With its distinctive gull-wing doors and stainless-steel body, the DMC-12 achieved worldwide fame when it was featured as the time machine in the “Back to the Future” film series. Despite its futuristic design and pop culture status, the DeLorean DMC-12 faced challenges in production and marketing, leading to the company’s eventual bankruptcy in 1982. Despite its brief existence, the DeLorean DMC-12 remains a beloved and iconic symbol of 1980s automotive design, with a dedicated fan base and a lasting legacy in popular culture.
