If the uber-nerds over at Gizmodo are to be believed then the iconic, gull-winged DeLorean sports car may soon be back soon be back in production.
The DeLorean, best known as the time machine in 1985's Back to the Future, is arguably the most notorious vehicle ever produced. It's American designer, John DeLorean, decided to manufacture it in Belfast at the height of the Troubles, and soon became involved in a scandal so labyrinthine it would have tested the credibility of even the most die-hard Dynasty fan.
All sports cars make a statement about their owners. The return of the DeLorean is political incorrectness with a 130 horse power, fuel-injected V6 engine. Can you imagine the sort of people who will be queuing up to buy this?
