Italdesign has confirmed it will develop a new electric vehicle with DeLorean Motor Company. Its partnership with the legendary US brand goes back over 40 years.
Italdesign says they will create a ‘reimagined’, electric car featuring gullwing doors and the distinctive Italdesign styling appeal.
Historically, the DeLorean-Italdesign relationship goes back to November 1974, when Italdesign was entrusted to work on a project to create a 2-seater, rear-engined, sports car almost exclusively aimed at the American market.
Andrea Porta, Italdesign Business Development Manager, says: “With DeLorean we’re working on a car that is the authentic expression of all the services Italdesign is well-known for on an international level. Starting from the styling, as we are official partner.”
Troy Beetz, CMO, DeLorean, adds: “We are very excited that the next evolution of the DeLorean brand will be represented by our storied partnership with Italdesign and a vehicle that will showcase our vision for the future.”
The 2022 result of this privileged collaboration will be premiered at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, on August 21st, on display among vehicles representing the world automotive excellence.
Italdesign says the first step of this renewed collaboration is styling.
Further information will be disclosed during the event at Pebble Beach.
