Fisker’s New Plant May Put the Kabosh on New DeLorean
Oct 28, 2009 - By Chris Weiss
As anticipated, Fisker announced yesterday that it will purchase GM’s former plant in Wilmington, Delaware for the production of its next plug-in hybrid. While this is good news overall, it comes with a disappointing side effect: DeLorean Motor Company will no longer be able to use the plant to produce the Solstice. According to a recent report on Jalopnik, DeLorean was considering reviving its name with a new version of the Pontiac Solstice, which was previously built there. While there’s a slim window between now and the planned Fisker takeover in 2012, it’s looking unlikely that the plant will serve to help DeLorean pursue its second bolt of lightning. [via Jalopnik]
