#30: The Delorean
With the widespread popularity of the movie Back to the Future, which featured a time machine called the Delorean, the Delorean Motor Company decided to release the Delorean DMC-12 vehicle to the public. While the movie was a hit, the car was not. Although it was famous, its fame just didn’t translate to sales.
To begin with, the Delorean DMC-12 had multiple performance issues that led to safety concerns for customers. It also experienced a big lack of interest from consumers. After only a couple of years, the Delorean Motor Company went completely bankrupt and was forced to halt production of the failed Delorean DMC-12.
