Hot Wheels Wiki says - The DMC DeLorean is a rear-engined two-seat sports car manufactured by the DeLorean Motor Company from 1981 to 1982, the only automobile that would be produced by the company; it is occasionally known as the DMC-12, the car's internal production designation, although it was never used in any official marketing. Styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, the DeLorean was noted for its brushed stainless steel outer body panels and gullwing doors and notorious for its apparent lack of power incongruous with its look and price. The car was powered by a 2.8L PRV ZMJ-159 V6 mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic. Production began on 21 January 1981 and ended in late December 1982 shortly after DMC filed for bankruptcy for a variety of reasons. No definitive number has been given for the car's production numbers, although the number is usually somewhere between 8,500 and 9,600 cars (8,583, 9,000, 9,080 and 9,583 are commonly cited numbers).

For the Mattel Hot Wheels release, the car was re-created by Manson Cheung; despite having sculpted many Hot Wheels into 3D models in the past this was his first Hot Wheels design.

In 1985, Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis made the car a pop-culture icon in the sci-fi classic Back to the Future, in which it is portrayed as a time machine.

This casting features an opening trunk. The casting was retooled in 2015, removing the opening trunk and gaining partially open side windows.
