deloreans are awesome for how they look, but the reliability and build quality of the original dmc-12 was laughable; they'd rust, wouldn't start, all that fun stuff.
DeLoreans really didn't have very much power. The US version only had 130hp. Lol.
which wasn't bad for when it came out, tbh. 1980s mustang had like 140 horsepower with the v8. the 2011 DMC-12 can be bought with a 197 horsepower engine, or the standard one.
front wheel drive is for queers
lotus on why they made a fwd car:
The choice of front wheel drive is unusual for a sports car, but according to Lotus sales literature, "for a given vehicle weight, power and tyre size, a front wheel drive car was always faster over a given section of road. There were definite advantages in traction and controllability, and drawbacks such as torque steer, bump steer and steering kickback were not insurmountable."[1]
