It's a little unfair to compare a new very high-tech sports car to one
that is 25 years old and based on technology that is even older.
The Elise is a stunning handling car. NOTHING else on the road
compares - for any money. And with only 190hp in a 1900lb package,
you really understand what weight does to kill a car.
In my mind, the DeLorean is more of a grand touring car than a sports
car. The main reasons is that it is underpowered compared to
cars in era, and it is generally heavier, which doesn't help handling.
Lotus did a reasonable job getting the car to turn, but to really
know what a backbone frame is capable of delivering in terms of
handling you need to spend some time in a Europa or an Esprit.
The DeLorean is decisively ponderous compared to those cars.
Simply put, the DeLorean is a better grand touring car than it is
a sports car.
