As a Delorean owner myself I gotta agree, I don't like the back it seems like there's a bunch of stuff missing and for 300k I'll stick with the classic. I'd put the original wheels back on too.

In-hub-motors are cutting edge technology and probably a hefty part of the price. But they should make for great packaging in this chassis.

@christophers707Ай бұрын
Not for performance you want as little weight in the wheels as possible. Hub motors are to save money and space.
@Skylancer727Ай бұрын
Hub motors aren't cutting edge, they've been a thing since the 50s. The LeTourneau land train was going to use them all the way back then and many vehicles have since had them. The reasons these are rarely seen is more because the unsprung weight is really bad on suspension systems resulting in it breaking often and the fact packaging the motor in the wheel is just generally more expensive. That's really the reason we don't have cars with them. The idea has more made a resurgence recently because of the idea using hub motors frees up more space for even bigger batteries. Really the only benefits of hub motors are that they're slightly more efficient, they take up less space, and you can use vector torque control for better all wheel drive. Realistically the benefits are really minor though.

So far it sounds like over priced BS to me Todd! If there's anything legitimate here, they're lucky to build even one! I kinda like the back, but it does need more of the delorean look. The tail lights for one are iconic too the car and need to be incorporated. I really don't think it's even getting of paper so to speak.

@DeLoreanTECH Recently I saw on the front page of the Google browser an electric auto conversion company in the UK called "Electrogenic" & their kit is *I think a single motor w/ 150 mi range. Under 5 sec to 60, battery in the fronk & up next to the firewall in the back. It's a lot less expensive but, it's in the UK. I'm a customer/client of Steve here in Houston. He & James have been promising for a decade + EFI w/ throttle by wire, cruise control & easy adjustment for turbos & whatever else but I'm still waiting. I want to go faster ICE or electric & I'm not LS-ing anything. This being in Austin is easy for me but at that price, no rolling example & this being announced days after Electrogenic makes their conversion available has me seriously questioning this company's endeavor. I don't think I'd hand over my keys just yet. Thanks for the response & bringing this to my attention. I may pay them a visit soon since they're up the rd (2 hours away). God bless the DMC-12!!

Very niche market even for a Delorean. Most people with that money are buying Lambos or Ferraris. Not a very good business plan and I wonder if they studied their forecasts or market. I predict this idea will go bust unless you have strong demand and lower price entry points. #5945

Evs are the future says me a man who has worked with gas engine vehicles for almpst 20 years. Im not mad about it. i still like a v8, but why be upset about the future with amazing power and less maintenance. Lfp batteries have little to no fire risk compared to other batts. There are no apparent downsides to the present path to electrification in my view but i dont believe it should be mandated. I think it will be so compelling it wont need subsidization.

The front grill, looks OK, not as good as the original, the rear end of this car just looks like hot garbage though. It looks like it suffers from the same rear design (or lack thereof that a stock Polaris slingshot suffers from; it looks like the design team got burned out and just slapped something together on the back of the vehicle. Asking price of $300K? No, heck no, hard pass. That's way to expensive for a microwave on wheels with a hint of nostalgia. Needs an LS swap and a good 6-spd manual with the original front grill and rear end.
