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.
Indeed! Can’t wait to see some drawings…!
Agree
Not for performance you want as little weight in the wheels as possible. Hub motors are to save money and space.
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.
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.
Lynx Motors is in Austin TX. Interesting.
Yeah very coincidental
Looks pretty good to me, and starting at only $299,500, I'll take two!
So now I know someone who is interested!!! lol
@@DeLoreanTECH 😄 We would be interested, but 299,500 minimum starting price before options, is a bridge too far. You could buy several fully restored ICE DeLoreans for that amount.
Dont like the front or the back. Just keep it original!
Same
@@DeLoreanTECH Same ! ^^
The front looks like more a trans am than a De Lorean.
The rear...errrr...meh...^^
All renderings.. no existing car. They also supposedly do an electric Ford GT. Feels like a cash grab on pre-purchases to me.
Possibly. Hopefully they get back to me soon with more deets!
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.
There's nothing about giving them your own & having it upgraded. I'd like to see also the exact layout of the motos, batterys, weight distribution & I've had electric power steering added to mine. What happens to that. Yes, it seems like we've been down this rd already.
Hopefully we can get that info out soon!
@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!!
I’m not sure how I feel about this
Starting at just under $300k. Getting head examined at an extra cost.
Seems cool, let’s how long they last until they get a C&D letter. Lol
Houston couldn’t do it themselves so It’ll be interesting to see how far this company gets.
Btw the Alpha looked NOTHING like a DeLorean, this IS a DeLorean just modified 👍🏼
Pretty sure they took notice but if it’s just customizing and selling existing cars would DMCH have any legal foundation? Look at DeLorean MidWest with their LS swaps
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
Good point. $300K would fetch a very nice exotic. Maybe if the 0-60 was 2 seconds lol
Who the hell wants an electric DMC..!?
I know a few owners in lovely California who would mainly because of the smog requirements here. It’s situational
Marty McFly? The gas powered Delorean in the movie had some problems starting its engine after all...
@@noppornwongrassamee8941 Maybe, but he didn't have to stop to recharge while fleeing from the terrorists ;-)
@@DeLoreanTECH Oh, I see. To be honest though, no one should live in California, anyway :-)
Now alll you have to do is hook Mr Fusion onto the rear deck..
That would be the ultimate upgrade!
For $300k, it should come with a lifetime warrant and a house to store it. DeLorean was a good looking car back in the 90s but not anymore.
Agreed!
But will it get up to 88.8 miles an hour without bursting into flames?
I vague recall seeing a show on a company that had a bunch of DeLorean body parts in a warehouse. Would that make it a real DeLorean? Of course you would have to come up with a new frame to put the panels on.
Yes that is most likely DMC Houston. You also need the VIN for the car. They have the frames and chassis. They could literally build a DeLorean from the gro7und up with the parts they have -- about 300 cars IIRC
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.
good points for the EV supporters. Time will tell!
ALRIGHT, BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 3... 🦾
So you mean because those look like train wheels???
We'll buy two 🤣
Wild!
Too long and the back end does look bad. Why the extra length ? Seems electrifying would require less .
The length is the same as a standard DeLorean so dependent on that dimension. It’s essentially a high end custom of a classic car.
Looks likeit's strongly Cybertruck based given the front.
I guess I don't see it...the front looks like it has a car bra to me!
@@DeLoreanTECH It's the vertical blank stainless steel with just a horizontal line of LEDs for headlights.
I think Tesla should buy the rights, and make this car, but with a Gigacast magnesium body and their Plaid powertrain technology. That would be Epic!
I agree. Maybe one day soon.
Nope - Deloreans have never been received well. Even now the collector community has been reluctant to be real enthusiastic. Although I have seen a slight surge in the originals
Vaporware
Scam
Not sure. I’ve seen advertising for it but anything is possible. We’ll uncover the facts soon enough
If you’re going to modify the exterior, just build a new body. Don’t chop an existing one up!
right but they haven't said a whole lot about their design and build approach, however your theory is most likely correct
But... will this electrical mod include a flux capacitor and a mini fusion reactor?
Let’s hope
Gee I don't know buy a DeLorean that someone is making in their backyard for $300,000 or wait for Tesla's roadster for $250,000 at least with Justice roadster you wait 10 years for it but you will get it. You know how many companies started making electric vehicles took a deposit and never produced anything?
Good point about the Tesla roadster being less expensive than this
This looks like a concept that does not exist yet. All CGI. Not even a mock up to show or drive! Sketchy at best. And long term likely another DeLorean with no service or parts other than scraps in 5-10 years. Other than a fun disposable toy for the rich...nope!
You raise some good points. They did state a guaranteed buy back program but what happens when or if the company folds? Unless the EV-exclusive parts are “universal” in nature and can be sourced from other parts supplier manufacturers, owners may be out of luck
I’ll take one but for half that please
Sounds about right
It's a Tesla with a DeLorean.
A Tesla with a DeLorean body.
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too expensive.
Looks like an AI scam.
We'll let you know when/if they respond back and get more info...but you might be right!
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.
Agree the price is a bit astronomical
The original delorean design is overrated. It's a very plain looking car objectively. It being in back to the future boosted its appeal. The other new delorean looks better than this and the old delorean. The one they showed off in concept form.
You are definitely in the minority on this but all opinions are welcome!
Ridiculous…
ok this is so ugly. Luv my original DeLorean.
as we just see a Rendering .... NOTHING to get excited about. It's just another Attention Seeking Clickbait for this Company. I will believe it, when the first one hits the Road. Otherwise.... Go ahead, make my day.
Yawn. Are we really going down this road again folks.
We are… 😵💫
Yes, Hell Yes❤️🦸 10:26
No thanks! EV sucks. Just leave it be.
