After several teasers Indeed, the DeLorean brand is officially back and ready to head back to the future. This time though all-electric, with the surname Alpha5 and with a remarkably low drag coefficient of just 0,23. Based on the predecessor, the legendary DMC-12, the new interpretation is also a slim one Coupe with gullwing doors and designed by Italdesign. The Alpha5 shows itself with large Rims and extremely narrow Lighting front and back. There is a curved one for this Body with a two-tone Painting, which features a roofline not dissimilar to that of the DMC-12. Also the tail lights with the three horizontal lines or the black ones slats at the rear are reminiscent of the DMC-12. All in all, that was it. And the drive? It's still partly unknown. In contrast to the V6 petrol engine from the Peugeot-Renault-Volvo shelf, it is clear that the Alpha5 has one Electric drive and should with it in 3,4 seconds can accelerate to 60 mph (96 km/h) and an electronically limited top speed from 150 mph (241 to 250 km/h).
Range: over 483 kilometers
- possibly the first car on the flexible EVX electric car platform from Italdesign and Williams Advanced Engineering
- Possibly with a battery fitted into a carbon fiber tub (up to 160 kilowatt hours)
- the platform could be 40 percent lighter than conventional electric car chassis
The engine is fed apparently from a Battery with a capacity of more than 100 kWh, which has an EPA reach of more than 483 kilometers could enable. In addition, he seems about electric all wheel drive and at least two electric motors to dispose. And what awaits the interested party in the cabin? There's even enough room for two individual seats in the rear and there are hardly any familiar, conventional operating elements left. The Alpha5 relies on one instead Touchscreen, which is integrated into the center console. In addition, there is a large fully digital instrument cluster and a flat bottom Steering wheel. There is also access to the rear seats and the front seats via a huge one each Double door per side and the fact that there is one B-pillar does not exist. Incidentally, the key drive data mentioned above refer to the "basic performance model". So this suggests that an even hotter version is yet to come.
he's gotten a lot bigger
With a length of 4.995 millimeters, a width of 2.044 millimeters and a height of 1.370 millimeters with the wing doors closed, the dimensions are of course no longer the same as those of the DMC-12 (length: 4216 mm, width: 1857 mm, height: 1140 mm). to compare. By the way, only to be built 88 vehicles and there should even be another V8 sports coupe follow. The 88 is of course familiar for a fan of the films "Back to the Future". Because at this speed in miles (88 mph is about 140 km/h), the DeLorean in the film was ready for the time jump. Also from an extended product range with electric sedan as well as with one hydrogen powered SUV is the talk. Next to James Bond's Aston Martin, the most famous film car has always been the DeLorean DMC. And now it's finally being relaunched - as an electric sports car. Why not? So you can be curious.
