The highly anticipated, all-electric DeLorean supercar will be fully revealed at the end of the month, before it makes its public debut at Pebble Beach in August.

DeLorean Motor Company will unveil the model on Tuesday 31 May. The revived car will take a completely different design approach from the 1980s sports coupé from which it takes its name.
Called the DeLorean EVolved, the model will be a highly modern proposition, with what look to be only subtle nods to its famous namesake.
It was originally confirmed for an unveiling on 18 August ahead of a Pebble Beach debut just three days later. Now, interested drivers can sign up for a chance to see the car 24 hours before the general public.

The first detailed preview image was revealed earlier this year. It shows off a rear end clearly designed with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency: the rear deck is tapered and houses louvres for directing airflow, the rear arches extend dramatically from the side of the car and there looks to be an extendable rear wing housed above the futuristic rear light bar.
Beyond that, the DeLorean Motor Company has not given any more clues as to the design of its first model since obtaining the rights to the DeLorean marque in 1995, save for earlier confirming it will have gullwing doors and a light-up, V-shaped motif across the front end. It has also yet to officially confirm a name, which it will save for the car's final reveal.
Texas-based DeLorean Motor Company – formed by British engineer Stephen Wynne, who acquired the rights to the original firm’s name and branding in 1995 – earlier previewed its modern-day take on the mid-engined DeLorean DMC in a cryptic tweet confirming limited details.
Accompanying hashtags suggest that it will place a more heightened focus on luxury than the 1981-82 original did.
This isn't the first time the revived marque has hinted at plans to bring back the DMC. Last year, 40 years to the day since the launch of the car, design house Italdesign showed a similar teaser image, and more recently has also previewed the Pebble Beach-bound car, confirming its involvement in the project.

I'm excited to see what new version will look like, especially if it not billed as yet another concept, but an actual production model. I would hope to see this current take on the DeLorean expand into a premium line of BEV vehicles, with the EVolve being the halo car for the automaker! There are a number of Tier 1 supplies, who have announced EV platforms that are capable for no less then 400 bhp and ~300 miles of range (or more). The original DMC-12 was never a track star, but was fast enough and was definitely a head turner! With the EVolve emulating the originals style, but now with an emphasis on luxury, I could see room in a brand portfolio for a sedan, SUV/CUV and a small, driver's oriented two coupe in the vein of the MX-5/Cayman/Boxter! Wishful thinking? Sure, but can't a guy dream out loud sometimes?!
Drove one from the coke-powered factory in period. Absolutely shocking thing. Hopeless performance, unsorted handling, poor build quality. Inferior in every way to contemporary Alpines. Jayzee sure took everyone for a ride.
Wot, no flux capacitor?
