What a great, nostalgic video, people here hate the music..i LOVE it, so early 80's...the same sort of music in early 80's zombie horror movies!
I guess they used various library music.
I NEED THIS MUSIC
Knight Industries - Boards of Canada’s third album ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’ springs to mind.👍🏻🙂
Yes, this is a thriller soundtrack, and a thriller crash test (40 Mph) goes to a coffin.
i would rather listen to this than justin bieber
When the future really was the future...
This was likely more like 1979. The car was eventually known as just the "DeLorean", where here it's known as the "DMC-12". But this seems to be a video to encourage dealers to sign up, which would have been way before 1981, as this is when DeLoreans were selling.
Not really even in their promo showcasing their prototype video that's from the seventies they refer to the car as a DeLorean they actually toggled the DMC 12 and the DeLorean name back and forth of course it was really primarily after the company went bust and everyone seen Back to the Future years later that everyone commonly really then wanted to call it a DeLorean but as far as DeLorean motor company went it was either or but it was more so the DMC 12!!
3:36 You will never hear this statement again.
Daniel Hughes lol that statement would be a controversy magnet today lol
This music was very modern in the early 80’s, and an example of modernist/minimalist style and the “technological future” that the people of that time felt was the future. In an artistic sense, this music is quite attractive to the ears; Think “Com Truise” or if you’re older, “Tangerine Dream”.
it was most likely played on an Oberheim OBX-A.
This video creeps me out big time.
Yeah.... me too. A lot of futuristic stuff from the 1980's creeps me out for some reason.
They messed up the tracking. It's too slow.
Robot narrator does not like picking out wallpaper. LOL
3:28 - that was unexpected lol
This is a gem of a video! Great history!👌😎👍
Jeez, I wish I was I could go back to the past with the same knowledge I have now.
Thank for sharing! I sat inside a DeLorean a couple of weeks ago - but have yet to test drive one before buying it :).
A friend of mine has one that he let me drive. It's definitely fun to drive.
This whole film is oddly intimidating.
Buy a DeLorean or else!
Because you aren’t fit to own one.
Hey do you have part II of this or do you know where I can find a copy I can't seem to find it online anymore.
I'm assuming the tape is just giving out, thus the quality of sound, but besides that it's cool.
Now I truly understand that S.A.I.N.T. Number 5 was clearly inspired by the DeLorean. I have a new appreciation for Short Circuit, which was one of my favorite films as a child.
Absolutely legendary.
This is where Boards of Canada got their sound.
NESherv I want this background music. BOC is awesome.
god...having to listen to this really would make u enthusiastic about selling
I have wanted this car since I was 5 years old. I am almost 24
I've wanted this car since I was 16 years old. I'm almost 56, ... ;)
Me too, now I'm 35 and I'm pretty sure it will never happen.
I have wanted this car since I was 5. And now I'm 38.
Buy it then lol
So did you get the car?
I had a 1985 Mazda RX-7 in 1997, it was a fun car.
I MUST HAVE A COPY OF THIS!
Play at 1.25 speed
Quite an improvement and a touch less creepy
Im video bei die 9:59 minute ist das innenraum etwas andere als die bekanten Delorean innenraum ,auch das lenker ,what exactly happened? the first models were like that and changed after 1980?
the DMC-12 may be terrible but its iconic
Toaster how do you figure it was a terrible car? Is it something that you read it and made you believe that it was? I have had mine for 14 years and it's practically a daily driver and I drive it to work twice a week at a 164 miles a day across two states to get to work and I've never had any reliability issues. You should get your facts straight first before you say they were a terrible car and a lot of people like to talk trash about this car because they never experienced one and find out that they are actually quite reliable
@@silverwings11035 u still alive?
6:25 Time Travel forshadowing
I love some of those meaningless 80's computer graphics that try to convey techno sophistication but mean nothing!
KITT's Brother?
Lol
They were originally designed to have the rotary engine because they were light and powerfull but the engine change came after the early 80's U.S.fuel crisis as the down side to these engines were that they were thirsty because they had to rev high for that power. Had they of had these engines then they would have been very fast and handled far better than most of the performance cars of the day. They were built across the road from my granparents flat in Dunmurry , peace !
