Sam I Am Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 This is a Delorean that should have been, and what an artists concept it is. ? http://www.stanceworks.com/2020/01/from-time-travel-to-time-attack-a-delorean-dmc-12-as-envisioned-by-ash-thorp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Well, looks like it would be easy to scratchbuild out of sheet styrene, so it's got THAT goin' for it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter31a Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 That would never appeal to a mass market which the Delorean was originally supposed to do. As a one off custom interpretation it's sort of cool by today's esthetics. Looks good by Cyber truck standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeE Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_attack It's for this. Purpose built race car. Like hillclimbers, serious autocross, track cars.

RichCostello Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Why does it have an entertainment center stuck to the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) That is for a medium-size rear-facing TV that has a feed from a rear-view camera. Following drivers would be self-conscious seeing themselves on the TV, which should minimize tailgating and other aggressive behavior. At the least, they'll move away from the camera.

The Junkman Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Looks like a Delorean that drove through the JC Whitney warehouse while covered in Elmer's Glue. Never was a fan of '80s folded paper design studies, most Lotuses excepted. Hard pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I approve all of these neat styling studies. This fragmented dystopian look is being popularized by Ash Thorpe, Aaron Beck, and Khyzl Saleem. I can see the influences of their work in video games, films...and even real custom car builds at SEMA etc. Weird stuff sometimes, but I've always liked cyberpunk. I like the Ferrari F40 vibes I'm getting from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeE Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Cool. Hopefully has motor better than PRV 6. For all the haters, time attack cars are stupid fast, get snot pounded out of them. The "entertainment center" adds downforce for cornering. No real rules about that so people go nuts. Ugly but effective. More useful than a red pro-street Camaro that can't go straight for 1/8mi. Oldest time attack race is Pike's Peak. So much older than you. The Audi in first pic is from '87. Factory built. Owned record at PP for ages. Hate away, free to do so. LOL. Go to a Mustang/Porsche/Vette board and do same, or friends living room. For the rest of us open-minded that like this stuff, here ya go.

If he said this Delorean is a great race car (never heard of time attack cars) I probably would have agreed. Don't call anyone haters because they are responding to the original statement in the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if you felt it was personal, it is not. Yours was a cogent comment. Not hateful at all. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Mostly what the de Lorean should have been is “not covered with heavy, expensive, hard to look after stainless steel.” After all, in the fibreglass it was pretty much the next Lotus Europa... best, M.

Well, in that it was fibreglass car made with Lotus production techniques and engineering on a Lotus-designed steel backbone chassis and Colin Chapman suspension set-up, and driven by a Renault engine... It feels a bit as though the Esprit was the pur sang replacement for the Europa, and the de Lorean was Chapman dusting off a redundant "here's one I made earlier" and moulding it to de Lorean's requirements to make a bit of cash (and the less said about that the better...). best, M.

Bainford Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Cheers Matt . I get it. It was just my knee jerk reaction to your comment. As an Europa owner, I view the DeLorean as an over weight, under powered, pathetic and ridiculous door stop, whereas the Europa is pure, uncompromised driving brilliance.

DukeE Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 PRV was boat anchor, and hung behind the wheels seems anti-Lotus. Backbone chassis sure, hence Tesla, Hennessey using Loti chassis. Probably a cynical money grab for Chapman trying to pay for race cars, which is a good thing. Lotus actually got paid for their work IIRC. Sadly, last Lotus I liked was 26R, and I owned an 83 Esprit Turbo with pressurized SU's back in '85, which is why 26R is last one I liked.
