The remaining + existing prototype has been restored and is displayed at the AACA Museum in + Hershey, Pennsylvania. The 2nd prototype was sent to Lotus Cars for development + and evaluation and has been reported destroyed. + question: Are there any Delorean prototypes still in existence? +- answer: DeLoreans, early-production models in particular, suffered from poor + build quality as well as mechanical issues. Early-production cars needed as + much as 200 hours of work at DMC Quality Assurance Centers prior to being + shipped to dealerships for delivery. DMC eventually sent 30 factory workers + to the quality centers in the US to learn about the problems and how to fix + them. Quality did improve over time, and by 1982 many of the quality issues + had been resolved. A total of four recalls were issued by the factory + to correct problems such as a sticking throttle, front-suspension issues and + an inertia switch. + question: Did DeLorean have quality problems? +- answer: As much as 200 hours of work at DMC Quality Assurance Centers were required + prior to shipping cars to dealerships for delivery to customers. + question: Did DeLorean suffer from quality control issues? +- answer: The top speed of the DeLoran DMC was tested to be 110 mph, not as fast + as the claimed value of 130 mph. + question: How fast was the DeLorean? +- answer: The DeLorean has a four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs, + and telescopic shock absorbers. The front suspension uses double wishbones, + while the rear is a multi-link setup. + question: What is the suspension setup of the DMC DeLorean? +- answer: "DMC's comparison literature noted that the DeLorean could achieve 0\u2013\ + 60 miles per hour (0\u201397 km/h) in 8.8 seconds when equipped with a manual\ + \ transmission, but other sources indicate an acceleration time of 9.5 seconds.\ + \ When equipped with a manual transmission, the DeLorean accelerated from\ + \ 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 10.5 seconds as tested by Road\ + \ & Track magazine.

The front suspension uses double wishbones, + while the rear is a multi-link setup. + question: What kind of suspension did the DeLorean have? +- answer: Stainless-steel panels were fixed to a fiberglass underbody. The + underbody was affixed to a steel backbone chassis with Y-frames at either + end, which was derived from the Lotus Esprit platform.
