If the future is electric, then the Back To The Future car has arrived—at least as an electric concept. The famous DeLorean DMC12 gullwing, stainless steel car is back from the reincarnated DeLorean Motor Company. On Tuesday it revealed its Alpha5 concept car as an allelectric DeLorean with strong Porsche vibes.

DMC, which is no longer the failed auto company started by John DeLorean in 1975, but a rebooted classic car parts brand, first teased a product revival in April. This week, the first images and basic details of the preproduction car were released about the Alpha5, including its name.

The same firm which designed the original DMC12 in the 1970s, Italdesign, is behind the new electrified version’s styling. Now owned by Volkswagen AG, the Alpha5 bears an unmistakable resemblance to Italdesign’s 2019 DaVinci concept car and the hallmarks of other redesign Italdesign ideas, as well as some trademark DeLorean ones.
