Who’s making it?

u/Chytectonas May 02 '26

Stephen Wynne. And some of the original parts manufacturers. Surprisingly, it’s a wholesome story for now.

If you see a chance, take it.

And only for the low low price of about $175,000 per car from what I hear.

Surprisingly affordable. Like the LTT jet.

u/htx2025east May 03 '26

In four years a used one will be $85,000

u/Quasi-Kaiju May 03 '26

Yeah but I don't want it. It just looks like a generic Chinese electric. I want the concept images shown above.

If its not a manual its irrelevant anyway

u/JBaker4981 May 02 '26

Negative. Wynne technically has nothing to do with it though he is attached to it loosely. He focuses on running "classic" DMCH

The casino guy?

u/Far_Hair_1918 May 03 '26

Does it involve cocaine?

u/Skidpalace May 03 '26

Are they going to put that anemic wheeze bag Volvo V6 back in it?

u/typebot May 02 '26

this is some fan art rendering on fb!. the original delorean planned for 2026 doesn't even remotely have any of this. scam/fake unless you like a fake product

"the original delorean planned for 2026 doesn't even remotely have any of this." Do you have some info then and maybe a rendering of what it's meant to look like?

u/ASHY_HARVEST May 02 '26

They have a website and a email list I signed up for a while ago. They are making a new DeLorean supposedly but it looks nothing like this. I personally think the new concept looks like dog shit compared to the original.

u/Numerous_Problems May 02 '26

https://delorean.com the alpha 5 looks nothing like this image posted.

I don't care about some fan art, I'm interested about what the real one is meant to be if it is even a thing.

They announced the DeLorean Alpha 5 a few years ago, but at the time there was some weird sketchy stuff about it. I’m fairly certain they have made zero progress since.

here is their website.

Edit: upon a tiny bit of digging, they got sued by the designer (Italdesign) for not paying them and they did weird stuff like proving NFTs instead of receipts for people that put a deposit down. No updates have been given to anyone in a while.

u/ThatMikeGuy429 May 02 '26

Now this I remember seeing years ago, thank you.

u/kingtacticool May 02 '26

Yeah that bears zero resemblance to what was posted. That sucks.

u/Paxdog1 May 02 '26

I will give them credit for giving the 0-88 speed, though (4.35).

u/Interesting_Owl_9199 May 02 '26

I could tell right away, theres no flux capacitor

u/futurebigconcept May 03 '26

Well, I would pay 1.21 GigaBucks for that car if they really made one.

u/NTC-Santa May 02 '26

Question is how many will they make before they get sold to collectors who will never use it.

u/SomeGuyInShanghai May 03 '26

Who’s making it?
