DeLorean Motor Company has finally revealed the first full photos of the company’s first electric car named Alpha 5. The electric DeLorean is not exactly similar to the original model released back in the 80’s as we might expect. The car comes with a more modern design, with curved lines. Still, the eagle wings doors are present on the new model. The interior design appears to be minimal, as we can see in Tesla cars, and now we also have information about the specifications of the vehicle.
DeLorean Motor Company has promised that the DeLorean Alpha 5 electric vehicle will be revealed at hte Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance which will take place on August 18 but now we get to see the first photos of the electric car, photos that look more like a 3D model rather than a real car.
DeLorean Motor Company has revealed details about the speed, acceleration, autonomy and battery capacity of the final versions of the car. It appears that the DeLorean Alpha 5 electric car will be a serious rival for electric cars currently on the market. DeLorean Alpha 5 will provide four seats but the car is only available in the two doors model.
Being a DeLorean and considered to be a sports car, the fact that it will go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2,99 seconds is not exactly a surprise as other electric cars provide similar performances. What is interesting is that DeLorean also provides the time for 0 to 88 miles for the Alpha 5 thus making a reference to the Back to the Future movies. In the movie, the car was able to travel in time only after reaching 88 miles per hour. So, the new DeLorean Alpha 5 electric car can go from 0 to 88 miles in just 4.35 seconds.
The DeLorean Alpha 5 electric car can reach a maximum speed of 155 miles per hour and will offer an autonomy of at least 300 miles. The battery will have a capacity of 100 kWh, or even bigger. It appears that some details are not exactly fully established but estimates are done at the EPA standard, without an official certification.
Most likely this will be the only “preview” we get for the DeLorean Alpha 5 before the official reveal which will take place in August. The official website is now open for everybody to see.
