I think you'll find it's a combination of air and fluid, so not technically correct! :wink:

No, it's hydraulic, using nitrogen filled accumulators (basically captive bubbles). Citroen called it hydro-pneumatic, but it's not technically accurate.

It resulted in the only production car with zero body-roll, and more lateral grip than most supercars.

Their offerings for the past few years have been utter shite though, I'll grant you.

I'm sure I read somewhere recently that as well as selling refurbished cars, DeLorean MC was going to be making 25 new cars a year to meet the demand from people with more money than sense. Wonder if they'll make some improvements in the new ones or make them just as slow?
Do you think they will come with a pack of 'Brillo' pads for cleaning purposes? :lol:
Only joking...................

No need to joke, and no offense taken! Scotch Brite is the perfect thing for cleaning a DeLorean, and is available from all the DeLorean places.The owners manual actually recommends white spirit. It's easy to keep them clean...

DMC Texas are supposedly making "new" D'eLoreans through some loophole in US kit car legislation. They build the car, another place installs the engine. Their performance "stage 2" engine is about on par with an Atmo.
