Tesla Who? The DeLorean Is Actually Releasing. Like, As A Real Car

The DeLorean from Back to the Future is actually releasing as a real car this year. That's wild.

Remember watching Back to the Future, and thinking "I wish I had that DeLorean"? Well... now you can actually... have... that... DeLorean. Wild, I know. The ever-iconic car from a 40-year-old movie is actually going to be a real thing, and it's all happening this year.

Real DeLorean Car Premiere in 2022

Interestingly – and I truly didn't know this – this is not the first time the DeLorean is in production. The original DeLorean Motor Company went broke in 1982, after the car was in production without anyone really caring to buy it. In fact, the actual DeLorean Motor Company went broke before the movie was even released in 1985. Imagine that. You have an iconic movie, revolving around the very car that your company is named after, but your company went broke before that movie was ever released. Feelsbadman.

Well... time for another shot at greatness... for a car that already achieved greatness without ever existing. This is very paradox...

As of now, we don't really have any details on the 2022 DeLorean, other than the little teaser you can watch in the tweet above. Smart money is on the car being very Tesla like and branded as a luxury vehicle, but... only time will tell.
