New DeLoreans are still available, straight from the factory

The original DeLorean factory in Northern Ireland may be long gone but you can still buy a factory fresh example of the most iconic gull-winged doored car of all time. Carfection went to Houston to find out more.

Tell us about your vast knowledge after the buzz from the Coors light wears off. The car in the movie, Back to the Future, was supposed to be very high tech. To drive a De Korean that is quiet, very fast and futuristic would suit the movie that made the car renowned the world over. The electric motor would accomplish that.

I have been aware of your company for quite a while now, but this is the first time I have seen this film, which is brilliant. I live in Belfast about 1 mile from the original factory site and can tell you that John Delorean was a much loved and respected man in this part of the world. I first saw the car as young child at the Belfast Motorshowin the early 1980s and was blown away by it. It's so great to see that you have embraced all that was great about DeLorean and are keeping this very special car alive, so thank you from a fan in Belfast.

That's like before the 60's where there were almost zero regulations with automobiles. As time progressed new emission laws started to popup, and a lot of engines in this time frame were heavily restricted to meet those standards. Took a bit to create engines that made decent performance at these standards.

[@hzzlrp10]

DMC Houston's website goes in to further detail. It looks like it was regulation rather than lack of parts or interest that stopped new production. The EPA requires newly manufactured cars to meet the emissions standards in effect when the car was built, regardless of the age of the design. This means that a new DeLorean must meet 21st century emissions standards. The junky engine the DeLorean originally came with and DMC has on hand does not meet current regulations. As of 2017 DMC was trying to source new engines that would pass muster.

[@trigger5.563]

What a time capsule. A true back to the Future factory

[@MrXeleris1]

That's awesome, I'm glad to hear that these cars will be able to live on for years and years to come

[@KrychuTIR]

I want one!

[@straksparty3425]

KrychuTIR its a shit car

[@SkaterOrnez]

StraksParty it doesnt matter lol

[@cody1212143]

KrychuTIR probably get them cheap now,if you don't mind flood damage. lol

[@beigecomputerclassics6576]

Yeah everyone does... i guess

[@the_yoyo_king2860]

KrychuTIR who doesn’t

[@merpius]

Should source aluminum LS engines to put in these things; not like a Vette version, but more middle of the road V8; put a reasonable transmission/gearbox and make brake/suspension adjustments as necessary and those things would be freaking awesome. 88 mph would then be well within reach!

[@fobbitoperator3620]

Nah man, it needs a Voodoo, or a blown Coyote engine!

[@jameswalker199]

Apparently the engine was restricted for the US market, so you could just not do that.

[@InHerMajestiesDefense]

merp ius nah, i’d say turbo the renault prv v6 to make 400hp at least. and strengthen the rollcage as it is a unsafe car.

[@tarrickconrad4665]

I just bought one from this company, imma tell you guys I'm super happy to be apart of this car

[@rockslime]

Oh yeah I want one now. I wonder how much they want.

[@dxfan45]

Seen a report last year , that they wanted $110,000 for each one sold

[@rockslime]

Dam that's to much.

[@1o98765rtg]

+Yunaton F Langhirt a delorean will cost you around 20 25 thousand to 32 35 45 as well an even as low as 12 15 but i have never seen one for 110,000 like with all the back to the future time machine junk on it they sell for around 110,000 to 85

[@dxfan45]

Well maybe a "second" hand delorean will cost about 20-50k but I seen the video on youtube on how someone bought a whole warehouse full of original/new delorean parts so the buyer tried to revive the delorean and was reportedly wanting 100k for each new delorean put together

[@Ramblin_DMC]

+Savage Life That's who this video is about. :)

[@BrainyCesarin1]

How i love this beauty on wheels!!!. It makes me "Back in Time" once more!!!.

[@krzysztofrzadkiewicz5072]

Wow!!! 💪🏻👍🏻🔥 Amazing repair shop!!! Good Luck DMC Guys!!! Best Regards from Poland

[@pamelahayes6574]

Do you do tune ups any time possible literally I can be there last month

[@Blistio11]

3:28 painting this car should be a federal crime. shame.

[@zedex1226]

Krešimir Jurilj Looks like a wrap

[@mrmaniac3]

It could be a remanufactured car, but anyway, I know how you feel It's like painting over chrome bumpers and trim. Those things were dipped in a toxic chemical bath that shouldn't be used more than it has to be, what a shame.

[@AnarchyDragon6]

To each his own...I think they look cool and unique when they're painted. I once saw a gold one in a magazine and thought it looked awesome...

[@votaveri]

AnarchyDragon6 They made like 3 that where gold plated, not gold painted

[@AnarchyDragon6]

Actually I saw the gold plated ones too. They were shiny. The painted one was different, like a matte gold finish with darker gold ring at the front...The article showed 3 different colors IIRC, Red, Blue, and Gold., or maybe they were mock ups. It was a long time ago.

