Car tech: DeLorean EV

The iconic car made famous by Back to the Future is getting an electric eco makeover.

You won't see me in an EV this side of 2015.

Well, we'll have a two year headstart with our electric DMC-12 then. Once we've scraped together the necessary $100,000, we'll be joyriding our DeLorean EV from 2013, thanks to the DeLorean Motor Company of Texas and electric-car start-up Epic EV.

I hope the Flux Capacitor's intact.

Sadly not, but you will be able to reach speeds of 125mph in this baby, on its 260 horsepower electric motor. With this new model – four years in the making – you get iconic 80s styling on the outside and modern touches like built-in GPS and an iPod dock inside.

But what happens when I hit 88mph?

You get a speeding ticket. Next!

It was slow back then and it still isn't as fast as you want it now. And now it's electric running out of plutonium won't be as much of a worry as running out of charge and having to wait 11 hours to recharge.
