I saw that car at the car show during the ALMS 12 hours of Sebring this year. There's a thread about it somewhere. 20B power baby! The car is sweet, except that it's painted black and it could be a better paint job. Other than that the car is very clean and if I remember correctly the guy even swapped the guages out of a Cosmo.

There is even a 6 speed porsche tranny in it also. Just so cool they got it to mount in the rear, and ain't the DeLorean RWD, or FWD?

prv v6, they took some other engine and glued, yes glued 2 more cylinders onto it; not one of the better power plants in automotive history

It has about 115hp~ from a V6. There were some rare-as-**** twin turbo engines out there but good luck finding them. Originally Mr. Delorean wanted to put a 12a in there, it would have lightened it up some, that V6 is a monster! But yeah, GM didnt like that idea...