[@Leamick]

Nice to see a fellow scouser doing well and keeping the brand alive.

[@onlyhuman9986]

If I bought a Delorean I’d only drive it from time to time

[@jdillon8360]

Nice one

[@skyforce95]

Wow good production Cnet! I thought it was a Verge video until i looked at the logo.

[@gregorytrane7828]

A smart enterprising entrepreneur would make a brand similar to these with updates, call it by another name, keep the gull wing doors and sell it at an affordable price and watch his company growing phenomenally.

[@heikopanzlaff3789]

that place is already taken by Miata

[@studio-flash]

Gregory Trane i agree

[@possiblepsychopath6459]

holy crap I need one now that I know they still make them

[@vynaslol]

pretty cool, knowing the history and all..truly back to the future

[@911gpd]

The back of that car looks like a starfighter

[@noseefood1943]

at 88mph, these deloreans will literally fall apart.

[@darrenparker4897]

If you install a Flux Capacitor, a Space-Time Continuum and give it some plutonium, it can bring you to 1955

Nah man thats just your parts getting sent to the past

[@DominikDoesGaming]

@@certifiedbruh2180 or just go to 3055 to get better time travelers. Problem soloved

[@therainenetwork3510]

Thats some serious shit.

[@XBLGR]

one of, if not, the most aesthetically pleasing car i've ever seen.

[@sonofyou9086]

I would so be that guy yelling hey Marty at you while you're on the road haha.

[@lefunk22]

The engine is called the PRV V6. Which stands for 'Peugeot / Renault / Volvo'. It was a joint project between all three car companies, and was first used by all three brands in various models from '75 or '76 onward. The PRV V6 has also been used in lots of other cars, mainly sports coupes, (inlcuding the DeLorean, of course) by other much smaller brands over the decades. Sometimes with a turbo, sometimes even with a twin turbo, (which Renault did on its own Renault 25 Biturbo and then the later Renault Safrane Biturbo in the '90s). While one of the more memorable sports coupes/brands that's used it was the Alpine brand rear-engined fibreglass-bodied coupes, (sometimes referred to as the 'Renault Alpine'. Arguably the closest French equivalent to a Lotus but with the engine layout of a Porsche 911) which finally got the engine as standard from about '84 through to the mid '90s, with the option of turbo. *[Side-note: after about a 20 year absence, Alpine has been recently revived as a brand - but has changed to a mid-engined layout, no more 'plus 2' rear seats, more compact size, and a smaller but boosted engine. Aimed to compete with the Porsche Cayman, Alfa Romeo 4C, Lotus Elise, etc). While due to Peugeot buying out Citroen in around '76, Citroen also got the PRV V6, eventually, in the top spec models of it's upper size cars, (starting with the XM from '89, then the Xantia, C5, C6, etc). The DeLorean really needed a turbo, (or supercharger) as either standard or option right from the start. Due in no small part to its heavy stainless steel body, (but at least that keeps the body panels rust-free!!!). It's crazy they don't now offer the option of an upgraded DeLorean, (as suggested above) with the performance it should have to go with the looks, rather than just selling it 'as it was' when new way back in the early '80s.

[@mocmedia6179]

Awesome info, I learned something new!

[@RRareGaming]

WTH

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: Factory Trained Volvo Technician; that was the worst engine Volvo ever offered. I am sure that adding a turbo would make it even less reliable. Uneven firing, noisey, 170 cubic inches of leaks, bad cams, blown head gaskets and bad timing chains held together by tiny corroded bolts. . Maybe ok for a collector, or a trailer queen, not something you would want to take on Holiday.

[@PoliticallyIncorrectBronto]

Most beautiful car, crappiest engine.

We can rebuild her faster stronger better... she has been in cryostasis... it is time... (dramatic music) with the power of the internet, we can do it! [I am serious]

[@liamslayout2726]

Politically Incorrect Brontosaurus but it's a bloody time machine

[@os7349]

All you need to hit is 88mph & you could change the world.

[@cameraman655]

I drove one back in 82, it was a dog. That lousy 'froggy' Peugeot engine ruined the potential of this beautiful car

[@largol33t1]

actually, it was "cannibalized" with parts from Peugeot, Volvo AND Renault engines. I've heard of owners saying they needed three separate Chilton's manuals for long-term maintenance! It's so troublesome that a few have yanked it and put in a V6 or in some rare cases, a small block V8!

[@orenji-ov2yq]

i really hope they would make a modern version of this car

[@jdmbeats]

If you've never seen one in real life, you just can't know how cool this car really is.

[@scottyd8]

When I was 11 years old I saw one at a car show. 1981

[@JammyCreamer]

this car is beautiful !

[@worldpeace2073]

Driving this listening to back to the Future sound track

[@blobjrghf]

It would be cool to see deloreans customized to year specific auto trends, like slammed with crazy camber, or thousand dollar pain jobs with custom interior, all lined up as if they actually time traveled.
