The design of the car is very different from the DMC-12, the only DeLorean car known to many for the “Back to the Future” trilogy. But the most important feature – the gate in the form of gull wings, has been preserved by the company.

The dimensions of the vehicle are 4995/2044/1370. It takes just 3.4 seconds for the vehicle to accelerate to 96 km/h, and its top speed reaches 241 km/h. Rechargeable battery with a capacity of more than 100 kW / h. It will provide up to 483 km of travel on a single charge per EPA cycle.

Inside the Alpha5 there are four seats, a touchscreen to control the car’s functions and a digital instrument cluster.

Italian company Italdesign, founded by designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who previously worked on the original DeLorean, has confirmed its involvement in the project.

Restart the cult brand

The DeLorean Motor Company brand was relaunched a little over 10 years ago in Texas, USA, as a company to restore and maintain original cars introduced in 1981-1982.

Repairman Stephen Wynn took both branding and stock of the original factory parts and then started production of copies. In 2016, it announced that it would begin production of completely new versions of the DeLorean, in line with the provisions of the new US law that allows automakers to produce a limited number of historical automobile replicas without having to comply with all modern requirements.

By the way, it was previously reported that Xiaomi plans to introduce its car in 2022. So far, almost no information has emerged about Xiaomi’s electric car. Other than approximate production start dates and the company’s vague promises, we’ve only heard rumors about possible production quantities.

Xiaomi is now actively recruiting. For example, some of the employees working on MIUI this year will be transferred to the automotive department. The company is currently building a large factory in the suburbs of Beijing.
