Summary
From Hemmings
The 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 is a rear-engine sports car most famously known for its role as the modified time machine in the Back to the Future film trilogy.

Key Specifications Body Panels: Brushed SS304 stainless steel.
More details
Door Style: Counterbalanced gull-wing doors. Chassis: Lotus-derived double-Y steel backbone. Engine: 2.85-liter Peugeot-Renault-Volvo (PRV) V6.
Horsepower: 130 hp at 5,500 rpm. Torque: 153 lb-ft at 2,750 rpm. Transmissions: 5-speed manual or 3-speed automatic.
Unique Design Features Stainless Exterior: The car left the factory completely unpainted. Owners must use specialized techniques to clean the brushed metal. Gull-Wing Doors: Torsion bars counterbalanced the weight, meaning they required very little clearance to open sideways.
Fiberglass Structure: The exterior metal panels are affixed directly to a structural fiberglass underbody. More details coming soon!
