minus-squarePons_Aelius@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-21 year agoI can’t find a top speed figure but it did have a 0-60mph of 10.5 seconds…and that was the manual. When equipped with a manual transmission, the DeLorean accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 10.5 seconds as tested by Road & Track magazine. So it may have made it to 88 but it would take a looooong time to get there. Certainly longer than the Libyans need to hit it with an RPG.
