Back To The Future: Electric DeLorean Coming in 2013

The DeLorean Motor Company of Texas has announced plans to launch an all-electric version of the DeLorean in 2013. The car, made popular in the Back to the Future movies, will be updated to reduce the weight of the vehicle and to bring in the more modern technology of today’s cars.

The DMCEV will have a DC electric motor that will be able to go from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds with an estimated top speed of 125mph. The car isn't planned to be released until 2013 and even then will cost up to $90,000-100,000! I'm just wondering where the flux capacitor is.
