A proposito di questo titolo
DeLorean's stainless-steel sports car reached production in Northern Ireland, but its manufacturer entered receivership about a year later. We trace the public funding, the Dunmurry workforce, the car's design and the audit trail, then separate the later drug-trial acquittal and Back to the Future fame from the business failure that came first.
