The DeLorean DMC-12 is one of the things that has become a cultural icon, famous not only due to it's movie roles, but also the crazy events that occurred with the company and founder. In this video we look past that and just experience the DeLorean as a sports car from the 80s. A review of the DeLorean just as a car, which in itself is quite a unique experience. A rear-engined sports car with a body of stainless steel, gullwing doors and plenty of other quirks and oddities, the DeLorean is unlike the cars I usually spend time with. This one has been fairly extensively modified in a unique way, with a gated manual transmission swapped in (Replacing the stock 3 speed automatic), Porsche sourced independent throttle botties, new seats, steering wheel, brake booster, suspension and much more! Make sure you check out the owner's Instagram for more details and watch the review where I got to drive it!

Just seen a whole documentary on John Delorean. Built in Ireland. Quality issues but employees said he was fantastic to work for. John lost everything and including his family. He had a vision though. Good video guys

[@taylor_made86]

He was a terrible businessman and ran the company into the ground by paying himself millions out of the company earnings. Because of him, all those poor factory workers in Northern Ireland lost their jobs and had to go back on unemployment benefit.

[@matthewhensley5165]

Did you know he was a victim of sting where to get the company started he tried to sell a large amount of cocaine but ended up selling it to an undercover FBI agent but chargers were dropped

OMG .. THAT car to die for. I"m currently watching Delorean on Netflix. The guy's amazing. 70's he was thinking about fuel efficiency and environment.

[@xTrinitrotoluen]

Big fuel crisis in those times... Minor people were thinking about owning a "sport car" back then due to the price of gas. That's why Delorean made decision to use a .. V6 (in fact V8 with chopped off 2 cylinders - firing pattern and 90 degrees of V8 construction is still present in this engine :)) Fun fact: one of engines considered by DeLorean to be used in DMC-12 was the Alfa Romeo 2.5 V6 'Busso' engine (12 valves version); shame that it didn't happen - DMC would sound and drive better than with PRV engine.

How much did your car cost when/if you bought it? I'm interested in buying one, I just wanted to know a good price.

[@VegasShuffle]

@@Vuzlaa mine was around 50,000. That’s the going rate today for a decent one. If you go up to 60,000 that will get you a very good Delorean. Now having said that you can still pick them up for around 40,000 but you will definitely need to do some work on the car.

[@Cheesehead302]

I know this video is a few years old, but I wanna say I think he hit the nail on the head when he said the appeals to non car people. I've never been one to be super interested in cars, from the time I found out about this car I have seen so many restorations, videos, and information on nearly every inch of it. Like a lot of car people are into super high powered ultra efficient cars, and (while I've become more interested in those over the last few years) the design and quirkiness of this car is still hands down my favorite of anything I've ever seen. It transcends the underpoweredness and questionable wiring set up by just looking so darn cool. Another appeal of it to me has always been something that I think "one day, when I've got a stable career I could be able to feasibly afford to buy and maintain/improve one of these cars with smart saving" which is staunchly different to popular "dream cars". I will say it is kinda breaking my heart though seeing them go from 20-25k for a nice one to like 55-60k, you know. Still maybe feasible in the right situation but the dream is inching further away because of that. Obviously that price is still nowhere near super car level pricing, but it is still an entire year's pay for a lot of people and it's only going to increase further in value. But I don't know, I'm still holding onto hope that I'll be in the position one day to achieve it, here's to hoping.

[@RunningInSuits]

Man... How I'd love to buy this particular DeLorean from you. I'd baby this thing until I'm old, then pass it on to my children

It’s a shame that the DeLorean didn’t partner up with Honda for their engines. They definitely would have been a knock out of the park!

[@danielhenderson8316]

The issue with that is Honda wasn't the Honda we knew in the late 70's. About the only company that could do what DeLorean was looking for at the time would be Porsche, and I'm not sure they'd help. What also sucks is the first turbo PRV engine came out right after the company folded in 1984.

[@GT-43]

[@jvaubry]

Unfortunately, once Chapman was sourced to engineer and manufacture the vehicle, the delorean was limited in its performance. There was no way Chapman was going to produce a competitors vehicle to outperform his own lotus vehicles, so it ended up with the 130hp Renault engine. The frame of the vehicle is just too soft in bending and torsion, so it is not stiff enough for any serious engine power or performance driving. Finally, the body is constructed of a plastic injection molded upper and lower structure that is bonded together with the stainless steel stamped panels bonded to that structure. The crashworthiness of this vehicle is not very good, as evidenced by a recorded barrier crash test of the vehicle which is also on KZbin. A real death trap on wheels, not very safe.

[@danielhenderson8316]

The engine wasn't a result of Chapman. It was the only one they could find for the money they had and passed US emissions test.

[@Jonathan-dq8hb]

Volvo heavily revised the PRV6 fir the 780 , making it an even fire engine. Later , Citroën offered a 24V version in the XM .

One of the cheats I've seen on KZbin is buy an extra set of rear wheels and use them for fronts. You get a larger front tire, more room for bigger brakes, and still maintain the stock look with the DMC logo.
