We've recently had a special Back to the Future style promotion and keeping with the theme, we've found someone who has taken a Delorean and modified it to be a future car in every aspect: it's now electric!
Yes, the car made infamous in the 80s Back to the Future series for the time travelling antics of Doc Brown and Marty McFly has been souped up by American medical doctor, engineer and inventor David Delman who was inspired by the film to make his Delorean futuristic.
He decided to pop open the engine compartment of his project car, whip out the original V6, and fill the space with eight conventional lead-acid batteries. Five more went under the hood, former home of the fuel tank, and a NetGain WaRP 9 electric motor completed the package. Total cost for batteries was $2000, and the conversion took about six months.
Dr. Delman says the range of his DeLorean is between 30 and 40 miles. He claims the converted car accelerates faster than his conventional model despite the added weight. And, it’ll head back to the future at speeds of over 85 mph, as long as he doesn’t want to go too far away from an electrical source.
Check out this Doc's electric delorean here.

Lol! Yeah, it didn't get the reputation of being made of the most sturdiest of stuff, but great idea to make it electric!
At least this sucker ain't nuclear!
It's a nice car and it's good to see it go electric, even if unofficially. Now someone do this for all the remaining deloreans and sell them! I want one!!!
