2013. 2012. 2011. DeLorean Motor Company. The original DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) is an automobile manufacturer formed by automobile industry executive John DeLorean in 1975.
It is remembered for the one model it produced — the distinctive stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12 sports car featuring gull-wing doors—and for its brief and turbulent history, ending in receivership and bankruptcy in 1982. Near the end, in a desperate attempt to raise the funds his company needed to survive, John DeLorean was filmed appearing to accept money to take part in drug trafficking, but was subsequently acquitted of charges brought against him on the basis of entrapment. History[edit] Beginning[edit] DeLorean also sought lucrative incentives from various government and economic organizations to pay for constructing the company's automobile manufacturing facilities.

During its production, several features of the car were changed, such as the hood style, wheels and interior. Approximately 9,000[4] DMC-12s were made before production halted in early 1983. The DMC-12 was the only model produced by the company which would go into liquidation as the US car market went through its largest slump since the 1930s.
Texas entrepreneur Stephen Wynne started a separate company in 1995 using the "DeLorean Motor Company" name and shortly thereafter acquired the trademark on the stylized "DMC" logo as well as the remaining parts inventory of the original DeLorean Motor Company. History[edit] Construction[edit] Body[edit] DeLorean time machine. Operation[edit] A few technical glitches with the DeLorean hinder time travel for its inhabitants; in the first film, the car has starter problems and has a hard time turning on once stopped, much to Marty's repeated frustration.[1] In the second movie, the time display malfunctions and shows random dates, which partially cause Doc to be sent to 1885.[2] In the third movie, the fuel line rips while the car is off-road, preventing the car from running under its own power.[3] Fuel[edit] A replica time machine In Back to the Future, Doc states that the time machine is electrical but that he needs a nuclear reaction (produced by plutonium stolen from a group of Libyan terrorists) to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed.[1] A bolt of lightning is used to power the flux capacitor twice in the series, once with a large pole and hook rigged up to the car to help Marty get back to 1985,[1] and again accidentally in flight to send Doc to 1885.[2] The Mr.
