Electrogenic has finally given the DeLorean DMC-12 the jolt it so desperately needed. Remember that iconic gull-winged wonder from "Back to the Future"? Yeah, the one that looked like it could hit 88 mph, but in reality, struggled to outrun a mobility scooter.
Well, fret no more, fellow gearheads, because this baby's been electrified! Electrogenic ripped out that wheezy old V6 and replaced it with a battery pack and an electric motor that would make Doc Brown proud. Now, instead of puttering around like a golf cart, this DeLorean can actually scoot!

It's not just about the speed, though. This electromod DeLorean is packed with 215 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque. That means it can go from 0 to 62 mph in under 5 seconds. That's almost as quick as saying "Great Scott!" And with a 150-mile range, you can even take it for a decent joyride without having to worry about running out of juice. Plus, it's got fast charging capabilities, so you can plug it in and get back to time-traveling in no time.
The electromod kit from Electrogenic doesn't mess with the original car's classic design. It's a "drop-in" kit, meaning it fits snugly where the old gas guzzler used to be. So, you still get all the style and nostalgia of the original DeLorean, but with the added bonus of modern electric technology.

Now, I know it all sounds great, but how much is this gonna cost me? Well, hold on tight to your wallet, because this electrifying upgrade will set you back a cool $82,000 to $107,000, depending on the condition of your donor car. Ouch, that's a pretty penny and then some. But honestly - who needs a college fund when you can own a piece of cinematic history that can actually move?
So, if you're a DeLorean enthusiast with a spare $82,000 burning a hole in your pocket, this might just be the upgrade you've been waiting for. It's the perfect way to bring this iconic car into the 21st century, while still keeping all the charm and nostalgia of the original. And who knows, with all that electric power, you might even be able to hit 88 mph and travel through time. Just kidding, that's still science fiction.
In all seriousness, though, this Electrogenic upgrade is a pretty impressive feat of engineering. It's a testament to the fact that even the most classic of cars can be modernized and improved without sacrificing their original appeal. So, here's to the future of classic cars, may it be as bright and electrifying as this DeLorean DMC-12.
