Delorean Motor Company
West Belfast, Ireland
The DeLorean sports car was the brainchild of John DeLorean, the automotive maverick and former General motors engineer who created the Pontiac GTO in 1964. The DMC-12 with its distinctive stainless steel body and exotic gull-wing foors, debuted in 1981. By 1983, amidst finacial difficulties and prosecution on a federal drug charge to which he was later acquitted, the venture unraveled after building only 8,583 cars.
The futuristic-looking DeLorean car may be most remembered for its role in the Back to the Future film trilogy, starring Michael J. Fox.
