how could we fix the delorean ?
my vote would go for popup headlights
>>14812140
that and lose the gull-wing doors desu
Good engineering
scrap the ugly 80s design and start over
>>14812149
the dors are fine desu
>>14812140
looks breddy gud as it is
>>14812140
Build them all into time traveling cars then drive them to the past and leave them there.
1. Make it so we finish development before running out of money.
2. Don't have drunk morons from the British Isles assemble it.
id also make it more fast
LS Swap.
Not even joking.
add lightness
>>14812253
That's the last thing that would've happened on a production level. Delorean didn't leave GM on favorable terms, they more or less bullied him out. He could've licensed the Rover aluminum V8 though, would've also gone well with manufacturing the car in the UK.
20B rotary swap
>>14812140
Give it a better engine (like the Rover V8 since he was already using a shitload of governmental assistance), lose the shitty gullwing doors, and give it an actual paint job so you could clean the fucking thing.
But that would require the designers to not spend all their development money on cocaine.
>>14812297
>Production level
I wasn't talking about that. Drop that horrid French POS engine and put in something that actually makes it the sports car it was meant to be.
>>14812318
>I wasn't talking about that.
But everyone else is.
>>14812313
The cocaine is a myth and actually the result of US authorities trying to entrap him.
>>14812332
I don't know, the DMC-12 seems like pretty good evidence that they were on SOMETHING.
>>14812332
The Coke isn't a myth brah
>>14812409
It is, otherwise it wouldn't have completely busted in court. The entrapment alone was enough to ruin his image though.
>>14812422
The motherfucker was buying Coke and got busted l, if some investigative fuckery went on then it went on, but Delorian was trying to score
>0-60 in 9 seconds
More power.
Scrap it entirely. It's literally a meme car. Probably the first meme car ever
It needs to be more cocaine.
>>14812456
The motherfucker was entrapped by US authorities trying to finance his business venture. He never bought cocaine, he was just "hired" to transport it.
Keep the name, make a new car that isn't a big piece of heavy shit with a weak engine.
>>14812460
how about quad rotors wankel?
Bi turbo too

>At some point in 1982, John DeLorean became the target of an FBI sting operation designed to arrest drug traffickers. He was arrested in October 1982 and charged with conspiring to smuggle $24 million worth of cocaine into the US. The key element of evidence for the prosecution was a videotape showing DeLorean discussing the drugs deal with undercover FBI agents Benedict (Ben) Tisa and West, although DeLorean's attorney Howard Weitzman successfully demonstrated to the court that he was coerced into participation in the deal by the agents who initially approached him as legitimate investors.
You're right, he was acquitted because his Jew lawyer found a way to create reasonable doubt, he would have taken the deal to transport as DMC was bankrupt
>>14812496
What makes no sense to me is what good arresting drug traffickers is supposed to do if you have to turn people into drug traffickers first. There's no recorded evidence of Delorean ever being involved in drug trafficking before that event.
>>14812313
>give it an actual paint job
I got u senpai
>>14812574
Still easier to clean than brushed stainless steel.
How to fix DeLorean:
>Modern V6 engine that actually performs well for a sports car
>80s style digital dashboard
>Reatta-esque CRT center console touchscreen computer (except this one isn't shit that breaks down constantly
>minor changes to cut weight and improve handling, otherwise keep everything else the way it is
>>14812728
>V6 engine
>sports car
.. no
>>14812465
>implying it was the first movie car to become a meme
The Love Bug and Bullitt came out in 1968.
We don't.
It's a litteral mememobile.
It has always been shit, it died for a ood reason and if it wasn't for Back to the Future, nobody would give a damn about it aside from two irish blokes and some history buffs who'd tell you it's great because it was better than the Wartburg Sportscar.
>>14812788
>300ZX
>Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4
>not sports cars
>>14812855
maybe in the 90's
not today
>>14812788
V6 engines today are a thousand times better than the early 80s V6 engines, which were gutless shitheaps.
Today the power you can get from a V6 is similar to the power you could get from a V8 15 years ago.
>>14812858
my insurance disagrees
lol
>>14812728
>80s style digital dashboard
>Reatta-esque CRT center console touchscreen computer (except this one isn't shit that breaks down constantly
retard-tier ideas
>>14812881
And F1 is making 800hp out of that V6.
>>14812149
>fix the car
>by removing the most iconic thing from it
Good job, you really outdid yourself
If you changed anything, it would cease to be a DeLorean. Its inadequacies and quirks define it.
>>14812905
m8 they were a shitton of trouble to deal with. Literally nobody but John Delorean liked them, and they were a constant point of failure for the car.
>>14812152
>>14812903
While also lasting up to 4000km and averaging 15mpg.
Impressive engineering overcomes any uneducated assumptions.
Knight Rider lights and the Ghostbusters logo
>>14812922
Pretty sure they were fixed with improved strut design by DMC in Texas
>>14812140
>>14812149
Itt: Weebs trying to make delorean look like a stainless steel 86
lsx swap
Wedge up the front some more, pop a decent motor in there and don't use stainless steel for the bodywork. Just metallic paint it up.
Better performance
>>14812922
>Literally nobody but John Delorean liked them
I like them. You lose. Riveting exchange, chap.
>>14812544
It's almost like there's some sort of profiteering involving prison industrial complexes, perhaps the private one, and that the war on drugs was started largely to their benefit.
Dual eletric motors
>>14812140
titanium oxide
Give it a responsive twin turbocharged v8, full independent sport suspension, 6 speed manual, and etc. Keep it light and sporty. Keep the retro cocaine look and doora. Make it an american everyman's 911.
>>14817244
I would love to see a supercar cheaper and simpler than the gtr. American built just adds glory.
>On January 27, 2016, the Humble, Texas location announced that production will resume and "new" DMC-12's will be rolling off the assembly line in early 2017. DMC announced that they would begin producing 300 DMC-12 models in late 2016. They are projected to cost just under $100,000.[6]
Man, I don't kno wether to hate or to love these guys. On one hand, new Deloreans. On the other, lol 100k u fuccbois, betta pay up
