The DeLorean will rise officially from the ashes at Pebble Beach… as an EV

Its name may belong to the past, but the new DeLorean is going to look to the future, and it will be presented towards the end of the summer as part of the activities surrounding the Monterey Car Week, which includes the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

The original model was quite the attraction in its own right during its short lifespan, but its place in history was probably ensured by its star turn in the Back to the Future movie trilogy. The DeLorean was only on the market for three years (1981-1983), but it became immortal thanks to Christopher Lloyd’s Doc.

The model featured styling that was decidedly avant-garde style for its time, including stainless steel panels and gullwing doors.

What many folks might not know is that when the company behind it was forced to close its doors, an impressive stock of parts was left behind. Enough to assemble hundreds of models, in fact. In 1995, a new company named DeLorean was born, and it got its hands on that stock of parts. The firm also set about acquiring existing models and their components where it could find them, and were even able to offer service to DeLorean car owners.
