You're all right actually.
It was a PRV engine.. Puegot, Renault, Volvo.
And to whomever said it was a piece of ****.. long after your car rusts and sits crumbling in a junkyard the Delorean will be running in mint condition. I thought it was a great idea to make a stainless steel car.. they'd last frigging forever. No buying a new car every 10 years.. keep replacing the engine and it'd last 50..

well, I guess they make money relying on the fact that we have to replace our car every 10 years...

why is it that more companies don't make a stainless steel car? is it the expense?

No paint would mean the car would be 1k (?) less MSRP. Maybe the initial cost of production is much higher.
The delorean was the only car to ever get a 100% survivability in a 60 mph front collision.. so it makes sense from a safety standpoint.
Imagine a stainless FD. It would outlast 10 sets of apex seals.
