DeLorean teases full-width taillight, louvered rear window

The new electric DeLorean EVolved is coming into focus piece by piece, ahead of a full reveal this summer

For better or worse, DeLoreans and the Back to the Future film franchise will forever be joined at the hip. But on May 4, the recently reborn automaker thought it’d offer a nod to a different sci-fi movie universe, with a teaser of its upcoming EVolved’s blade-like taillight.

What better day than Star Wars Day to show off the car’s trick full-width rear LED lamps? We’re a little doubtful the element will light up left to right and come with a vaguely fwoom sound effect, but we do appreciate the subtle nod to the piece being like a lightsaber.

Less Star Wars-y but still neat is what appears to be a louvered rear window on the back of the Italdesign-penned new DeLorean. Those are an obvious throwback to the original DMC-12, and from what we know so far, the gullwing doors will make it to production too. (Would it even be legal for them to make a DeLorean without them?)

We also get a glimpse in this new teaser of the illuminated company logo; not lit up are the parallel hash-marks just under the full-width LED blade, which we figure will act as the brake lights and turn signals. All in all, the EVolved DeLorean looks a lot curvier than it’s planar, wedge-shaped forebear.

How exactly could it’d ever gone from such a chiseled, angular aesthetic to this more organic form? Well, to fill in the gaps, between now and the car’s August 18 debut, Italdesign apparently plans to reveal never-before-seen images of a 1990, 2000, and 2010 DeLorean that the firm had penned as an exercise in each of those respective years, specifically charting that hypothetical evolution.

Expect to see the new DeLorean on the lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this summer where it will make its debut. The company says it’s just the first in a range of new cars it has planned—we can’t wait to see what else it has up its sleeve. May the Fourth Be With You!
