The iconic DeLorean DMC-12 could be relaunched with electric power, according to the current owners of the brand. In a blog post published overnight, the company explained legal challenges and environmental regulations had complicated the roll out of long-awaited petrol-powered replicas. “We hoped to get into production by 2017 and get three to four years out of it before having to take on the engineering for a new powertrain (engine),” the blog post said.
