[DML] ANOTHER Electric DeLorean?!

[Marty Lick <mlick27@xxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone else seen/heard about this?

The staff of Wired Magazine’s Italian publication have been hard at work
 electrofitting an original 1980s DeLorean, the build is now finishing 
up and the team is set to head off on a trip from Milan to Rome using 
Italy’s scenic backroads hopefully  in time for the Rome Film Festival. 
They partnered with eCars Now! Italy on the 
project, they had the batteries made in Korea, then shipped to Germany 
to be moulded into a shape that would fit inside a DeLorean with 
precision. The 90kW electric motor can push from 0-60 in about 4.5 
seconds and then team estimate that the car will have a range of 125-135
 miles, no word yet on whether it will reach 88 miles per hour.

As far as I can tell, there's no mention of the other Electric DeLoreans.
