## Overview

[edit]

The Alpha5 was revealed on May 29, 2022.[4][5]

The Alpha5 harkens back to its predecessor with its louvered rear window and gullwing doors.[6] It is designed by Italdesign. It offers a full-width light strip on the back, and the DeLorean logo is also illuminated.[7] While no DeLorean factory has been publicly announced, the company did state that only 9,531 of the Alpha5 could be made, just one more than DMC built of the original DeLorean[1] however in March 2023, the production estimated was reduced by half to about 4,000 units.[8] CNET estimates a price around $125,000,[9] however the company did not announce any price indication. The first concept car was revealed on August 29, 2022.[1] at Pebble Beach, CA during Car Week.
