"This section covers the present status of Project Vixen. This DeLorean is only sad for the time being, but is presently being built back into existence by a courageous character. Download the video clip to see video of Dave's car."

Lotus cars are produced using a patented process called Vacuum Assisted Resin Injection (VARI), which has been licensed to DMC and will be used to form the body parts, which will then be covered with stainless steel.

"The interior is coming along nicely, check out the turbo booster gauge on the window frame."

DeLoreans instrumentation and control layout rate as good, although the shift lever is a bit awkward for some drivers. Legroom is plentiful, and seating is clad in supple black leather, feels just as good as it looks, which is first rate.

"Notice something missing on the drivers side? Dave lost his torsion bar on the way to Cleveland."

The DeLorean was hampered partly by its Corvairish tendency for the tail to make mild, unwanted advances toward passing its front at awkward times, but more by its simple lack of power.

"With the car completely disassembled at first, Dave could have a lot of freedom to make engine modifications such as this twin turbo he installed."

It should also prove to be an economical car, thanks to its fairly tall gearing, efficient engine and slippery body shape. DeLorean are predicting U.S. EPA ratings of 23 mpg city and 32 highway.

"The metal object protruding from the spare tire well is the fuel pump. This car was great to see because it was like dissecting an animal in anatomy class; you got to see all the inner workings of the car."
