I’m gonna have to disagree with Chip on the rear of the DMC12. Those taillights are iconic, and are probably the most 80s looking car feature ever. That’s the one part of the design I wouldn’t touch.

[@moonlight5050]

Without doubt the most recognisable car lights in history....iconic personified 👍

[@TheRealFobican]

Or at least change too much on.

[@shtdaprdtr]

The drawing looks like how I drew cars as a kid..youd see front and back at the same time.

[@sageoz9886]

It came off as too lazy to draw two separate 3/4 view pics

[@langraman8756]

he cant draw

[@ForzaMonkey]

He can, but in an attempt to get all angles, he went with a panoramic view of it rather than 3/4 view X2.

[@StylusPT]

Well, that's the secret behind Picasso's masterpieces, he would do like a planning of an object or person, so there you have it, you little Picasso.

[@leeblackharry]

I knew i was seeing something off lol

[@arlingtonhynes]

I love this guy. He can take any car ever made and turn it into a Chrysler Concorde.

[@markusfilmore7295]

ROTFLMAO

[@ovrboost]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@taylorhumes7567]

Haha. Right?

[@langraman8756]

he is a crap car designer over hyped

[@miketeeveedub5779]

The Delorean was designed by legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. He's responsible for some remarkable design examples (mk1 Golf/Scirocco, BMW M1, Lotus Esprit, De Tomaso Mangusta, Maserati Ghibli, etc). He has a very specific design philosophy. I normally stick up for Chip, but this rendition takes away from Giorgetto's design aesthetic. Sometime it's better just to leave the originals alone.

[@trix321]

Agree 100%, when something is perfect you shouldn't mess with it.

[@knytrydr73]

There was Mercedes concept designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro that never made production. Many of the DMC-12s designs are almost identical. That said, I do like they way Chip redid the rear of the car.

[@ThreeSpeedBikes]

Well said

[@dsauce8780]

“Let’s have some fun and draw a Delorean” Easy there master critic. You’re acting the like chip didn’t spend the first 45 seconds explaining that he actually LIKES most of the design as a unique work from the start. Called an exercise.

[@maceykoe]

Yes, who can forget the grace and elegance of the 1988 Hyundai Excel.

[@MrBen2177]

I really like the DeLorean looks. Wouldn’t change anything on the car. The design is solid.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Agree Giugiaro was great he did previously Lotus Esprit, BMW M1, DeTomaso Mangusta, Porsche Tapiro.. all with similar ques in style so maybe he wanted to bring the European success into the US market the main issue was that as Chip mentioned DeLorean upset many GM leading boarder guys, so he left by it's own creating his own brand that is why this car suffered from what we know as cheap build quality by cutting all expensive materials & parts costs which translated and resulted in what DeLorean car it is ..

[@wickedhouston5538]

​@@poplaurentiu4148 John DeLorean designed the car. Giorgetto helped with the final design

[@stevandrakulic1246]

It is interesting that Chip mentioned a Yugo at the end. I would really like to see an redesign of a Yugo by Chip Foose!

[@dgadver]

Also front looks like an old VW Jetta now... lol.

[@cariusx]

Renault Fuego came to my mind

[@dgadver]

@@cariusx haha... Chip bats a .999 usually.

[@sageoz9886]

cariusx I also got that, as well as a Sterling. His new front looks super generic 80's as does the tail lights. The original is so much better

[@langraman8756]

looks like a ford

[@petergplus6667]

I love Chip but low riding and destroying the design of a a perfect 80s car?! Maybe it's only cause I dislike lowered cars in general. It always looks like owners of these cars had mechanics that hate them by breaking their suspensions.

[@langraman8756]

chip is hyped

[@DoctorZisIN]

Hey! low riders will never go out of estilo, eeese!

[@uncleronny6748]

After having wrenched on at least a few thousand of these back in the day I can honestly say there was much room for improvement from new. By the time the DMC12 left Dunmurray there were 2 pages of mechanical retrofits alone! As for the body, the front/rear fascias never fit correctly as their mounting systems were ill conceived costing John Z a small fortune in man hours to correct. I made a special pry bar in the shape of a P trap to lift the center of the front fascia up by bending the metal panel under it. There were also many a cracked front fender so to that end fabricating a new DMC13 would be better in some alloy with a stainless wrap. If I remember correctly there were horrendous reception problems with the stereos in the DMC12 on account of static caused by bare metal at speed. Also, you Foose Folk need to add a baby bump to that hood so the rear flippin tire can actually be stowed. And don't let any of that Lotus epoxy-coated-buffoonery influence the suspension design for godsakes.

