Her title is Kat DeLorean – and sure, she actually is the daughter of the 80s automotive icon who slapped a Renault V6 right into a stainless steel-bodied rendition of a gull winged Bertone idea earlier than getting arrested for trying to smuggle $24 million of cocaine. That’s a lot of cocaine (particularly with these good, 1984 {dollars}).
John was finally acquitted, however his legacy was … let’s say, “tarnished.”
Regardless of that, the world grew to like his creation, the DMC-12. And, forty years later, the corporate was reborn with forty years of historical past and auto trade veteran Joost de Vries on the helm. Or so we thought.
