The DeLorean Legacy Project: Angel Guerra

Penned by renowned car, motorcycle, camera, and firearm designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, the DeLorean DMC-12 is an American sports car that debuted in 1981 and despite a brief production run, it became a bonafide automotive icon when it was thrust into the cultural mainstream. Upon the DeLorean’s 40th anniversary, Spain’s Ángel Guerra (a designer for both Rimac and Bugatti) was determined to bring the steel-bodied, gull wing-doored DMC-12 squarely into the 21st century with a Next Generation concept. Co-hosting for this episode is Kat Delorean along with Angel Guerra dialing in from his home in Seville, Spain to tell us all about this revolutionary new car.

This episode is part of our ROAD TO SUCCESS SERIES - inspiring stories that help shape the future of the autosphere.
