This electric DeLorean is just a prototype, but our sister publication, Translogic got to take it for a spin and found that a 260-horsepower electric motor finally makes the DMC-12 the sports car everyone has always wanted it to be. While we get to see plenty of footage of the car lapping Houston Motorsports Park, this episode also includes an interview with DeLorean Motor Company CEO Stephen Wynne. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: DMC announces all-electric DeLorean for 2013
Given the car’s iconic classic/futuristic status, it’s no surprise that the DeLorean DMC-12 is a popular car for DIY electric car conversions.
