MotorWeek Over The Edge: The Return Of The DeLorean

MotorWeek Over The Edge: The Return Of The DeLorean

[@39Hundred]

The amazing thing about this car is that the very few times I've actually seen one on the road, it actually turns more heads than a porsche and even a ferrari.

[@LiquidFriction]

i use to live literally 2 miles from this DMC shop they show. The owners are really cool guys, they really do have a true passion for the cars and gave me a full tour of the building.

[@dschiefer92]

It's great to hear that the DeLorean is being revived. Awesome car.

[@EJFSanchez2]

I love the DeLorean, I drove 2 of them. And driving one of these cars will give you lots of attention. Plus people always seem to smile when they see it.

[@Finalflash50]

The delorean is truly the most amazing car in the universe. 4 feet tall, perfect shape and amazing look.

[@slowmonkey156]

THE coolest car of all time. I fully intend on owning one at some point in my life. I know a lot of people complain about this car and say all sorts of crap about it, but I don't care. This car's cool-factor is all that matters to me.

[@BrainyCesarin1]

How i love this beauty on wheels

[@caseycurran]

I actually saw one of these on the road the other day. Never would have thought back in the 80's that the first time I'd see one on a public road would be in 2011.

[@creepingnet]

Ya know, I liked the DeLorean initially through BTTF - but I think it's really time to settle down the BTTF references all the bloody time when it comes to these cars. There's more to the car than the movies.

[@silverwings11035]

creepingnet now that's something I definitely would love to see because I have 82 DeLorean that I restored and I carry no Back to the Future memorabilia in the car whatsoever as I love the car and the company more than the movie and a lot of the back to the future references do get old

[@blue_eyes_wander3901]

Had they not used the Delorean in the movies tho it would be a forgotten car.

[@kayEnt3rtainm3nt]

@@blue_eyes_wander3901 You're right. I think that's why so few people know about the Bricklin SV-1. Roughly the same story of the car's birth and death but no classic movies to make a legend of the machine.

[@nealnc07]

Back to the Future did give this car the life it deserved. I would love to own one. I think they are the coolest cars, and now that retro is on everyones mind again, maybe we will start seeing more of these silver beauties.

[@TennesseeAnderson]

It was a good documentary I watched on TV once and I loved it. Well I do love the Delorean a lot!

[@leifholdenvideos]

I'm saving up my money for a DMC 12

[@JisINSANE3]

keep it up man, Keep the rare classics alive.

[@MotorblogofSweden]

+MrJoockaJocka it took me 28 years! now im a happyowner ;)

[@theswagger7231]

Good luck!

[@clark2179]

MrJoockaJocka did you get it yet

[@johndelorean7353]

did you buy it?

[@nathanadkins9374]

The flux capacitor guy has no chill

[@malcolmar]

I'm going to buy one of those Deloreans with a stage 3 engine, 5 speed manual and a corrected suspension. A dream come true. After a lot of convincing, my wife is on board. That was the hard part, now it is just a matter of coming up with the money...wait a minute... I guess the hard part is not over yet, but mark my words, I will have a Delorean :) Thanks for keeping the dream alive!

[@jeffreymurphy5957]

I've loved DeLorean ever since I saw back to the future, not only for the time traveling abiltys (lol) but the style and sleekness of the car it is good thing their legacy was carried on by DeLorean performance industries

[@LRS905]

Isn´t it ironic that the DeLorean is making a "comeback from the past"? ;.) eh, eh? Get it...yes?...no? :-(

[@checksandbalences]

I would love to see this company flourish. 10 years down the road might have a brand new delorean along with the original. Ill be waiting on the ad to the revived delorean company announcing its models. Go delorean!

[@SMVvids]

Saw one in person today for the first time!!

[@Mr_Chris__]

Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?!

[@Zerginfantry]

4:11 I see a black one!

[@coldflorida]

4:11

[@g8spikyhair]

Good job for these guys!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Saw one of these in a high school car show a few weeks back. I've been told they had two of these cars there but I only saw one. Nice people save these.

[@hldx9]

Love the scene from The Wedding Singer, where Glen pulls up in the DeLorean blasting the Miami Vice theme XD

[@luckytube54]

Good job Steve! Welcome back to Maryland.