[@rogerprattiii4015]

Whats he drawing?? Pimp my Delorean??

[@pacerodi]

I wouldn`t mess with the DeLorean. It is fine just as it is.

[@jayp3564]

It's Iconic and I like it the way it is. You can't update the design and bring it into the future. That's already been done. Thanks Doc!

[@philipnylund]

The "new" front looks like a Volvo 🤣

[@joseventurausmc]

It had a volvo engine so why not.

[@dgmart577]

[@ciaran8306]

I wish I could go back to 1955 and stop Chip from drawing this dreadful picture :-(

[@DoctorZisIN]

You would need a time machine.

[@architectjeff]

This video series with Chip is phenomenal. I could watch this series for years to come.

[@SHOdown13]

Great job Chip. You turned a DeLorean into a J-car Cavalier. Some cars were never meant to be approved upon.

[@archiscapes1503]

It’s perfect in its original form..

[@blueridgegarage]

Final product looks like a 90's American Ford Escort redesigned front and a 240z redesigned rear. 🤔 The DMC-12 was a quintessential 80's car in the 80's from the 80's.... The redsigned one barely rubs the 90's in the authentic way....

[@dumahim]

Heh, I was thinking the rear looked like a 300zx

[@blueridgegarage]

@@dumahim and it kind of does. Either way, very Nissan by design.

[@paulduffy697]

My father in law was a product manager for DMC , he was there for the foundations of the factory being laid into the ground until it closed. In its time it was a high tech factory with robot type moving platforms believe it or not ,The biggest mistake was how quickly the car went from designed to manufacture, I think it was 2 years which is crazy , most probably would be around 5 to 10 years 🤔.. the factory was also built in the time of the “troubles”situation in Ireland and it got fire bombed destroying plans and other important information, but amazingly both sides of these factions worked under the same roof without issue..it has a very interesting history, Back to the future film appearance was just part of it.

[@David_Walker16-3-51]

I used to think I could draw cars but when I showed the finished work to my wife, she would always say it looked twisted. Looking at this, I can see what she meant.

[@davidjoe3368]

I understand Chip's take on the DeLorean, it's not perfect, however, changing the design of that car, would be like looking at the Mona Lisa, and deciding to make her into a blonde instead of a brunette, or something ridiculous like that. That is the design, whether we like it or not, and it is Iconic, and a permanent part of Automotive History.

[@atlass8331]

I own a DeLorean DMC-12 and Personally I wouldn't change a single design aspect of the DeLorean DMC-12, exterior or interior. I don't not think it was dated when it came out and it still stands out as a beautiful car today, especially the interior was so clean and simple it was really ahead of it's time. I remember hearing John DeLorean say in an interview, "I wanted the interior to still look good 40 years from now. " And it does. Mechanically and electronically the car is and has always been a nightmare. I bought my car with 6k original mike's on it and the car show show condition. Sadly that's not the case anymore. The car has never run in any real way. It's a giant, expensive paperweight that breaks my heart every day I see it. I've sent the car out to be fix and had it come back more damaged, I spent my saving getting it relates by the DeLorean dealership in Southern California and the car. Dies before I could get it home and so many things were just done wrong got he car and they refuse to take any ownership of responsibility. So basically I gave them my life savings so they could make my car even worse. It's so depressing. I keep promising my nephew I'll pick him up from school in it and I can't. I've missed out on special event because I didn't have my car. It's so depressing. My dream car has been nothing but a nightmare.

[@jerrybailey5797]

I love this version , but the optical illusion of see both the front and back view at the same time ..... made myeyes go funny 😄😆

[@THE_Michael_Westen]

Huge respect for Chip and I sure can't do it better. But if he thinks the car looked dated before it now looks like a 70s concept of a 2000 car.

[@mrt7152]

To be honest I like the original design more. Is such a 80’s icon.

