STAINLESS STEEL

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The De Lorean body is made of high quality grade 304 brushed stainless steel, which gives the car
its
unique
appearance.
Damaged panels are easily replaceable by unbolting the panel from the G.R.P. body shell and replacing
with a new one. Scratches or superficial damage can be corrected using established stainless steel repair
methods.
One of the major features of the De Lorean car is its Gull Wing Doors. These are counter balanced with pre-
set torsion bars. The doors are held in the open position by the use of gas struts. The Gull Wing Doors open
in less space than conventional doors and gives easier access to the interior to the car.
The drag coefficient of the car is 0.35. Rear louvres were incorporated to improve the overall aerodynamic
drag and conserve
fuel.
The front and rear fascias are made of premoulded impact absorbing polyurethane. The fascias blend with
the stainless steel panels.
Appearance and Care
Wash the panels with warm water and a low sud detergent. Stains of tar and grease may be removed with
gasoline or white spirit.
The car should be washed before applying the polish treatment recommended by DMC, to preserve the
appearance of the stainless steel panels.
