Overview

John Z. DeLorean was a visionary engineer, a corporate maverick, and a risk-taker who helped shape Detroit's muscle car era-then set out to disrupt the auto industry entirely. From his meteoric rise through the ranks of General Motors to the formation of the DeLorean Motor Company, DeLorean chased a dream forged in stainless steel: a futuristic sports car with gull-wing doors, built in a divided Belfast and launched into a world not quite ready for it. But the story of the DMC-12 is more than just the tale of an iconic car. It's a drama of ambition colliding with reality-marked by government deals, financial turmoil, factory struggles, and a federal sting operation that nearly destroyed everything. Through exhaustive research and vivid narrative, Turbo Dreams tells the full, fact-based story of how one man's dream car became a cultural icon, and how the forces of politics, personality, and pressure brought his empire crashing down. With insights from insiders, engineers, workers, and historians, this is the definitive chronicle of John DeLorean-the brilliant, flawed, unforgettable figure who built a legend and paid the price.
