  • FuryOfThor, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6As long as they hit 88 mph, we're good.
  • Sabazou, on 07/07/2008, -2/+7They found me. I don’t know how, but they found me

  • MScrip, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3I dunno, with all the millionaire geeks in the tech industry... they might sell more today than in the 80's.

    Now it's a collector's item, with a huge movie career... back then it was just a car.
  • Wootstapler, on 07/07/2008, -2/+5Mr.Babyspam is back.

  • WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Actually, it weighs less than a Honda Civic.


    Bet you thought I was gonna quote Doc Brown, didn't you? =P
  • MrZaiko, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4I used to check on the DMC website a while back, i think 1999, about how the new Delorean was Coming out soon. and you had to buy a wristWatch or somehting to be on the list. Thats a long wait, for just a car.
  • DiscoLando, on 07/07/2008, -2/+5Is there an optional cocaine dispenser?
  • TecK415, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Are the new ones going to be heavy pieces of ***** like the old ones?
  • tomthebitx, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Please excuse the crudity of this digg, I didn't have time to build it to scale or to paint it.
  • fearlessfx, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3As long as the trunk has enough room for my hoverboard they can put me down as a potential buyer.
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/9fc6/
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -2/+4It is totally awesome. Always like the innovativeness of his work.
  • Balloondoggies, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3Nope!

    Does they still come with Mr Fusion?
  • SPThom, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious *****.
  • stevea1210, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Does anyone know how much they are going for. Both an original, and the new redo's?
  • SpectralSounds, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2I think you stepped into the wrong movie. I don't know anybody from Back to the Future that was in Raiders.
  • UnFriendlyFire, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3John DeLorean was not a coke head, that was just a setup by the big three to run him out of business. Didn't you ever see Tucker (The movie)

  • nonymous666, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2The ones in the pictures look exactly like how classic Deloreans looked.

    The ones in the movies were heavily modified / propped-out.
  • MagMan68Classic, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2To help out those non BTTF fans...the cost of a hover conversion is $39,999.95
  • mal1964, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2It was more of a lack of horsepower, The weight wasn't that out of line
  • brad3378, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2If Ford or GM built a car with body panel gaps that big, they would be crucified for horrible craftsmanship.
  • Slayerdude51982, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I need one of these and now!
  • breakah, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1***** this, the flux capacitor is not even on the option list.
  • mal1964, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I hope they are targeting more than just geeks for potential buyers, If not they will be broke a lot faster than the first time

  • ansatsu29, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1car is freaking cool..
  • majikmixx, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1I hear they're releasing a "Green" model with a Mr. Fusion in the back so you can run the thing on trash.
  • valan, on 07/07/2008, -8/+9is anybody going to make a comment NOT about back to the future?
  • apextek, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1in the movie the said Jaggawatts because the working knowledge of energy was so much less than since the advent of modern computing where the term Gig is common place. the engeneer explainining power to them pronounced gig as jig.
  • ScottoGato, on 07/07/2008, -2/+3Available in four easy payments, but I would like to have it for three easy payments and one *****' complicated payment.
  • grantmoore3d, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1It's pretty cool, but did they actually put any good performance into the vehicle? If it's as slow as the original, I think I'd pass.
  • lloydsoldout, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1let's see if you bastards can do 90.
  • austang, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1we just need orange peels, egg shells and garbage
  • nonymous666, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1You used to be able to (maybe still can?) get used Deloreans just a couple years ago for $10-$12K or so.

    I saw one last summer on the highway driving home from work. It was pretty beat up. No dents, but tons of scrapes on the metal and just had a serious used and abused vibe. Rear bumper was cracked.

    Looked like a couple college-aged guys in it.
  • MagMan68Classic, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1That is a surprisingly accurate quote