[@texleeger8973]

The graduated circle template is so cool old school.

[@basithph8958]

A new Delorean that has an actual reliable engine and something that won’t try to lock you in would be ideal

[@АнтонЖмурко-б1ф]

спереди выглядит как Москвич 2141

[@merlinbalke1735]

Interesting drawing that gives us a side view and 3/4 front and rears at the same time.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Great vid! You should do one where Chip goes over the art supplies he uses for these creations.

[@faustomartin2954]

Chip your the best! The original car should stay in the past like everyone that thinks it looks great for whatever reason. Maybe they like it because it takes them back to a simpler time, but I think your subtle changes are cool and clean. I’m sure you’d have a big block with tons of power in it.

[@TonySchiffbauer]

At least he didn't add the 24" wheels

[@weallfollowmanutd]

He's basically taken the best parts of the car and made a generic 1980s front and rear end.

[@diegobittar7425]

1990s generic, no even todays.

[@wrenchinnerd8173]

hmm, I have been restoring my Delorean for almost 20 years now (sad I know). I was hoping for some cool design ideas to make her a little different. I think Chip is super talented, but this fell flat with me.... Looks like the front and back of an 80's Dodge Omni.

[@a-kazebo-z5139]

Chip,,, met you at Pasadena college of design back in the day,,,,, looks like Pietro Frua’s design concept proposal for the 914....or the VW-Porsche Tapiro ,,,,once again back in the day......Ps: Still love you talent after all these years....

[@moses4188]

Wow! I was drawing banana cars like this as a child because I wanted to capture the front and the pack of the car at the same time 😂🍌🚗

[@furgulley8077]

That's some MC Escher action going with the drawing. I like the rear change but I'm not feeling the front end. Thats the trouble with redesigning iconic vehicles. They are so ingrained into the brain that most people are pretty critical of any change. I know that happened with chip's countach design as well. Interesting to see nonetheless.

[@judgedread-q4t]

Looks like it would do left-turns really well.

[@eltigreandthewalrus]

Chip Foose drawing in the 4th dimension.

[@RichardInTN]

While it was an interesting thought experiment, there's one problem with your design, Chip... The back edge of the door won't accommodate the window rolling down, and you didn't put in the "mini, inset window" into the full window to deal with that.

[@arianrod83]

Stretched Conquest vibes for days x.x.

[@lawlerslaw9144]

As a former DeLorean owner and all-time Foose fan, I was so excited for this. But this just wasn't it. I like his idea to bring the rear bumper around, but the front looks so plain now. Changing the angle made it look like an 80s Mustang or worse. The compact design is what makes the car work, and now it's too long (especially with the MC Escher drawing). I like that he didn't change the wheels though, and improved the door line. The taillights were also really special, and I wish he would have kept that look but just make them deeper. The biggest issue with the car was that it went from a mid-engine design to rear engine... just to fit golf clubs -- sounds familiar (cough C8 cough), and that's coming from somebody with one ordered.

[@fritzmeynejr2983]

The first design you have done, that does not work, in my opinion. I was excited to see what you would do. Glad this was not my only knowledge of your phenomenal design skills!

[@angelicupstart23]

The design of the delorean was beautiful as is... problem was all power train.

[@darahdoyle3176]

Hello? Hello McFly? The DeLorean is perfect and of its time. Chip normally adds to a design, but this time he's turned a Silk Purse back into a Sows ear.

[@amenstal123]

Cool Contemporary Design and Concept for me.

[@pmac2558]

Delorean reminds me of the Toyota celica Supra 1st gen. Hey Chip, bet you can't improve on this '79-'81 Supra body! It's up there with the 2000gt & jag e-type! Most beautiful works of art ever!

[@AMERICANLEGENDModelBuilder]

Very nice touch on 5/4 view!

[@KhanIlkara]

I'll admit I kept looking through comments for someone who would have commented on the DeLorean story and I just didn't see it. I wouldn't say that it was so much John Z's mouth getting the better of him so much as just that he apparently was a threat. He actually pissed people off on a few fronts, particularly the British Parliament when he decided to found the company in Ireland which by itself was a whole bowl of wax because of the relationship of both nations. There was also the talk about the cocaine and money laundering, which come to find out was never proven and later come out to be a false accusation as a "legitimate" front to hose him down. There were also the other auto manufacturers who saw this as a potential threat to their sales. Many people had it out for the guy and when he died, he was both broke and living on a farm with the tattered remains of his family. The complete story is out there and those are just pieces of the puzzle.

