DeLorean teases its EV concept car

A new image and a debut date of an all-electric vehicle concept were provided by the company behind the pop culture icon gull-winged car.

Stephen Wynne, who owns the DeLorean name and supplies parts for the 6,000 or so remaining vehicles, is trying to revive the brand with the upcoming EV concept. Several Texas executives who were connected to Karma automotive were partners with Wynne. Joost de Vries was the CEO of the DeLorean Motor Company.

The left shoulder and back tail light of the concept car are shown in the three-quarter shot of the image. If DeLorean follows the path of virtually every other automaker, we can expect many more teases to come.

In a Linkedin Post, de Vries wrote, "Yes, a tease as it doesn't show the whole vehicle yet, but a great shot of the rear quarter." Looking forward to sharing more soon.

The company said the new EV concept will debut during Monterey Car Week in August. The official name of the vehicle will be announced along with the reveal. The DeLorean EV concept will be displayed on the lawn at the beach during Monterey Car Week.

The company said in its announcement that the past, present, and future of DeLorean will unfold over the duration of Monterey Car Week through a series of activations and events.

The future of the vehicle as a vehicle that consumers can buy and drive is not clear, which is the important word here. It could end up in the trash bin, like so many concept cars before it. It will take a lot of capital to bring the vehicle to production. Fisker, Rivian, Lucid and the half dozen other EV startups have tried to develop and produce an EV.
