History

The DeLorean DMC-12, produced by the DeLorean Motor Company between 1981 and 1982, is a sports car famed for its stainless-steel body and iconic gullwing doors. Designed by former GM executive John DeLorean, it represented his ambitious vision for a groundbreaking American sports car. Despite initial excitement, the DMC-12 faced production delays, high costs, and mixed reviews, resulting in financial struggles for the company. Production was short-lived, with around 8,583 units built before DMC declared bankruptcy in 1982. However, the car gained a cult following, largely due to its starring role in Back to the Future, securing its place as an enduring cultural icon.
