I know that asking this question here will be like asking a kids whether they want candy or broccoli, but let's put all our love for the Delorean aside for a moment.
I want to do a project car and I have two plans in mind.
The aim is to build something that will not look dated or out of place parked next to other classy cars. I want to build something that will have universal appeal with everyone, especially the ladies.
Option 1:

Take a 5th gen Mercedes SL. Preferrably a V6 model that needs an engine.
Put in a Viper V10 or an alternate power plant.
Mould the body to what you see in the pics above paint it gunmetal grey.
Some more mods as well as I think of it.
Option 2:

Find a Delorean that needs a new engine or work. Put in a power plant from a Chevy Volt or a V8 or some other engine; keeping room to add two turbines on top.
Customize the exterior to include two proper jet exhaust vents part of the body like the BTTF car (for the turbines).
Put in the LED bumper and top strips from the BTTF car.
(No exposed wiring like the original BTTF car; its got to look like a factory fit.)
Customise the interior to include a large touchscreen display like the Tesla and Volt. Make it classy..
Wire up the LED strips so that they will light up whenever the car goes over 100kph. like the pic below.

Most of my friends say the ladies will appreciate option 1 better. Its a more modern looking car, hard-top convertible and its got the luxury interior of the SL.
Except for her.. She's a BTTF fan.
I'd have to agree with my friends about option 1. But its hard to say No to a car with Jet thrusters in the back.
