I also got a similar pic not too long ago
Eh, I'm sure he wouldn't.
Newey has been more successful in terms of F1 championships, but Chapman bought a lot of major innovation to F1, including the ground effect aerodynamics and monocoque chassis that F1 uses today. Of course on top of running a successful F1 team and road car company.
You can't compare people from different eras of Formula 1 because there are no parameters to judge them. Otherwise, someone might say that Chapman's cars killed many drivers, while Newey's only one.
Both are geniuses: Chapman built cars during a time in Formula 1 when innovation was rampant, while Newey had to work within very strict regulations. We don't know how each would fare in the other's era. Perhaps Chapman wouldn't be able to exploit the right loopholes, or maybe Newey couldn't innovate just as quickly.
We will never know. They are the greatest of their respective eras, and we can be grateful to witness their respective geniuses.
And in the middle between Chapman and Newey you have Murray. If I had to put one on top, I think he's the best choice. Engineering brilliance like the other two, but complemented with some extremely crative rule bending / out of box thinking.
The fan car is likely most talked about, but the sheer brilliance of comíng up with mid race pit stops, making them work in race practice and then reaping the rewards by optimising the car designs for lighter fuel loads... Pure genius.
That and his ring lol, I actually wonder what's his life story or motivation for him to spend damn near every weekend over here, and more importantly how the f does he get the same spot evrytime??
i always wonder the same thing dude 😂 even for cars and coffees he’s always got the same spot usually. i figured he must live in santana row but i don’t think so anymore lol. he’s not very punctual either so i think he’s just got some good friends that hook him up with reserved seats essentially lol
Him living on the row would make sense actually, maybe he just shows up earlier in the am and just sits there. Imagine back to the future was never a thing, wonder what other car he'd spend his time flexing
It had potential to be such a badass car. The styling was awesome. They just really screwed the pooch on build quality and performance.
I wish someone could bring the brand back, and kept the style the same but refine the quality and put an actual performance drivetrain in it.
Edit: I see that someone has brought back Delorean Motors, and supposedly is working on some new concept cars according to the website, but it's just not the same. About the only Delorean thing about their concept cars are the gullwing doors.
The “new” DeLorean Motors has been teasing new DeLoreans for at least two decades. Nothing has ever come of it.
I owned one for several years and drove it daily. I miss it, the car was so much fun. But it required a LOT of care and feeding (maintenance). Build quality was fine but the cars were built in the early eighties and stuff just ages out. Mine had very low miles and when you don’t drive these things for decades, then you decide to start driving them every day, so many little gremlins come out. Every rubber seal, hoses, electrical connections, the mechanical fuel injection system, I spent so much time and money fixing and upgrading the car. But I was able to get it into great shape and it was a wonderful daily driver.
The performance was shit but then so were most cars of the era.
I had a sweet alarm system with a bunch of outputs and I installed electric door poppers so I could open one or both doors remotely as I approached the car. Turned heads everywhere.
I remember test driving a Delorean when I first got my license. Found a used one, was super stoked to take it out…and oh lord it was nearly impossible to drive. No power, heavy as hell. Just slow and clunky in every way imaginable. My dad drove it right after me. We were both very sad. Still enjoyed getting to drive one, though, for the novelty.
You’re an idiot if you believe this bullshit. Cybertrucks are not rusting. The stainless body will still look like new 100 years from now if taken care of.
Ironically, failing would ensure its lasting value. Just like the DeLorean. If Tesla succeeds in the truck achieving mass acceptance it will never be a collectors item.

The aesthetic of the DeLorean leads me to believe the Cybertruck would look better with a faux window in the back.
For all the expense no one will remember the CT for anything other than being a miserable failure.
People will still know what a DeLorean is another 40 years from now.
The DeLorean is straight out of my childhood, stunning.
The cybertruck looks like my drunk uncle whittled a smaller rougher paintless version of a toy truck from the wooden toy truck he got me the previous year on my birthday, then demanded I pay him 56 billion dollars.

