The Alpha5 will be sold in super-limited quantities, with a wink towards Back to the Future with 88 cars having an associated NFT, and won't be legal. The part there for Back to the Future is the 88 cars, obviously. The rest of the DeLorean Alpha5 EVs will be modified for street driving, but they'll also be part of a limited run.

Troy Beetz, Chief Marketing Officer of DeLorean Motor Company, said: "The Alpha5 is a representation of the past 40 years of DeLorean. There was this enormous responsibility to make sure we honored the history of the DeLorean brand, but an even greater responsibility in curating its future...I think we did both with the Alpha5".

DeLorean has touched so many lives and set the stage for so many memories... we are all now witnessing a new chapter of this amazing story".
