Everyone loves Back to the Future, so it stands to reason that everyone loves the Delorean. It’s a car that bridges the gap between car people and regular people. It’s a car that is iconic, beautifully wonderful really SLOW. I have always dreamed of owning one as a collectors car, but I don’t think I would enjoy the driving experience. That said, I also think it would be a nightmare to modify and maintain simply due to the level of custom made parts that would be required…after all, this is no WRX. Furthermore, in real life, I’m of two minds when it comes to building a fast, capable Delorean. On one hand, it needs big ups in power, grip and handling in order to backup it’s legendary status. On the other hand, there is something unsettling about big mods on such an iconic car…almost as if the parts required would be a molestation to the brand.
Fortunately, in Forza 4 there is no stigma to building a serious Delorean! This example has nearly 500 horsepower and revs to almost 8000 rpm. It’s cagtoo and stripped but still uses the factory gear ratios albeit with a limited slip diff. I thought that the old school Work wheels fit the car pretty well. They are super 80’s but the deep dish is aggressive and I painted them gray to match the factory bumpers a bit.
Without any suspension or differential tuning, it’s actually a pretty impressive drive. midrange big midrange punch but its still controllable unlike a ZR1. Actually, I think this has the makings for a very cool drift car in Forza.