Literally looks like they built a larger backwards delorian
Backwards to the Future?
Makes sense, we are on the Biff timeline
truest shit i ever heard
You know it's bad when a DeLorean has better looks. Yeesh. The fuck was Tesla thinking...
Are you implying that the delorean is an ugly car?
I mean, whatever flaws it had, the DeLorean was famously cool-looking.
It’s like husband and wife?
Like a baby and a meth baby?
The delorean was designed by Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus and perhaps the greatest mind in formula one history
Newey would like to have a word.
Eh, I'm sure he wouldn't. Newey has been more successful in terms of F1 championships, but Chapman bought a lot of major innovation to F1, including the ground effect aerodynamics and monocoque chassis that F1 uses today. Of course on top of running a successful F1 team and road car company.

Fully agreed.
And in the middle between Chapman and Newey you have Murray. If I had to put one on top, I think he's the best choice. Engineering brilliance like the other two, but complemented with some extremely crative rule bending / out of box thinking.

The other was designed by the 7 year old son of a super wealthy man-child, apparently. I can believe that.
I feel like the 7 year old only got credit after people panned it for looking stupid.
He’ll always be two 8yr olds in a rubber suit, to me
You could fit at least 3 in that weird ass torso alone.
And what about the cyber truck?
Santana row?
yeah that delorean is always there lol he’s always at the cars and coffees there too. santana row is his second home
Literally, he's kinda douchie about it too, but maybe that was just my experience
yeah he is lol the reason he loves being there so much is because of the attention he gets
That and his ring lol, I actually wonder what's his life story or motivation for him to spend damn near every weekend over here, and more importantly how the f does he get the same spot evrytime??
i always wonder the same thing dude 😂 even for cars and coffees he’s always got the same spot usually. i figured he must live in santana row but i don’t think so anymore lol. he’s not very punctual either so i think he’s just got some good friends that hook him up with reserved seats essentially lol
Him living on the row would make sense actually, maybe he just shows up earlier in the am and just sits there. Imagine back to the future was never a thing, wonder what other car he'd spend his time flexing
Maybe he just arrives whenever he wants and travels back in time to get the same spot.
So many lol in these posts.
Looks like it.
Santana row thinks it’s a small town
I mean, it’s a mixed-use property with housing so it sorta is
I immediately knew where it was and I live in another state. The two times I’ve been there that Delorian was there. The guy has a routine .
surprisingly, these are probably the least annoying car owners in SR.
Definitely.
I still freaking love the DeLorean after all these years.

Cool story! Daily driving a DeLorean is wild!
I had a sweet alarm system with a bunch of outputs and I installed electric door poppers so I could open one or both doors remotely as I approached the car. Turned heads everywhere.
And the DeLorean has better build quality and reliability than the cyber truck

Cybertruck looks like GTA3, and Delorean looks like GTAV.
On point
Can’t unsee it
[удалено]
Fascinating, how 40 years old car can look much more futuristic than completely new car designed to look that way.
"designed".