[@fruitloops781]

love deloreans i wanna get one when i learn how to drive it would be fun having a bttf version and going 88mph and the special lights were on

[@nikemac84]

I've always LOVED the DMC-12 exterior design>>>>>>There's somethin' about those wheels that perfectly matched the body's styling............

[@chubikingston980]

I support him the Delorean is my dream car it's sexy as hell while looking old you just can't describe how awesome the car looks like

[@jammer96]

I've been working on it. It's his baby though. He's had it for 20 years and has been the only person that's maintained it during that time. He just bought another one for special events with 3k miles, all original. If he ever sells his turbo car and I have the money, I'll buy it from him then! There is a video of it on my webpage.

[@moterdude1959]

I am so into that car I hope I own one one day. I love the way they LOOK :)

[@timgrimes7684]

Where can I find more info on that? I heard about the electric ones and everything, but don't see anything on their site. Thanks

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

Been saving since I was a kid, almost there!

[@deloreanstuff]

Excellent!

[@RandomShow585]

Do the new ones still have the 2.8 V6 Turbo?

[@87ferrarif40]

Awesome company! Keep Delorean alive!!!!

[@SimbaTheGreat]

the faclility in houston is a factory lol ive been to it. i live in dallas. and with them only buliding such a small number of cars each year mean that when they run out of parts there will be at least a total of 10k + new deloreans out there,

[@steve39000]

I miss my Delorean, In 2000 I had it for about a year sold it for £13,000, The only thing I have left is my old paperwork ,tax disc, car mats, and work shop books. I only sold it because I was being a dad of two.

[@Agrothewarhorse]

man, so if i buy one...is there an option for a flux capacitor?

[@cookervillpop101]

are they still in production???

[@Kahnklingon84]

John Davis! Glad he kept going this long! Am I the only guy that thought RCR other guy was talking?

[@budojon]

the black delorean at the end looked also cool !

[@tqsuited]

if its not stainless steel, i dont like it. Just ruins it really.

[@budojon]

+G Warner well if you dont use proper primer, you can peal off the paint for sure.

[@sweettooth80]

where can i get one?

[@bs119]

so when can i buy one?

[@StvMcQueen1]

Great Scott!

[@jammer96]

DMC offers a Stage 2 performance upgrade with 80 more horsepower that the standard engine. They change the camshafts, heads, and exhaust system. Performance is around 6.5 seconds with the 5 speed and 7.5 seconds with the automatic.

[@penguinmaster7]

ok, so, how do i get one?

[@jammer96]

@FliegendesGeheimnis Not really. The doors go straight up, but they are angled slightly on the ends so they don't touch another car next to you. The doors only require 14 inches of clearance.

[@leloodallasmultipass]

@KenMacMillan that put put put really makes it sound like a supercar.

[@thumasta666]

are they only reproducing them as long as the NOS parts are still there? or did they start producing new parts?

[@shananagans5]

@1991JeepMan They originally came with a gutless v6. It was something like a 2.8 liter. Not sure on the exact size but I am positive it was a fairly small v6.

[@rodrigostoteles]

From Chile, in a few weeks I go to EE.UU to buy one!!!! yeahhH!!!

[@marioiacolucci]

They also have a special edition gold also

[@jammer96]

Hopefully it won't rise anytime soon, so I can get one! I'm glad they are finally appreciated more than they were a few years ago.

[@Comrick317]

Cool, i want one in purple.

[@Totemparadox]

Moving to america in 4-5 years. I hope they still have couple left so i could buy one.

[@nimaside]

It only weighed about 2800 pounds. How much lighter do you need it?

[@BlackTransAmdude]

one day man I'm gonna have this car and it's gonna be restored and in perfect condition.

[@jammer96]

There is a performance upgrade available for the Delorean engine from DMC Houston. No turbos are used. They use different cams,different heads, and dual stainless exhaust. It adds 70 more horsepower over the stock engine.

[@jariusfoster2083]

Bringing it to 200HP. If i could get one,i would definitely get that upgrade

[@minibus1351]

@steamingpoopfart well, the Deloreans in the market today have a lot of variety. Some of them have been thrashed about in the past years but there are others which are well maintained. Considering that they are well cared for, it is well suited for a daily driver. I personally don't own one but know a friend who actually uses it almost everyday. There are many 80s cars today on the roads today, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. Regular maintainance should be a must like most cars today.

[@siamiam]

id love to see the original motorweek video of the delorean

[@Sirvalorsax]

I would love to see the Fisker Karma as the new Doc Brown mobile!!

