Design house ItalDesign has been called in to consult on the design for the Alpha 5, which takes plenty of visual references from the original DMC-12, but repackages it into contemporary design that incorporates larger versions of the original gullwing doors that give access to both rows of seats. This partnership with ItalDesign should yield benefits to the fledgling EV maker, giving gravitas to a model launching into a sea of startups and new-era electric car companies.
The rest of the design exploits a more contemporary and curvaceous design language, rather than an obvious pastiche of late-1970s motifs. The black roof instantly informs a more modern design, so too a rising windowline and slim LED lighting graphics. The new DeLorean will also feature an active rear wing, which itself creates a completely different silhouette to the iconic original.The Alpha 5 won’t just be a one-off, either.
We expect more information to be released about the new Alpha 5 closer to its in-person debut at Pebble Beach Concours in late August, but until then DMC is back, and in a better position than ever to prosper as a new-age EV manufacturer.
Regardless of whether this materialises or not, I think this is very classy bit of car design.
Vaporware.
To have a rival you need to have a product. Let me know when they have shipped something.
Do they have funds this time to finalise the project
I can't go away from felling that it's very nice doll.
