The rebooted DeLorean Motor Company has revealed its new electric sports car, the Alpha5. And while it carries on the name and gullwing layout of the original DMC-12 that took Marty McFly Back to the Future,<\/em> it travels to a different era entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The Alpha5 will accelerate to 155 mph, according to the company, and it will sprint to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds\u2014or, in a nod to that cultural touchpoint, to 88 mph in 4.4 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/strong>With an estimated 0.23 coefficient of drag, DeLorean claims that the car\u2014with a battery pack larger than 100 kwh\u2014will provide a range of more than 300 miles. It anticipates DC fast-charging at about 150 kw.<\/p>\n

The Alpha5 sheds the rectangular sealed-beam lighting and cube cues of the original for sharp, clean horizontal LED lighting. And at about 197 inches long, it\u2019s nearly two and a half feet longer\u2014about the same length as big electric four-doors like the Tesla Model S, Lucid Air, or Mercedes EQE.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The interior is modern in design but relatively simple in execution. The dash sweeps cleanly around in what\u2019s almost a continuous arc, with a digital gauge cluster standing ahead of the driver and a touchscreen infotainment system down below, at the front of a series of climate controls and other elements set low.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company says that the Alpha5 will provide seating for four, but even in a provided photo, likely positioned to make the most of it, the rear positions look very small.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/strong>In March, chief marketing officer Troy Beetz told our companion site Motor Authority<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> among various additional details, that the Alpha5 would be built on a carbon-fiber tub, with an entirely new chassis structure. The original, which was designed in the 1970s, employed a stainless-steel body.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>At that time, Beetz emphasized that the DeLorean will \u201cbe a driver\u2019s car, bringing back the joy of driving.\u201d The original DMC-12 was widely assessed to be great looking but rather uninspiring to drive.<\/p>\n

According to DeLorean, the gallery of provided photos reveals two of the production model\u2019s exterior paint colors. As DeLorean announced in April, a launch edition of the Alpha5 is due to debut at the Pebble Beach Concours D\u2019Elegance in August, when final specs will also be revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/strong>DeLorean has said that what\u2019s taking form is an entire brand of EVs<\/a>, not just a car. So look for sequels.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