[@t850terminator]

Plus the time traveling thing XD

[@TennesseeAnderson]

that is so cool is it cool that they are coming back

[@jayocular]

@rustipup18 they fix or restore the old ones with the new or i should say never used parts from the original factory and yes they do put their own cars together as well so it is pretty much a new old car

[@Baconishealthy]

There's no back window?

[@redhead5150]

Ace Frehley had alot of fun in his DeLoren!!!!

[@Misfit559]

What's the top speed of a delorean O.o ...?

[@TitanicMasta]

Will Deorean still be around in 2014? I want a DeLoean To be my first car when i turn 16

[@dvddmc]

Yep Still going strong and making New Deloreans with NOS parts and they have a New Electric Delorean for sale now too

[@andiders]

@miatageekscott why not an bugatti V16 engine? or koenigsegg CCXR V8 ethanol engine?

[@chicorompecabesa]

Its this bulletproof?

[@TymphaRedbreaduwuowo]

i just say one there pretty awesome!

[@grenade350]

I'm SO glad this happened. They should do this with Gen 3 Camaros too lol And the last-generation G-Body Monte Carlo or Buick Regal Grand National

[@KeiranCounsellKC1994]

when im older... i want a delorean

[@bizarreness]

Your 8 years older!

[@KeiranCounsellKC1994]

@@bizarreness still not old enough or with enough money to afford one sadly xD

[@bizarreness]

@@KeiranCounsellKC1994 that’s sad

[@silvereagle2061]

So what are they called 1985 Delorean or 2009 Delorean?

[@JustWickedSwede]

This car is epic!

[@Casper48022]

I'm going to buy one, one day.

[@knytrydr73]

there's also a facility in Florida

[@LRS905]

"We´re out of flux capacitoooors!" that was so cheesy and lame...

ikr

[@BSAElectronics2014]

RL R -I know, I was thinking, where did they get this tool?

[@wickedhouston5538]

he said it like a 3 year old girl

[@KylePantano]

Sweet!

[@Rocketryman]

I hope one day I can have one. More then any car I would love to have Delorean. Could of had one for 20k a few years back. Couldn't afford it. Maybe in my next life.

[@kikonaut5970]

I hope by the time I'm old enough to buy these cars, they would still be around in good condition

[@VF1Skullangel]

Will they ever run out of parts?

[@theoparke]

So, road test one. Let's see how it does and how much it costs.

[@jcarcobaltss]

The engine they are putting in these DMC are now twin turbo V6s I would love to own one!

[@jariusfoster2083]

Really?i would like to see that

[@coolbluelights]

@Reynard13Fuchs that's a lot less than I would have thought.. I WANT ONE!!!

[@miatageekscott]

@andiders Yeah, but you would need a completely new suspension to handle that power. Not to mention tires and the fabrication necessary to accept such a large engine such as the V16. With an LS1 you would get noticeable performance gains without having to do anything too crazy to the car, PLUS it would be a heck of a lot cheaper as well

[@GIjoe7793]

You just need to check the website. the base model is 57K already. add some options and you'll be way over 60K. A used delorean, in decent condition is around 25-30K.

[@hawaii5084]

Wouldn’t be great if anyone out there that has a gift in transforming a delorean supercharged to beat supercars such as a Ferrari or what not that’ll be amazing. This car has great potential.

[@johnton923]

u know even after vack to the future the delorean was still very popular on TV shows i know ive seen deloreans on many diffrent things like car town on facebook and American dad had a episode on it and more...

[@TheBillproject]

a movie about the DMC company rise and fall... that would be an epic movie. From what I heard... from what I read.. EPIC STORY

[@Robin6512]

Damn, I so want one

[@twistedyogert]

how much are they?

[@rustipup18]

are they making new ones or just fixing old ones

[@SimbaTheGreat]

yea they are but the frames and all other body panels and parts are still there that arent built

[@Misfit559]

@tonid what about mph O.o..,

[@alvilla701]

The only thing Ill change is the hp something about 280 hp and a better suspension. I love this car

[@joestradamus75]

yep! be fun to own one. They cost a lot though.

[@davidellis418]

this is like a fuckin spaceship on Wheels yo

[@owen75]

@TruthinessDotCom Louvers, I'm a car freak too lol

[@KieranNickStudios]

I want one soooo much
