ohn DeLorean created a host of automotive

features that are still relevant today. Some

nals, concealed windshield wipers, and vertically

stacked headlights.

John Zachary DeLorean was indisputably a

brilliant engineer and a trailblazer. The car he’s

most famous for, the DMC-12, became a cultural

icon after featuring in the “Back to the Future”

films.

The DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) was of

ficially founded in Detroit on October 24, 1975.

The plan was to build what DeLorean called an

ethical, safe, long-lasting and sustainable car with

the best of everything.

Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Italian designer and

founder of ItalDesign, based the DeLorean on a

1970 concept car he had drawn up for Porsche,

a stainless-steel body with gull-wing doors. It was

powered by a Peugeot-Renault-Volvo 2.85 litre

V6 engine with 130 horsepower.

During an interview, DeLorean alluded to

having more than 200 patents. He implemented

several daring changes that proved his genius.

DeLorean would eventually declare personal

bankruptcy in 1999 which was inevitable follow

ing the crash of DeLorean Motor Company.

JZD comes from DNG Motors (DeLorean Next

Generation Motors) who have also announced

the DeLorean Alpha5, an upcoming bat

tery-electric sports car produced by the DeLo

rean Motor Company (not the same as DNG, and

not the original DMC who built the DMC DeLo

rean in 1981.)