[@justoreynav.8625]

This is what AI or a computer just cannot do, and is keeping with the same essence of how the original was made the human factor of the design gives it soul.

[@3DIYOriginal]

Awesome design. Love the idea !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jturner7403]

How about doing a redesign of the 96 Impala SS. What would it look like with your added touch?

[@Anonymous-uno]

Is that 90 Tbird or Mustang headlights and side markers with Pantera tail lights? Maybe the drawing doesn't do it justice. I like the missing rubber strip down the sides and why not eliminate the front and rear rubber add ons completely (all stainless o like Chips revision in aluminum painted gray metallic)...I like the Billet aluminum versions of the factory wheels and IF he lowers and stretches it like the drawing. (chip draws them that way, but doesn't usually build it lowered and stretched)

[@marcocerqueira2732]

I like what you did with the rear. Reminds me of the Mangusta. However the front looks like a cheap Ford Escort. Also how does the door window open? No way that glass fits into the door. Pretty cool design showing the front and rear at the same time I never seen that before.

[@smooth8397]

Nice work. I like the new rear more than the new front...but nice work. The original rubber-look front and rear were never up to par with the rest of the design.

[@azizmb3489]

Mr. Chip I think of you .you are the best one that has a fixing car I have ever seen that made any car from its real look to new look, in your tv show,, that the car you fix became 1000 time more good and cute than the original factory-made inside-outside made,, I know that you are very top good in design cars 2D,3D real,, but the DeLorean car is ok good at all in total look when it was made at its time,, what you did for it was less in total look but really good to another type of the Delorean at more different kind,,, I love your tv show very much the art of making cars a dream one,, you are the best

[@scottrichard6579]

Amazing how you can make the front and back end face the viewer at the same time. 🤔

[@paullee180]

Doc Brown would be horrified

[@dvddmc]

the reason he went with the Stainless steel is because the panels if damaged could easily be removed and another put on with out any work done to it such as having to paint it. he wanted to make a car that was built to last. Something the car makers of today dont want to do. have it for a few years and get another car. I dont think so

[@ViperDent]

You made the front look like a Moskvich 2141 :D They're both supposed to be affordable I guess - the rear a little bit as well!

[@ДенсиГераськов]

The design of the front part turned out like on the Soviet car 86's Moskvich 2141!))

[@marsha821230]

I thought there was a small option a certain dealerships or a dealership or you could actually get it in red I know I've seen them somewhere before if I remember correctly

[@robertos4172]

There is in the drawing a clear change in height of the roof line, the side windows are narrower. To really get an idea of the merits of the changes proposed...this just confuses things. In any event I thought the original rear facia one of the most successful aspects of the original design. The C pillars really date the car to me. Difficult to change though. Chip's front end looks like an Monza, missed the mark to me.

[@TheKiltedYaksman1]

I respect your work, but the front end restyle looks like a Renault Alpine, and the rear like something AMC would have done for the Javelin. Not your best effort. That said, I don't think the design of the DMC-12 is without fault. IMO, it is just about the most milquetoast iteration of the 60s and 70s "Atomic Doorstop" design aesthetic, and the powertrain is laughably weak.

[@mohsinshahidferdous7863]

I don't know much about cars, but I think the original DMC is one of the best-looking cars ever. It was just not the right time for it, and the only negative side was engine was severely underpowered just slam it a few inches and put a supercharger in it, and it's what it deserves to be.

[@canalgamesemais1923]

Que projeto incrível, parabéns, gosto muito dos seus projetos Chip, uma nova visão de um carro super emblemático, de volta para futuro é meu filme favorito, um carro tão marcante para trilogia, acredito ser difícil modificar um carro que está na memoria de milhares de pessoas, particularmente devo dizer, achei a frente parecido com chevrolet chevette 1987 aqui no Brasil, carro muito usado no drift atualmente, e a traseira lembra bastante o nissan 300zx.