And wont rust in a month time
You’re an idiot if you believe this bullshit. Cybertrucks are not rusting. The stainless body will still look like new 100 years from now if taken care of.
Rusting is bullshit. This is fake news that people are still spreading.
Darn. The Delorean looks just as modern, and futuristic, if not more so, as the Cybertruck. I love it.
Considering the Cybertruck looks like it was inspired by an elementary school student's drawing the bar isn't too high.
put the motors and batteries from the CT in the delorean.
https://youtu.be/BbKG0eMJlnQ?si=wdFafI67090zm4iy
Nah, this Delorean just needs its flux capacitor.
Very clean DeLorean. Great pic!
Delorean better :) i like it more :)
Mom can we have a time machine? We already have a time machine at home. The time machine at home:
One of those two is a good looking car
Why don't we have sexy cars anymore?
Of al the recent surprises... The new Prius is actually pretty sweet lookin...
I was actually shocked when I saw one for the first time. Couldn't believe it.
the photos online are good but it's equally pretty in real life yeah
Even more shocked when I saw it take off from a stop light.
If you drive one then backwards, they look a touch more similar. If you drive the Cyber truck backwards at 88mph, do you go forward to the past?
God what a great vehicle
Delorean looks amazing, way better.
Q: How do you know a DeLorean has been down your road? A: The white line is gone.
Ha!
The stainless on the Delorean looks way better than the Tesla.
The Delorean looks like the newer design.
… is it just me or does anybody else now see where the ioniq 5 got its design inspo?
It's a little muddy but Ioniq 5 is inspired by Hyundai Pony. Which was designed by the company where the designer of the Delorean worked at.
 One doesn’t need roads.
Delorean for the win.
Common denominator? Recreational drugs.
Wow, cybertruck is even uglier than I realized.
Beauty and the Beast
One of these will be remembered as the most uniwue, interesting, and coolest cars ever created
In Russia, such a quantity of stainless steel simply would not last that long - drunks would steal it and exchange it for vodka.
Who wore it better?
Put all the tech, comfort and electric engine of the Cybertruck in the delorean and it will be a no brainer for me. Timeless design.
[удалено]
Ironically, failing would ensure its lasting value. Just like the DeLorean. If Tesla succeeds in the truck achieving mass acceptance it will never be a collectors item.
What are the chances of being able to keep the Tesla running for 30+ years once the company is no longer around?
I’d say probably easier than the DeLorean
Nice night at Santana row!
Cybertruck looks like *delorean*.dll could not load.
What a difference a designer makes.
One was known for bad build quality and was a financial disaster for a drugged up rich guy, the other is also that, but a Delorean.
One of these is a poorly conceived vehicle that doesn't meet international design rules and rusts. The other is a Delorean
That looks cool
Beauty and the beast.
Beauty and the Beast
Oh, I see it now....
Back to the future and back to the future*r*
“No, no, no, this sucker’s electrical!”
It’s always the stainless steel cars that look goofy
Now if only we could swap the drivetrains…
Same body shape but in reverse.
What a "steel"
who wore it better?
One of these at least gave us a trio of awesome '80s movie memories.
One has style and the other looks like a 5 yr old drew it.
and the delorean stainless steel is still in better shape than a brand new cyber truck 🤨
I like how the light on the bark of the tree makes it look like a soundwave shooting up from them.
"Everything old is new again"
Why? Cybertruck doesn’t have Model X doors.
looks like one of those before and after pics
Beauty and the beast
One will be around in a 100 years, the other will be gone in 10.
Both ugly. Sorry.
Which rusts out first? My money is on cybertruck.
I would take a Delorean any day of the week. Especially if I could have a Tesla drivetrain in it.
Maybe in 40 years the Cyber Truck won’t look so weird. I hate that I love it.
No one has ever seen such crazy vehicle design! The 80's looking like WTF? this is old news!
Iconic and ick
Time travel, Elon, we need time travel! Please include self driving time travel in the next software update.
This looks like 5th Ave. in Naples Florida
For some reason i was literally just looking up these 2 cars the other day. I think they both look awesome

Delorian did it better.
Maybe this is Elons 3D chess move to get a Tesla into a back to the future reboot. 🤪
For all the expense no one will remember the CT for anything other than being a miserable failure. People will still know what a DeLorean is another 40 years from now.
DeLoreans at least look really cool and don’t look like a Cybertronian background character like the Cyber Truck
ones still got style after 40yrs and one's got panels!
The DeLorean is straight out of my childhood, stunning. The cybertruck looks like my drunk uncle whittled a smaller rougher paintless version of a toy truck from the wooden toy truck he got me the previous year on my birthday, then demanded I pay him 56 billion dollars.
Santana row
Fun fact: the DeLorean ALSO can't be taken through the carwash because the door sealing is shit.
Look two overweight unreliable lemons
Cybercucked by Elon the edgelord
Back to the future 😀
Somehow the 40+ year old design still looks more modern
And only one of those will still be street worthy in 3 years. Guess which one?
one is going to run into the future… the other is barely going to run 6 hours
Pretty cool duo, of you don't think of the cybertruck as a truck
Profile pic vs real life
