Die DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) war das Projekt des ehemaligen General-Motors-Vizepräsidenten John DeLorean, einen Sportwagen herzustellen. DMC wurde 1975 gegründet und 1981 wurde im nordirischen Dunmurry damit begonnen, ein Serienmodell mit einer Karosserie aus rostfreiem Stahl zu fertigen.

Die von Giorgetto Giugiaro gezeichnete Keilform und der matte Glanz der gebürsteten unlackierten Edelstahlkarosserie des Flügeltürers verliehen dem ersten und einzigen Modell „DeLorean DMC-12“ eine moderne und einzigartige Erscheinung. Die Produktion musste allerdings bereits nach 21 Monaten und etwa 9200 hergestellten Fahrzeugen wieder eingestellt werden.
