New DeLorean?

Any of you fine folks see this one?

Is it me but all I see is a Tesla.

It's not you. Reminds me of the various attempts to resurrect Duesenberg. They all missed the mark, too.

@MisterButtercup I spy with my little eye some FF91 influence
1995 Mustang GT
1998 Wrangler Sport -
@old-busted-hotness yeah, unless you've got the budget to build a Veyron in sedan form, stay the hell away from the Duesenberg name
2022 Ioniq SE
1964 Corvair Monza -
@ranwhenparked, @Old-Busted-Hotness It is almost impossible to replicate what Duesenberg was to its era today. It was a street legal F1 car that can seat 5 of it's time. The typical Rolls Royce of the time was producing 20 to 50 HP while a Duesy was producing over 200 HP. I would say the closest thing today would be a upper end Gulfstream jet in terms of showcasing your wealth.

@misterbuttercup I don't hate it but it needs more refinement. The side and rear profile do show the DMC-12 heritage. The font, not so much.

@krustywantout agreed. Looks good, but needs some tweaking.
-
@urambo-tauro had to google that, but absolutely.
-
Hoping it has even less power than the OG delorean.
-
@maximaspeed that would've hilarious
67 hp to the wheels baby. Does it do 0-60? Yes!
-
@misterbuttercup It’s just a personal sketch project, not a real thing. A more refined version of the sketch projects I would post on old Oppo—- in fact, one of those was a DeLorean... I’ll see if I can dig it up.
-
@phenotyp would be cool to see! I did see that it was a personal project, but the article was noting that "they" do seem to plan an announcing one next fall.

@misterbuttercup After my buddy won the NY Auto Show sketchbattle, he challenged me to come to the Detroit show this year (which... obviously didn't happen) and do it, so I asked Oppo for some sketch prompts. This was the DeLorean, 2 rounds of 1 hour each.

@phenotyp said in New DeLorean?:

I like this! -
@phenotyp those look great!! Wow!
10/10 would buy hot wheels of actual car that looked like that -
@misterbuttercup I like it. But I want one of the new ones the Texas-based company is making with all the old parts.

I like it, but I do miss the big rectangular front end... but I guess aerodynamics are important.
-
@chariotoflove yeah, one of those would be nice for sure.
-
@taylor-martin eh, it's like the cyber truck, they are important, but so is the styling
-
@vondon302 That was a fun one.
(They were all fun)
-
@chariotoflove Same here. I wonder if you could make a Ford turbo 6 fit...
-
I'm very skeptical, but those wheels are amazing...
-
@misterbuttercup Looks good from the front and rear to me, but from the side that ridiculously high beltline and those tiny windows look terrible. I guess that means they need to lower the hood so they can carry a lower line across the car. Which probably means they need to have smaller wheels/tires to allow for a lower hood.
-
@facw yup. I mainly shared it because while the drawings are someone's concept art, the article mentions a new DeLorean company to announce a car in fall 2021, so there might actually be a new one
