Junkman Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Some cokie sniffing could still be involved, though. Those guys in Texas, who have been hoarding all the De Lorean spares since the 90s, are making use of some recently introduced regulationthat allows them to build a batch of brand new De Loreans.

Felly Magic Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I wonder what power plant they will fit? If they fit a V8 donkey, so much as breathing on the brakes will cause it to swap ends pshome 1
pshome Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 From what i have read, they still have plenty of PRV lumps in stock. Who knows, with a bit of tinkering they may make them pass current regulations. The DeLorean PRV was already the second generation 2849 cm³ PRV with K-Jetronic. To meet US emission standards it came with catalysator and gave only miserable 132hp and it took pathetic 10.5 sec for 0 to 60 mph (big square Tagora SX box does that in 7,9). They should have asked Talbot to get the engine right for them, car might have been a success with a proper 200+ hp motor.
Junkman Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 Read the article. They will be using an emissions certified crate engine. Currently only a V8 is certified, hence they are waiting for a V6 to become available in March.The reverse logic is, that they cannot use the PRV in freshly built cars, because of The Environment. pshome 1
Skizzer Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Good, I think. I like DeLoreans, at least to look at. But as someone who has spent too much of today washing a set of 20-spoke alloys (badly), those wheels - although pretty - mean I'm out. inconsistant, pshome and Junkman 3

TagoraSX Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Some interesting DMC FACTS. August Lapple GMBH produced the stainless panels for the DeLorean in Co. Carlow, Ireland. http://www.delorean.ie/lapple.html After it all went tits up, some of the tooling presses were used as weights on a fish farm in Kilkieran Bay, Co. Galway. http://www.seanlynchinfo.com/DeLoreanProgressReport.htm Lacquer Peel 1

HH-R Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I'm sure this happened a few years back, with an electric or hybrid power plant? I remember commenting on the article from The Register on Macdroitwich that it still used the BL parts bin stalks and was therefore acceptable.

Junkman Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 Another future that never was has made a comeback. This Tucker was assembled from original parts left over when the company folded in 1950.It's likely the last one. Now there isn't a full set of parts left to make another complete car. This one is going to hit the auction block, so the wealthier shiters among us should start queuing.
