Filed under: Classics , Technology , Electric This electric DeLorean is just a prototype, but our sister publication, Translogic got to take it for a spin and found that a 260-horsepower electric motor finally makes the DMC-12 the sports car everyone has always wanted it to be. While we get to see plenty of footage of the car lapping Houston Motorsports Park , this episode also includes an interview with DeLorean Motor Company CEO Stephen Wynne.

Wynne tells Translogic that the car is expected to sell for between $95,000-$100,000
