Is there a classic car better-suited to being swapped from petrol to electricity than a DeLorean DMC-12? World-famous for its role in Back to The Future, the stainless steel wedge of 1980s cool has always been a car that looks incredible, but was let down by a characterless and underpowered engine.
So what if that engine is taken out and replaced by a battery and an electric motor? That’s exactly what a British company called Electrogenic has done, while leaving almost everything else exactly as it was. The exposed metal bodywork, the gull-wing doors and the instantly-recognisable styling all remain, but now the car has performance to match the looks – plus powerful air conditioning and, yes, a flux capacitor installed between the two seats.
