When I saw this one on the rack, I thought it was another Lucid Air. I never suspected a DeLorean! I had no idea DeLorean still made cars!
According to Wikipedia, the Alpha5 is due to enter limited production this year in Turin, Italy.
Of course, this was not a decision between the Merc and this! I got the pair of them! - today at David Jones in Rundle Mall, Adelaide CBD.
The DeLorean DMC-12 (commonly known as "the DeLorean", as it was the only model ever produced by the company) is a sports car manufactured by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company for the American market from 1981 to 1983. The car features gull-wing doors and an innovative fibreglass body structure with a steel backbone chassis, along with external brushed stainless-steel body panels. It became widely known and iconic for its appearance, and a modified DMC-12 was immortalized as the time machine in the Back to the Future movie franchise.
The first prototype appeared in October 1976. Production officially began in 1981 in Dunmurry, a suburb of southwest Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the first DMC-12 rolled off the production line on 21 January. About 9000 DMC-12s were made before production halted in early 1983.
The company was later liquidated as the US car market went through its largest slump since the 1930s. In 2007, about 6500 DeLorean Motor cars were believed still to exist.
Stephen Wynne, a British entrepreneur from Liverpool, created a separate company in 1995 based in Texas using the "DeLorean Motor Company" name. Wynne acquired the trademark on the stylized "DMC" logo shortly thereafter, along with the remaining parts inventory of the original company. Wynne's company builds new cars at its suburban Humble, Texas location from new old stock (NOS) parts, original equipment manufacture (OEM), and reproduction parts on a "made to order" basis using existing vehicle identification number (VIN) plates.
On 27 January 2016, DMC in Texas announced that it planned to build about 300–325 replica 1982 DMC-12 cars, each projected to cost just under $100,000.

The DeLorean DMC-12 is a sports car originally manufactured in Dunmurry, a suburb of south west Belfast, Northern Ireland by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company for the American market in 1981-82. Most commonly known as the DeLorean, it was the only model produced by the company which would go into liquidation as the US car market went through its largest slump since the 1930s. The DMC-12 features gull-wing doors with a fiberglass "underbody", to which non-structural brushed stainless steel panels are affixed. A modified version of the car became iconic for its appearance as a time machine in the Back to the Future film franchise.

The DMC DeLorean (often referred to as the "DeLorean") is a rear-engine, two-door, two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) for the American market from 1981 to 1983—ultimately the only car brought to market by the fledgling company. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and noted for its gull-wing doors and brushed stainless-steel outer body panels, the sports car was also noted for a lack of power and performance incongruous with its looks and price. Though its production was short-lived, the car became widely known when featured as the time machine in the Back to the Future media franchise.
With the first production car completed on January 21, 1981, the design incorporated numerous minor revisions to the hood, interior and wheels before production ended in late December 1982, shortly after DMC filed for bankruptcy and after total production reached about 9,000.
Despite the car having a reputation for poor build quality and a less-than-satisfying driving experience, the DeLorean continues to have a strong following driven in part by the popularity of the Back to the Future movies. An estimated 6,500 DeLoreans are still on the road.
