from http://www.delorean-owners.org/legend/index.html -

"Technically, the DMC-12 is a solid automobile, powered by a rear-mounted,
130-horsepower Peugeot-Renault-Volvo fuel-injected, aluminum, 2.8-liter
V-6 engine with a Bosch K Jetronic fuel-injection system. It sits on a
Lotus-designed, double-Y, backbone-frame chassis and features independent
four-wheel suspension."
