The new DeLorean will be an electric sports car designed by Italdesign

The famous Back to the Future icon is ready for its second life, in collaboration with Italdesign

The time seems finally come for the great return in 2022 of DeLorean, the legendary car with gullwing doors which was transformed into a time machine in Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future series. The company that acquired the rights of the brand has in fact published a video teaser on Twitter announcing the unveiling during the next months of 2022. As for the original model, Italdesign has been involved once again. What will the new DeLorean be like? According to the first rumors it will be an electric sports car with very interesting performances.

For now it is known as EVolved and should debut by the end of 2022. The promise of the British engineer and entrepreneur Stephen Wynne, who in 1995 acquired the rights to the brand, would finally be kept. Of the 9,200 units produced of the original DMC-12, it seems that there are still about 8,000 still circulating on the streets. The style was based on an original design by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign and 40 years later the two companies will meet again.

To celebrate more than two centuries of experience Morgan Motor Company will collaborate with Pininfarina on a vehicle to be unveiled in 2024.

A Morgan designed by Pininfarina

Morgan’s historic headquarters, is located in England, on Pickersleigh Road near Malvern Link in Worcestershire. This is the only place in the world where Morgans are built, all unique cars assembled by hand using ash wood, aluminum and leather. From the union of this craftsmanship with Pininfarina’s style we expect a lot.

For now there are no further details, as they will be announced in 2024 during Morgan’s 115th year, however, along with the release was released the cover image, a kind of “postcard” of what it will be, a glimpse of the past combined with modern design in very deep colors that evoke tradition and elegance.

Limited edition

Since each Morgan is handmade to order, it is safe to assume that this special Morgan by Pininfarina already has a collector waiting for it. We will know more in the coming months, in the meantime let’s read with attection what Massimo Fumarola, CEO of Morgan Motor Company, said:

“Bodywork is the very essence of creating a car, and it is something we have nurtured and protected at Morgan. We have found that working by hand and not through automation and letting the heart of the creator shape a line or object is what allows the spirit of our company to shine. For us, bodywork also has an ethical significance. Making something with our hands allows us to fully understand and appreciate raw materials and to respect the environment in which they are created. Bodywork is not constrained by trends and boundaries, as we are discovering through this collaboration. The shared passion between Morgan and Pininfarina is evident and we look forward to sharing much more with our community in due course.”
