DeLorean back to the car market

DeLorean can return to the car market due to US law, which exempts small scale car manufacturers on safety requirements imposed on the majority of concerns. The law applies to "replica", ie machines, similar to the model age of 25 years - for example, Shelby Cobra, Mustang 1965 DeLorean.





DeLorean Motor Company engaged in repair and restoration of car DeLorean, which were produced from 1981 to 1983 in Northern Ireland. The new law will allow the company to use the millions of factory parts to build a model 2017 with the engine of the third-party vendor.

The new engine is needed for two reasons. First, with the help of the company will be able to meet the demands of legislators to emissions, because the new rules apply only to security, but not for ecological cars. Second, the engine will be more powerful than the original DeLorean - under the hood of the new version will be 300-400 horsepower instead of 130. The wheels will be increased from 14-15 to 17-18 inches.

The company plans to settle all the bureaucratic issues until 2016, and приступить to manufacture the first quarter of 2017. The cars will cost between 80 to 100 thousand dollars, will produce them in quantity 325 pieces per year.
