The car features gull-wing doors, and an innovative fiberglass chassis and underbody structure, along with a brushed stainless steel body.

Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
The DeLorean DMC-12 is one of the starter cars in the game along with the Mini Cooper John Cooper Works, Nissan 370Z, Audi RS 3 Sportback, and the Abarth 500 ESSEESSE. The DeLorean DMC-12 is the oldest muscle car in Asphalt 6 and it the oldest car in the game.
Asphalt 7: Heat
The DeLorean DMC-12 is a Tier 1 car, requiring 60 stars to be unlocked. It requires 65000 cash to be bought, and can be lent for 12500 cash. The DeLorean DMC-12 features one of the slowest acceleration in the game, as it is a classic car. It is the only car whose acceleration is slower than 10 seconds, and for this reason, the powerful and efficient nitro cannot negate this. The DMC-12's top speed is also abhorrent; it is actually the slowest in the game. The DMC-12 has average handling, but thanks to its lightweight construction, it handles better than other cars with this set of stats (e.g Shelby GT500). However, the nitro power and efficiency is the strongest point of the DMC-12; The nitro efficiency of the car is actually the second best, only worse than the Tesla Roadster (which costs 380 stars). The nitro power is also the second highest out of every car in Tier 1, also lagging behind the Tesla Roadster, followed by the Shelby GT500. The Shelby GT500 is the oldest car in the game.