Sold!!.. where can I get one???
@hazzardwantcookies LOL - me too! Well said!
I dont get it. The prototype shown in this film contained a Citroen Wankel engine, and they offered the PRV which wasnt put in until they came out with the pilot cars
Nathan brought me here!
Nathan Barnett has sent me here!
I just came
These videos are simply fantastic, and so awful... A piece of car making history... Impressive computer graphics for the time. This is before 81 for sure: the car design was not even completed... This looks like a "We plan to ..." marketing tool to get the dealerships to jump in, and also to provide complementary fundings with a mandatory 25K investment for dealership acceptance. Plus a dealership base to get the additional fundings. Great stuff for Delorean car history fans!
This car could take America out of financial ruin.
It's time to start manufacturing this once again on a large scale - with todays technology - and of course - a FLUX Capacitor.
@Death trooper So You Are Telling This CarIs Crap???
It`s available to to purchase on april 1st 2012,
in the spec delorean states the car can reach speeds of around 88 mph.
Dealership program started in 1977...
See dmcnews.com/faq/d_app1.htm to see the dealer application forms.
The video was most likely produced by then.
The music; Nooo! I’ll never stop the corporation!!!
The narrator sounds like a text to speech yet sounds so human. Now that's early 80s
I wonder what DeLorean thought of the Fiero. It was a muiti-layered body car with an under body. It also used parts from other cars too.
The Fiero was a dangerous car; good luck finding them today.
Tibor Roussou there is still plenty of Fieros out there and it was far from a dangerous car. The early cars had issues because they were brand-new and using a 4-cylinder and didn't have a heat shield for the wiring harness and when it leaks oil out onto the exhaust manifold that's when it cause fires. After they fix that issue it wasn't a problem anymore
Rumor has it DeLorean actually designed the Fiero. The designs were left behind when he left GM. Too many design similarities between the DMC-12 and the Fiero for it to be a coincidence.
@@knytrydr73 He left GM a full 10 years before the Fiero, plus at that stage in his life he wasn't designing stuff like he was in the 50-60s. He had a small team make the first Delorean prototype that was nothing like the production model.
@@mcqueenfanman - The interiors of the Fiero and DMC- 12 are virtually identical and I don't believe in coincidences.
I own a 1982 Delorean and like all Delorean's is powered by a 2.8 litre injected V6, why did you mention rotory engine? The same engine is used by Lotus, Volvo and other car makers of the time and is simple to maintain and service!
Ooh lucky! I want to own one someday
They originally wanted the rotary engine in the DMC. I forget why that didn't happen.
When this baby hits 88mph your gonna see some serious shit!
Ufff!!!
So, they wanted it to be around 2200lb and have 0-60 in less than 8 seconds. What we got was 500lbs heavier and more than 2.5 seconds slower to 60.
retro inception music at 4:45
Whats with the futuristic twilight zone music? kinda creepy :@
put on 1.5
they should have kept the steering wheel of this prototype on the final version... :)
We’re is the fluxcompacetor ?
U joking
modern cars look like toys / I like all the new stuff, but I prefer to drive with honor!
TRON
Can anybody explain to me how a 130 bhp car is considered to be a performance car?
My current four door sedan has 140 bhp!
IIRC originally the engines was going to be a V8 but they couldn't obtain it so had to settle for a V6. So the car still was a sports car (albeit in the lower margin) and with a reduced performance engine. Also 0-60 in 8 seconds was bloody quick for most cars back then.
Rotory engines have one setback. Nobody knows how to fix them when they break, as all engines do. Most garages just arent familiar with the pistonless design.
The Delorean used a V6.
you gotta pay extra
I'm working on re creating the music for this!
Please let me know when you complete it. I absolutely love it!
So that's what an 81 DeLorean looks like
82
the creepy robotic tones wore me down in the middle and I had to leave
That raw early eighties synth just fantastic
But where do you keep the briefcase of coke?
Under the front "hood"
Logan five... you are to find sanctuary... and destroy it...
?
