80s-Inspired Electric Vehicles

The Conceptual DeLorean E by Onkar H Imagines a Retro Future

The DeLorean DMC-12 is an instantly recognizable vehicle from the 80s thanks large part to the Back to the Future more franchise, so the conceptual DeLorean E seen here is intended to help bring it into the modern era for fans to covet.

Designed by Onkar H, the vehicle imagines what a present-day version of the car might look like and is paired with a total of four high-performance motors along with a mid-mounted battery pack. This gives the two-seater electric vehicle all the power it needs to gracefully glide along the roadway as it catches the attention of nearby onlookers.

The conceptual DeLorean E is imagined with a rising windshield in place of the traditional gull wing doors on the DMC-12 to offer access for the driver and passenger.
