We may have already driven DMC's electric Delorean, but Matt Farah does it on video. So here it is, and now let's see if we can get out of this post without any Back to the Future references. Instead, let's pretend the Delorean starred in another 1985 film, Brewster's Millions, with Richard Pryor and John Candy.

On this episode of Tuned, Matt Farah talks Delorean upkeep with Delorean Motor Company (DMC) President Stephen Wynne at the company's headquarters in Houston, and tours DMC's amazing stockpile of original Delorean parts. He also gets to test their new prototype fully-electric Delorean, and finds out that it's not like driving its close analog, the Tesla roadster. There's also a cameo by the "Jalopnik themed," Forza 4 wrapped Delorean. Represent.

Anyway, it's like that scene in Brewster's Millions when Richard Pryor had to spend $30 million within 30 days to inherit $300 million, and he drives 88 mph, goes back in time and buys Oklahoma.
