The Delorean has been the dream machine for millions of people so naturally it was a bit sad when the DeLorean Motor Company stopped making them. Impeccably restored cars are often seen at car shows and they are always a sight to behold. However with the DeLorean Motor Company back to making all-new DeLoreans, it was about time that it released a new commercial for its iconic car.
The DMC DeLorean featured in the popular Back to the Future franchise which was its claim to fame. However this car has been out of production for a very long time but a new law has allowed DMC to start making them once again.
The “Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act” (H.R. 2675) enables the company to purchase leftover DeLorean parts and produce new units. It won’t be mass producing units so don’t expect DMC dealerships to start opening up, and even the models that get built now are expected to cost as much as $100,000.
DeLorean’s new commercial puts the iconic car front and center. It has been beautifully shot in a desert and does show some details about the car’s interior, there’s an automatic transmission shifter and a speedometer that only goes up to 85 mph, confirming that your $100,000 isn’t going to get you a modern sports car.
Nevertheless, it’s the ultimate collector’s item, though in this case the collector has to have quite a bit of money to burn.
