Despite not having a new vehicle produced in over 40 years, DeLorean is still around and, according to the latest company blog, still one of the most iconic, instantly recognizable names in the automotive industry. Mind you, it’s not the same DeLorean company that started out in Northern Ireland, but it’s the next best thing, if you will.
In 1995, Liverpool car mechanic Stephen Wynne set up the DeLorean Motor Company, or the New DeLorean, in Humble, Texas, after buying the DeLorean trademarks and remaining inventory. Since then, Wynne has been trying to bring back the iconic DMC-12, a staple of the ‘80s that, back then, stood out for a striking design, incredibly high ambitions, and a myriad of performance and quality issues.
