Delorean - The Time Machine

We definetely can say that we are the big  part of the „Back To The Future“ generation. Who would not know amazing DeLorean DMC-12 or the October 21st, 2015? 80s was a culture that shaped our future that we curently live in. 

In its time, the DeLorean Motor Company was an epic falure, but it gained more fame over the years than any other vehicle of the 20th century. 

When Back to the Future was filmed in 1985, America was in the midst of a cultural shift. The computer world was coming alive. Apple introduced the concept of desktop computing. Nintendo realeased its first gaming system. And as well DeLorean`s increadible architecture and stainless steel body came to our world. 

„Doc“ (from character BTTF) transformed DeLorean from a stainless steel car into the iconic time machine and gave Marty McFly the confidence to „think different.“„She“ was the game changer. 

The DMC-12 ended up with an underpowered engine that made less than a measly 200 horsepower and sputtered from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 10 seconds. Less than 10,000 DeLorean DMC-12s were made. 

Legendary car and product designer Giorgetto Giugiaro is behind all of this. The fact that DeLoreans still look futuristic today speaks volumes.

Giugiaro had designed such notable autos as the Maserati Bora, Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT, Volkswagen Scirocco, and Lotus Esprit. DeLorean Company considered Giugiaro one of the world’s greatest automotive engineers and designers. They was correct. Giugiaro presented a design that looks as modern today as it did in 1981. Even standing still, the DeLorean appears to be in motion. The body sets the car apart from anything else on the road. The paint can’t chip or fade, and it’s impervious to rust.

The DeLorean DMC-12 seems to have found its place in time. There’s just something about a failed car that ends up saving the future.
