So here it is.
It has a name. Alpha 5.
And gullwing doors. And rear louvers.
Was it worth the wait?

And it has 4 seats.
No sign of any stainless steel bodywork, as expected.

Not really feeling the doors, they look huge. I probably would have liked it more if it had been a 2 seater. Maybe it’ll grow on me once I see one in person.

The doors are awkwardly long to provide access to the back seat, where there is no space for your legs. It doesn’t make any sense. Both problems are solved with a 2 seater.

I'm liking what I see. The style is uniquely attractive and it clearly suggests the DeLorean heritage. Certainly less angular and more sculpted. Yet it evokes the character of the original car. Even with the doors closed, I immediately recognize the DeLorean character. Of course, the photos on the web site are professional and who knows what’s under the skin. Still, at first look, I see an eye catching car with a sexy appeal similar to our vintage DeLoreans. Hard to know the quality of fit and finish, but they’ve amazingly outdone Tesla with the look. Likely because they had a fantastic starting point and took advantage of it.

I like how the heater controls are neatly hidden behind the ipad thing

I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

It's a slick design, but at a 175k price point, I'd likely go with a different car. It'll be interesting to see if they actually get these into production and out on the market for sale. I do like the design, though not a lot of it says delorean to me except for the doors. Sounds like a lot of people in the car community plan on buying one from what I'm seeing online. I guess you can always put a stainless wrap on it

Agreed. I'm happy with my '21 Taycan and a DeLorean. Best of both worlds.Originally Posted by EngineerGuY
