25 of History’s Biggest Automotive Flops and Failures

15. DeLorean DMC-12

I love Back to the Future, and I even love the DeLorean! But the facts don’t lie: this thing was doomed from the start.

Even if John DeLorean wasn’t involved in an FBI drug bust, this car’s flimsy design and a motor that can’t even reach 88 MPH made it an unpopular pick. Why do you think Marty was so surprised Doc Brown chose this silly thing to make a time machine out of?
