The original DeLorean has gone down in history as one of the most iconic vehicles ever thanks in part to a starring role in the Back to the Future franchise, so this 2018 DeLorean DMC-12 concept identities what a new version might look like today.
Conceptually designed by Spencer Kim for Drivetribe, the vehicle features the class gull-wing doors along with a rear engine and a rear wheel drive setup. The silver aesthetic of the original vehicle was taken into account with the premium metallic finish of the car seen here and has been expertly finished with strategic black accents to really make it pop.
The conceptual 2018 DeLorean DMC-12 is a modern take on a classic that looks to both the past and the present for inspiration.