[@AVC93]

He drew the car from 3 different angles in to one picture. Interesting

[@davidmccartney189]

Wow.. never seen him draw a car before...?

[@davidbailey533]

As it a wraparound concept drawing cant really tell what it reminds me of but I see at least 4 cars - front reminds me of an austin Ambassador (uk car ) side kinda has a Corvette/porsche 928 look and rear reminds me of a Ferrari testarossa basically looks a mess

[@scottimusgarrett15]

I'm seeing '80's Pininfarina with some Miura in it's ass, mixed with a bit of Mercury Merkur XR4TI in the front. That would've killed during that time period.

[@raymondsiri]

Not every design has to be about efficiency or fixing problems. This redesign killed what makes the DMC12 look different from other cars (e.g. the boxy 80’s corolla-like front and the grid-like rear lights). It now looks like a silver 1985 Camaro IROC-Z.

"iT wAs DaTeD wHeN iT cAmE oUt"- designer of the Plymouth Prowler.

[@atgraham]

Having owned & driven a Delorean for 18 years, I can tell that he hasn't used them much. For starters, his design would have reduced visibility even more than it was, which was abysmal. I think this design hurts the car more than it helps.

[@Jastor00]

I really enjoy these reimagining videos - I envision the conversation about the original designs was as spirited! I like the idea of unifying the rear cap, bottom sills, and front and I like the overall tail treatment (especially the tailpipes). The taillights are pretty iconic and I'd have a hard time changing them. I might have gone with a dimensional look to the taillight lenses to keep the grill effect and use the light and shadow to soften it a bit. The reorienting of the signals to thin strips at the bottom works, but I think stacking the reverse lights above is too much. The front is where I deviate. This looks like a Chrysler product from the 80s and not a good one. Maybe a Shadow or if you want to get European a Citroen BX and it's not a good look. I personally like the front "cap" and would've kept it. To keep some 80s-ness in it might have played with a full length grill on the front with retractible light covers a la Cougar or Alfa Romeo Montreal. This car needs the busyness of lines and grids to balance the clean stainless form of the rest of the car IMO. I wish I could render a car like Chip can, all things considered. I also enjoyed the experiment with the front/rear/profiles all in one sketch but not sure it helped sell the front end design!

[@dutchp9005]

hey, chip you have real talent when it comes to design but this drawing reminded me of the citroen gs camarque, a prototype of the citroen gs. your version of the delorean is nicer than the original. greetings from holland

Fascinating to watch him draw.. a true artist ! I'm liking the new rear end... on the front, sorry the original 4 head lights are iconic to me and immediately identify the original as a DeLorean, where this new front...is too main stream and does not have a unique character

[@savetommyrobinsonfreespeec7660]

Very nice up dated version! I think the black rubber stuff was an American necessity due to import laws, our British vehicles had to adorn horrible rubber bumpers. Just like the MGBs of the 1980s! This was apparently adopted for safety reasons! Although, if you ask me , I think American officials were worried our little sports cars we’re going to sell too well, so they had to make them look ugly! Even the E type got a rubber dress! 😂 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@bigflytrap]

Pretty unanimous, people don’t like this redesign. How dare you get rid of the iconic tail lights. Don’t mess with perfection.

Hey Chip, keeping in this theme of this car, how about playing with the Bricklin SV-1.

[@Paxmax]

Mid 80's Toyota Starlet Front + chopping at mid riff'+ '70 Challenger rear face = True! While it got a bit more apetizing generally it kind of lost it's charm? It's not negative or positive... it's too acceptable =o)

[@janmartens7954]

Love chips renditions, but sad to say that in this case it missed it. The iconic elements are completely gone. The only area the DeLorean could improve is the technical side, engine etc.. Well, just found one slight improvement, the taillights are nice, originals are iconic an to be left alone. The doorlines are perfect as they were, that also wouldn’t to be changed. But hey, not all drawing have to be perfect. It takes a lot of guts to take this challenge at all.... keep doing what you’re doing chip, you’re a-okay

[@Freebird67]

Front looks like a box mustang

[@RyoHazuki224]

That really hurts my brain to see both the front and the back of the car on one image. If you wanted to showcase the back, you could have maybe drawn just a 1/4 view of the back as an inset in the corner maybe?
