Take a private tour of the new Delorean production facility in Houston Texas.
Where they are repair and build new Deloreans.
The DMC DeLorean (often referred to as the “DeLorean”) is a rear-engine, two-door, two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed by John DeLorean’s DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) .
Targeting the American market from 1981 to 1983—ultimately the only car brought to market by the fledgling company.
Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and noted for its gull-wing doors and brushed stainless-steel outer body panels, the sports car was also noted for a lack of power and performance incongruous with its looks and price.
Though its production was short-lived, the car became widely known when featured as the time machine in the Back to the Future media franchise.