Did the 8 sec thing sound like a dub over. Bet they wanted to be faster. The US version took 10 sec to get to 60. Roads? To get up to 60 we will need a lot of road...and time.
mengle2004 it was 10 seconds for the automatic and 8 1/2 seconds for a 5-speed
What about the flux capacitor
Your friends call you the guy who goes for the obvious joke. They laugh to stop you from feeling bad.
U
Joking
☝🏻😒
130HP and lackluster excelleration is not a sports car. However, the LX version has a whopping *_*300HP_** . ☝🏻😳
feel like im in a episode of westworld-=- where nothing can go wRong
Machine Gun Nest hahahaaa
this explains why it makes such a good time machine... its light weight and well balanced...
robot narrator!! =)
BOC?
XD
Interesting video, but no mention of company capitalization, product warranty, expected/guaranteed quality of the product, market studies or target customer. This really was a shell game. An 80's typical Ford, GM, Chrysler family car could do 100 plus mph, while the Delorean speedometer when only to 85.
it only showed 85mph as it was federal law at the time, the Corvette of the save time still only showed 85 as did anything else produced for then. Speedo displays don't reflect the top speed. There was a 140mph speedo for Europe etc.
Sounds like I'm watching Logan's Run.
Awesome car even if they were slow as balls
+billystutz55 That's gag in the "back to the future" movies, Doc Brown had to get the Delorean time machine up to 88 mph, when top speed was 85 mph.
+billystutz55 The good thing is that De Lorean specialists can now re-engineer these cars, with more power (200 hp), better electricals and re-fitted panels ...basically making the what it SHOULD have been like..
+nofrackingzone All 80s cars had 85 mph speedos. The top speed of a DeLorean was 135.
Ramblin -you know shit. I was an adult in the 80's, Even a plain jane Ford (same for Chevy, & Chrysler) speedometer top end was 120 mph, and could cruise at 100 mph without effort. I've done that many times on the turnpikes. Back in the day the only models that show 85 were imports, mostly from Japan.
+nofrackingzone The Corvettes had em, trucks had em. Not every car had them though. It was a move by the Jimmy Carter administration to make 55 mph look fast on the instrument cluster. If I remember correctly it was only widely implemented from 79 to around 83 or 84. A few late production DeLoreans (1983) had 140 mph speedos. I assure you I know what I'm talking about.
and i thought it was futuristic to exchange to a wankel engine,i didn't know this info earlier.....yes with a renesis from an rx-8 would be better.....
Only look futuristic, but not safe car (look crash test this car on RUclips in 40 Mph, tragedy).
Doesn’t play at correct speed
He sounds like a callboy!
Ass mounted engine? lol
Porsche 911 = same.
would you like to play a game lololo
advanced auto protection my ass thats why they stopped making them
No jack delorian filed bankruptcy
NOREM AKO DITO MADAMI🔥
A S S M O U N T E D E N G I N E 6:13
Lol
CAP 1:00
you could crash at 140mp/h and you would survived!!!!!!!!
The question is how would you go that fast in a delorian
The Tesla Model S of its time.
In 1981 i'm was 3 years old.
I stupid.
Shame, i loved this car like every other kid in the 80s, but now that i could afford one i learned how crappy they really are.
shawoo lmao! Where do you get your unknowledgeable information from? Have you had any experience with this car at all or are you just hearing from somebody else running her mouth talking shit about something they don't know? These cars are actually built way better than they were given credit for considering it was a brand new car built with different types of techniques compared to other car companies and I've had my car for 14 years and it's a bulletproof car that I have no problem driving everyday which I basically do and I've driven across several states with my car and I don't carry any spare parts or tools with me whatsoever. Maybe you should do a little bit of research before you go running your mouth about something you don't know because he's cars are not crappy at all and they're only crappy for people that try to do half-ass jerry-rigged repair jobs on them and they end up Catching Fire and burning to the ground or running like shit
And as great as these cars look... They werent fast, they werent dependable, and they werent actually as good on fuel as they were made out to be. They only got about 21 mpg highway. Not bad but not great either. I had a diesel truck that got that... Just saying... and john delorean made one mistake... He wanted to get rich, not produce a quality car. All in all (even though I still want one lol) delorean was a fail. Sorry.
If it looks good to feels good, plus it's still being made today I believe.
