DeLorean To Re-Enter Limited Production in 2008

Posted July 31, 2007 9:22 AM

From Wired:

Normally, this would be the sole province of our car blog, Autopia, but the DeLorean has a special place in the hearts of technology lovers, so its forthcoming return--yes, new DeLoreans are coming--is too exciting to ignore.

(Texas), plans to start limited construction: "With 200 of the original 2.8-liter V-6 engines still in stock and facing a dwindling supply of cars suitable for rebuilding, Espey figures that within a year or so they'll start making the cars from scratch. Their manufacturing plans are modest — maybe 20 or so cars a year. But it would be quite a comeback for a car that was given up for dead more than a quarter of a century ago."

Is it wrong to want what my wife will never let me have?

Im more inclined to hope for the Volkswagons W12 (Bench tuned of course) being used .

Maybe a high end hybrid using some of those Kinetic batteries instead of the lead bricks that are just so 18th century.

I do hope the body style is left relatively the same, but an improvement on the rest of the vehicle is warranted (my opinion).

Priced right, it might sell...
