
If you’re still nostalgic for the Ford Ford…… well, actually, the too much “delorean” story is gone. There’ll be 0 burn. We’re going to be awesome time machine. The “car of watch” which also is not sure if it shares a link, et al. Stay tuned!

De Lorean’s Bold New Electric Kid: The Alpha5
Imagine a car that’s shoo‑tlfuelling, climate‑friendly, and yet flashes a wink at the classic Back to The Future era. That’s the promise behind De Lorean’s freshly‑brain‑washed Alpha5, and it’s set to hit the market in a blister‑fast, ultra‑exclusive run of 88 units.
Why 88? Does the number matter?
The bold choice isn’t random. In the movie, the DeLorean clocked a mind‑blowing 88 mph. Our modern EV keeps that legacy alive, with a top speed of 249 km/h (about 155 mph) – fast enough to make you feel like you’re in a sci‑fi episode without actually time‑traveling.
Where’s the Power?
- Battery: 100 kWh – the biggest in the family yet.
- Range: 482 km (~300 miles) – just enough to skip the next Refuel‑Stop and keep your inner road‑trip nerds happy.
- Production location: Built in Italy, with UK partners handling the powertrain.
CEO De Vries has stayed tight‑lipped, but we can safely say it’s a concoction of high‑end engineering and a dash of nostalgia.
From Pebble Beach to the Road
The Alpha5 will first take its seat at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elégance in August 2022 – a show where classic cars do the flamboyant twirl of their own. The next step, you guessed it, is production slated for 2024.
