When Back to the Future debuted in 1985, the DeLorean was out of line. The DMC, assembly plant that manufactured the bug, only produced 8900 copies between 1981 and 1982. He finished bankrupt, with its founder and CEO, John DeLorean, answering a process for international cocaine trafficking - deal in which he would have gone to try to pay the company's debts.
After the film, the car became an icon, and the demand for it was upstairs. Still the auto industry never bothered to buy what remained of the DeLorean Motor Company and resurrect the car. Or in China, where everything is copied, interested in making a pirated version.
Mechanic luck English Stephen Wynne. He bought the intellectual rights of the car in 1995, after playing for 10 years a network of workshops dedicated to restoring and selling original DeLorean.
The idea of Stephen was always re-produce new DeLorean, but had a stone in the way. US law is not friendly with start ups auto: If you manufacture a dozen cars a year, need to follow the same rules as those who manufacture 10 million, which means dealing with a number of tax and legal bureaucracy impossible for a small company . Even so the first start up of the auto world to emerge in the US since the 1920s was the Tesla Motors which Elon Musk rose in the 2000s.
But the rules will change in 2017 (perhaps lobby of Apple and Google, who are a foot in this market). And because of that Stephen announced that it will ultimately produce DeLorean. The initial batch would be about 300 units sold for between US $ 80,000 and US $ 100,000. And therein lies the problem for those who live in Brazil. With this exchange shortages and the heavy burden of import duties. To go back in time, after all, you need to already have a DeLorean.
