Well, I for you am very happy to see this news, DeLorean is back and rolling out a new model in fall of 2016!
Full article is below first published on TheUSBPort.
The first prototype of DeLorean appeared in October 1976, and production officially began in 1981 in Dunmurry, a suburb of south west Belfast, Northern Ireland (with the first DMC-12 rolling off the production line on January 21). The car features gull-wing doors and an innovative fiberglass chassis and underbody structure, along with a brushed stainless steel body.
DMC became famous for its appearance and was modified as a time machine in the Back to the Future film trilogy. A little more than 8,500 DMC-12s left DeLorean’s factory in Northern Ireland between 1981 and 1983, until its founder John DeLorean’s was arrested by the FBI on charges of drug trafficking.
Actually, it is quite impressing that Texas-based DeLorean Motor Company could soon initiate again its production thanks to a new law which exempts small volume car manufacturers from the safety requirements applied to the newly cars. On January 27, 2016, in Humble, Texas location, the car maker announced that production will resume and “new” DMC-12’s will be rolling off the assembly line in early 2017.
Furthermore, the car maker announced that they would be producing 300 DMC-12 models in late 2016. Until now, the company’s primary task was just to repair and restore all the DeLorean vehicles that were being driven around the world.
But now, by taking advantage of the aforementioned law, DeLorean can use those parts in order to create a completely new 2017 model with a crate engine from an outside supplier.
Truth be told, the horsepower which can offer the original DeLorean isn’t so powerful, and that’s why buying the engine from a third-party supplier is very important.
The initial horsepower was about 130, while at this time the company examines a number of engine options, all between 300 and 400 horsepower.
It’s also going to move to 17-inch or 18-inch wheels, because it’s impossible to receive high-performance tires on the 14- and 15-inch original rims. Pricing is expected to run between $80,000 and $100,000. It is also worth noting that replica cars still have to meet current Environmental Protection Agency standards for emissions, so the DMC-12’s old Peugeot-Renault-Volvo V6 has been already ruled out.
The Lochmandy family has been associated with the vehicle business in Michiana for virtually one hundred years. Throughout the decades their "Tradition of Caring" has earned the Lochmandy Vehicle Team an excellent reputation.
This heritage began with Michael J. Lochmandy who was born in 1915, the oldest child of Hungarian immigrants who made a home in South Bend around 1895. Michael started a childhood passion in vehicles, while his father worked as an examiner for the Studebaker Firm.
In 1934, at the age of 19 Michael took an entry-level job with General Motors. He was moving his way up in the firm when, in 1942, after the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor, The U.S.A entered the Second World War.
Michael worked at the Yeager Motor company of South Bend till 1952, when he left the company to open his own Buick Dealership in Valparaiso Indiana. Michael's viewpoint was to treat every customer the way you would certainly intend to be treated.
This, in addition to a solid post war desire for cars, caused very early success as an entrepreneur. In 1954 Michael acquired a second Buick franchise business eighty miles away, in Elkhart Indiana. Rather than split his time between the two dealerships; Michael decided to offer his Valparaiso car dealership to his brothers Victor and Alfred.

He moved his young household to Elkhart as well as opened Lochmandy Buick Sales at 426 North Main Street. In 1959, Michael opened a 2nd new vehicle franchise business, Lochmandy Rambler Sales at 1230 West Bristol Street. The following year he added a 2nd secondhand automobile lot on Main street, followed by an automobile rental service in 1962.
Michael's child, Dennis Lochmandy, shared his love of the car industry. Dennis worked as sales manager, as well as bought Lochmandy Rambler in 1967. He included the Dodge brand name in 1968, and GMC trucks in 1978. Like his father, Dennis was insistent that values of honesty and stability be practiced and also noticeable to customers and staff members alike.
In 1993, both business merged under the name Lochmandy Motors as well as the car dealership passed to a new generation. In 1995, Craig Lochmandy bought the store from his father, Dennis, and also constructed a cutting-edge dealership in Elkhart, Indiana.
Lochmandy Motors' current location is home of one of the biggest new car dealerships in Elkhart region, with a personnel of over 100 individuals, offering over 1500 automobiles a year.
