If memory serves me right the DeLorean was supposed to be a MID-engined car in the initial development. Having the engine in front of the rear wheels would involve moving a lot of things forward, including the rear wall of the passenger compartment. When they switched to the rear-engine setup we are all driving today they could put the wall backward, creating the parcelshelf above the gearbox we know now. JAN van de Wouw Thinking Different...
