Really? That’s disappointing.

I can't find a top speed figure but it did have a 0-60mph of 10.5 seconds...and that was the manual.

Even better, the original DeLorean didn't have a speedometer that went to 88mph. They had to change the gauge cluster for the movie.

A 1975 econobox was that slow. Lol

Yes. At least a DeLorean is a Lotus underneath, and the weak engine can be/has been solved.

I can confirm this. My friends neighbor had a DeLorean and it sat in the driveway covered in a tarp waiting for “parts” 98% of the time. I can count the times I saw him drive it on one hand.

but it could be tweaked back into life and had some actually interesting features. its a shit vehicle, but it could have been more.
the cybertruck is just landfill material.

The whole reason it was used in the original was that it was already a massive joke of a car.
Looks ok but runs like shit, the gull wing doors broke all the time and leaked like a sive.
It's use in BTTF actually saved its reputation and gave it a place in people's heart's it never had before.
That was why I made the comparison. Shit car that needs a movie to make it relevant and slightly cool.

Precisely. That's even why Doc Brown sees it as being stylish - he's a bit out of touch

Don’t send it to the landfill! I bet you could make a few stainless steel sinks out of it.
