In this new episode of Drive channel’s TUNED show, Matt Farah gets behind the wheel of the car that every middle-aged American petrolhead used to dream about when he was little!

Yep, it’s the DeLorean DMC-12. It might look very old-fashioned today, but back in the 80s those gullwing doors earned it the reputation as an outworldly super car, even though it was quite ordinary underneath. Alright, maybe it’s role as a time machine in some Hollywood films also helped.

This DeLorean Matt drives, though, is not a standard DMC. It’s got a 575hp Grand National engine in it. Now we’re talking.
