Actually, you will not find the DeLorean sports car in official documentation referred to as "DMC-12". It is simply a "DeLorean" (or "De Lorean" on some documents). The original factory sticker and Owner's Handbook both call the car "DELOREAN" and make no mention of DMC-12. I'm assuming that the "DMC-12" name was being used verbally inside the company and/or was on some engineering documents, and got passed around.
