Have you preordered your 2017 DeLorean?

>>17566168
So it'll be basically a Brad new replica? Why the fuck am I going to preorder something we know nothing about?

Is it a new model or the old model or the old model remastered (not reworked)?

>>17566186
What's been modified on that one? It looks sick

>>17566186
Why did they have to fuck up the front? was it not numale enough that they had to squish the face to give it some sense of "current year" styling? fuck!.

does it use the same powerplant
>actually wanting to pay 100 grand for barely 3 digits of horsepower

>>17566189
They might be using old parts left over from the 80's but they should have the equipment to start making new parts as well. A law was passed where they can make 250 new cars a year.

>>17566194
over 50% original parts

300-400 HP expected

>While GM is an engine option, they’re not the only ones. They’re looking at three possible suppliers, two domestic, one foreign. There’s one favorite though, and the engine that’s the frontrunner is a normally-aspirated V6 making between 300-400 HP. This seems to be the non-American company, and while the company wouldn’t comment, it may well be Japanese. It may be Toyota, but that’s just a guess.

Nope. Because of the movie's popularity no one gets this any more, but the joke in the first movie was how weird a choice a Delorean was. Back in the '80s the company was known for the cocaine scandal.

88mph was also a joke, given the shitty power the original put out

>>17566766
Stainless steel is pretty cool desu
No paint job necessary

They sold remade DeLoreans until like 2012. Pretty sure they had the same engine though

>>17566793
Same engine, but it has been upgraded since 2008
>DMC is also offering an upgrade to the engine that includes new stainless steel headers, muffler and tips, ignition system upgrades, a K&N filter, a cold air intake and other parts. The combination results in nearly 200 HP, making it perform at a level that'll allow daily drivers to survive on the highway. A refined sports suspension, featuring new shocks and springs, also helps keep the cars comfortable and sporty.

>>17566205
>They might be using old parts left over from the 80's
I recently saw a video where they have tons of new parts for assembly.

>>17566826
They still have original stock from the 1980s, thousands of doors for instance
Only few parts have become extinct, like the left front fenders. Those are being reproduced now

>>17566362
It won't be an LS. They're looking at V6's.
So far, the confirmed engines that DeLorean is looking at are:
LGX (GM 3.6L. ~335 HP)
2GR-FSE (Toyota, ~300 HP)

Considering it sounds like a VQ, my money is on the GM engine. The LGX and the VQ share very similar designs, using the same V angle, same DOHC, 4 valve per cylinder layout, and the same firing order.
Said firing order, btw, is 1-2-3-4-5-6.

For the price though I think I would go for a Morgan 3 Wheeler. Less performance and less "bang" for your buck but it is more of a head turner.

re less ;ole;y to fuck up a push button transmission. And it is a wonderfully retro feature.
late 50's Chryslers were famous for it.

>>17567063
Normally the EPA and NHTSA require that a manufacturer provided a certain number of vehicles from safety and emissions testing. This is a significant hurdle for low-volume production. A few years back a law got passed which creates a specific category for low volume, allowing them an alternate path to certification for sale for models with fewer than 350 produced per year.

Why do you need a huge lever for an automatic transmission? To pretend that you're actually in control of your car?

>>17569307
It's nice to have a physical level directly connected to a transmission over an electronic dial. Same reason why people prefer physical ratcheting handbrakes over a button you push.
