The DeLorean DMC: Bankrupt to the Future! | The Incredible Rise and Fall of John DeLorean ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! #DeLorean #JohnDeLorean #BackToTheFuture The DeLorean DMC-12 is one of the most recognisable cars ever built. With its stainless-steel body, gullwing doors and starring role in Back to the Future, it became a global icon. But behind the legend lies one of the most extraordinary business stories ever told. This documentary follows the remarkable life of John DeLorean, the brilliant General Motors executive who helped create the legendary Pontiac GTO before leaving one of the world's biggest car manufacturers to build his own dream. Backed by millions in government funding and built in Northern Ireland during one of the country's most turbulent periods, the DeLorean promised to revolutionise the sports car market. Instead, the company became one of the biggest financial disasters in automotive history. Sales disappointed. Money ran out. Then everything became even more unbelievable. John DeLorean was arrested in an FBI cocaine sting that shocked the world. Television cameras captured one of America's most famous businessmen being led away in handcuffs. Although he was later acquitted after successfully arguing entrapment, the DeLorean Motor Company had already collapsed. It looked like the end... Until Hollywood stepped in. Just three years later, Back to the Future transformed the DeLorean from a commercial failure into one of the most famous cars ever made. Today it is arguably more recognisable than many Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches. This is the unbelievable true story of ambition, innovation, scandal, failure and one of the greatest second acts in business history.
