The first photographs of DeLorean Motor Company's Alpha 5 electric vehicle (EV), the brand's attempt to renew the DeLorean moniker in an all-electric form, have been released.The Alpha 5 has iconic gull-wing doors and can hit 60mph in roughly 2.99 seconds (or 88mph in 4.35 seconds, if you're curious). It's based on the famed '80s-era, and it is recognized for its appearance in Back to the Future.The automobile will be unveiled to the public tonight at 9 p.m. Pacific Time and the company hopes to display it at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 18.The first car was released in 1981, and the automobile is well known for being a time machine in the 1985 film Back to the Future.The new DMC, created in 1995, is unrelated to the previous Motor Company founded in 1975 by John DeLorean, which went bankrupt in 1982.Since then, the new company has largely worked as a repair and restoration company for classic DMC automobiles, having acquired the former company's logo and parts inventory.DeLorean Alpha5 EV specsThe latest EV is expected to include a 100kWh battery pack with a range of more than 300 miles and power a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system.It will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.99 seconds to 0-88 mph in 4.35 seconds. The top speed is expected to be 155 miles per hour.Tomas @ AcmeBlog@TheAcmeBlogThe DeLorean Motor Company has presented its new electric car a good 40 years after the "original". The DeLorean EV Alpha5 has little in common with the original, apart from the name. It is a modern electric car that also has a new design. #AcmeBlogthenarf.com/2022/05/30/thi…1The DeLorean Motor Company has presented its new electric car a good 40 years after the "original".

ItalDesign developed a wedge-shaped automobile with stainless steel body panels and smooth rise gullwing doors that allow tall drivers easy access and egress.Though its unusual paintless stainless steel appearance ensured that its body would never rust, its disappointing 2.85-liter, 130bhp V6 engine ensured that its performance would never equal its beauty.Between 1981 and 1983, around 9,000 cars were produced. There are thought to be over 6,000 of them left today, and DMC Classic still has plenty of original and remanufactured parts.Muhammad Faraz@farazssuetianDeLorean Motor Company will launch its newest electric car.
