Bringing You The Future To Today's World

[Karin]

Beware: this can be image heavy.

I was part of the fun little event earlier today at the DMCH along with at least a dozen others. Later during our meeting, the future came before our eyes: the electric DeLorean. I am pretty disappointed I did not bring up the courage to ride in it with Steve but I still got a chance to see it up close and such. I swear, the DeLorean was the quietest thing I've ever heard; it made the Jalopnik DeLorean sound like a real hotrider. No offense. The only thing I heard from the electric car was the little computer underneath the hood.












Thought I'd bring up the photo of Jalopnik since I brought up the subject a bit as a bonus.

Oh wow, I didn't know they actually did that Jalopnik/Forza wrap, I never heard anything about it!

So what exactly are the billet knobs on the armrest? Looks like the smaller are affiliated with the doors. ???

I really like how they moved the air vents into the kneepads so as to allow for a more modern radio .

Yeah, these knobs automatically open the doors with the touch of a button. I was on the passenger side talking to Citizen when Steve opened the door there with no one on the passenger seat. You can bet I was curious as to how he did that, then I saw the buttons on the arm rest. I think the car also has an automatic transmission. The knob above the doors' buttons said only R, N, and D.

If I recall correctly, there is no transmission at all. The output of the electric motor is coupled directly to a differential. That's why there's no "P" to select.

So, it's one of those where you say "Engine start." and then it starts? Maybe eventually it will also be voice activated when you want it in reverse for example.
