Photo Gallery «Encounter with a time machine - De Lorean DMC-12 like from "Back to the Future"»

Name: De Lorean DMC-12 1982
Brand: De Lorean

It must be a special twist of fate that an automobile should launch a gigantic cinema career at a time when it was just going bankrupt in real life: the De Lorean DMC 12, the car with that stainless steel outer skin that is also suitable for kitchen sinks, among other things. The film trilogy "Back to the Future" made the car world-famous, and the movie cars are now sought-after trade fair exhibits, except that the originals have not survived. That's why two German inventors set about building the ultimate replica. With success! This report tells the story of how the movie car replica came about, which only became really good thanks to the support of the original designer.
