Iconic car of the trilogy Back to the futurethe famous DeLorean rises from its ashes to the delight of fans of the adventures of Marty McFly and the Doc.
mythical car
The DeLorean Motor Company’s DMC-12 is so cult that it inspired a documentary on Netflix focusing on the journey of its creator John DeLorean, an electro-pop concept album, has been recreated by Playmobil, but also by LEGO, since a set should land for April 2022. Last year, for his 40th birthday, a designer fan of Back to the future had imagined a 2020 version of the famous car.
But a project seems even more serious would be in the papers of the Texas firm, which owns the rights to the brand. Make the DMC-12 a vehicle of the future, and electric. If this project is not new and has been the subject of many internal discussions, it would be about to be finally finalized. A recent announcement via a short teaser posted on the Internet proves it.
The Future was never promised. Reimagine today.
Sign up for the premiere of the DeLorean in 2022.

electric and luxurious
This contains a mysterious trailer of about fifteen seconds, where we can see the characteristic doors that have made the brand famous, followed by the name of the brand. On the textual side, the tweet drops this: “The future was never promised. reimagine today“.
Moreover, the presence of the hashtag #Luxury suggests that the model will be high-end. Another version of the video, published on the account of the Italian design firm Italdesign, responsible for the inimitable lines of the original DMC-12 could be analyzed, and confirms that it would be a luxury model.
in the footsteps of tesla?
Electric cars have never been as popular as they are today. This is partly due to Tesla cars marketed by the firm run by billionaire Elon Musk. If they are not yet completely autonomous, despite the recent promises of the tech guru, the Tesla must revolutionize the market in the medium and long term, and inspire the automotive market.
If they don’t plan to look like Elon Musk’s hyperconnected car, we wonder what this DeLorean of the future will look like, and whether or not it will break free from the iconic 1981 model. Anyway, it is indeed a true return to the future.
