Carrying the genes of the DMC-12 into the future, how high will the DeLorean Alpha5 carry the brand’s legendary startup adventure?
Although it is remembered for its Back to the Future movie series, the return process for “DeLorean”, which has the potential to be a movie in itself, has finally come to an end with the adventure of its founder John DeLorean. Joost de Vries is responsible for bringing the brand, which has been restructured in America, back to its old popular days. Joost de Vries and his team, who have experience in brands such as Tesla and Karma in the past, shared the long-awaited return project with the first details hours ago. Built on an all-electric infrastructure, the DeLorean Alpha5 plays an important role in carrying the DMC-12’s legacy into the future. One of the unforgettable aspects of the classic model, the “Seagull Wing” door design, has been preserved, and the presence of Italdesign signature in the design process of the new car, just like the old model, is among the points that make us smile.

First information shared for DeLorean Alpha5
It would not be wrong to mark the DeLorean Alpha5 as a direct competitor to the Porsche Taycan. This point is when we look at the first numerical data of the vehicle in terms of size; 4,995 millimeters in length, 2,044 millimeters in width, 1,370 millimeters in height. These figures position the car ahead of the Taycan in length and width, according to Taycan. The 0.23 cd friction coefficient of the car, which reveals a simple character with its design lines, is not bad at all when we remember that the record is 0.20 cd. The DeLorean team does not prefer to give all the technical details of the Alpha5 in the first place. When we look at what is currently on the table, we see that a 100 kWh battery will be located in the version named “Base Performance”. DeLorean, which promises a range of up to 483 kilometers in this package, has also shared the maximum speed data of 0-100 and 250 km / h in 2.99 seconds. Alpha5, whose concrete demonstration will take place in August, is planned to be put into mass production in 2024.
