The legendary DeLorean DMC-12 Time Machine

The DeLorean DMC-12 Time Machine is an iconic vehicle that was first produced in 1981 by the DeLorean Motor Company. This generation was manufactured until 1983. John DeLorean, a former General Motors executive, was the visionary behind this unique vehicle. He aimed to create a car that not only offered technological innovations but also a futuristic design. Under the leadership of John DeLorean and with the support of the legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, the DMC-12 became one of the most distinctive cars of its time. The stainless steel frame and the distinctive gull-wing doors gave it a futuristic appearance.
