DeLorean Exhibits "Alpha5 Plasmatail" and "Omega" Concept Vehicles

Shortly after revealing its Alpha5 electric sports car, the revamped DeLorean Motor Company offered the first look at its 2024 “Alpha5 Plasmatail” and 2040 “Omega” concept vehicles at Monterey Car Week. The Alpha5 Plasmatail is the most road-ready of the two, appearing in wagon form with the addition of a stylized rear hatch while maintaining the Alpha5’s original two-gullwing-door configuration. Alternatively, the DeLorean Omega delivers a vision of the distant future as a Baja-themed off-road racer.

While maintaining the sharp aerodynamic lines and thin LED headlights from the Alpha5, specs for the Plasmatail include an estimated zero to 60 mph time of 2.99 seconds and a 100+ kWh battery pack offering more than 300 miles of range. Meanwhile, the 2040 Omega is hailed by DeLorean as a “complete departure from traditional automotive design,” and looks to be something straight out of a cyberpunk video game featuring moon rover-style wheels, a front spoiler, cannon-shaped headlights, no sided mirrors, fin-shaped translucent rear headlights, and a dumbbell-shaped roofline.

With the Alpha5 expected to release in 2024 as its first public offering, look for the new Delorean Motor Company to continue to build out its signature aesthetic.
