The DeLorean Motor Company is synonymous with the only model it ever produced - the DMC-12. Originally conceived as a mid-engine sportscar, the futuristic-looking car had to be redesigned into a rear-engine edition to accommodate the big, heavy V6 powerplant. The Delorean is probably most famous for its star-turn in the "Back to the Future" movies. The manufacturer had already gone bankrupt in 1982, however, after making just 9,000 vehicles.
