DeLorean DMC-12 to be reborn as all-electric sports car in 2022
This isn't the first time the revived marque has hinted at plans to bring back the DMC. Last year, 40 years to the day since the launch of the car, design house Italdesign showed a similar teaser image, suggesting that it's collaborating on the project.
Italdesign was founded by revered designed Giorgetto Giugiaro, who was responsible for shaping the original DMC's characteristically angular stainless-steel body. It's unclear whether the new DeLorean will be so faithful to the original design as to go with an unpainted steel finish, but it will at least have similar gullwing doors.
In 2016, a new low-volume manufacturing bill gave the DeLorean Motor Company the green light to build a 300-off continuation series of original-spec DMCs, but the regulations didn't come into effect until 2019, and there has been no confirmation that the firm is continuing with these plans alongside the launch of the EVolved.
