1982 DeLorean
‘Back To The Future’ is often credited with bringing the DeLorean DMC-12 into the mainstream. But it was Miami Vice that gave the car widespread recognition in front of millions of TV viewers. The DMC-12 was the perfect car to be featured on a show like Miami Vice because it was flashy and expensive (via Robb Report).
Legendary auto executive John Delorean designed the DMC-12. While the DMC-12 wasn’t as notable as a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, it was certainly a rare sports car. The performance of the DMC-12 was nothing to sneeze at either, as the car got positive marks from the automotive press.
