Yes, so they'll be shit and they'll cost an arm and a leg - but I thought some on here might be interested to see this...

Back to the future as DeLorean goes electric

 

I wish I had £56k, but I bet that that date may have something to do with it.

Well spotted. Although it's still prominent on the BBC Business News website today...

Apparently true - this was in the news last autumn:

Partnering with Epic Electric Vehicles, the company developed the prototype DMC-12 that, according to an article at Reuters, has a range of 70 to 100 miles. A 125-horsepower electric motor drives the wheels to a top speed of 125 mph, well above the 88 mph needed to travel through time.

 

You don't want to get stuck in the 1500's with no way to recharge your battery though...

Wow, that's.................

 

Utterly pointless and shit, and with a crap range. What a great deal.

Who cares about price and range? It's only gonna be bought by rich wankers as a toy anyway, just like Tesla.
