[DML] ItalDesign/Giugiaro Web Site



Yes, the address is www.italdesign.it

or the exact address for Ital Design's DeLorean'page go to: www.nes.it/italdesign/dmc.htm

What is really interesting is that the DeLorean goes under the name DMC-12! Apparantly, when Giugiaro was commisioned to make the car, DeLorean Motor Company hadn't decided a model name yet. The DMC-12 was the code for the car. It was supposed to cost only $12,000

For some reason Italdesign name the car "DMC/12" instead of "DMC-12"
