Back to the future
I strongly believe that almost nobody in Germany would've heard of this car if it hadn't been prominent in the science-fiction comedy from 1985 (1989, 1990).
John DeLorean, former member of the GM executive board, wanted to realise his dream with his own sports car, the DMC-12. The design came from Giugiaro and the V6 motor came from the Peugeot/Volvo/Renault stock, which was also deployed in a modified form in the Alpine 310 sports car. Lotus provided backing and swiftly adapted the chassis of the Esprit for the DMC-12. In spite of its sports genes, the DeLorean was a flop. The rear-mounted engine was too heavy and to weak.
