The Rise and Fall of John DeLorean From GM Genius to FBI Drug Sting ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! #JohnDeLorean #DeLorean #Billionaires The DeLorean is one of the most recognisable cars ever built... but its story is even more extraordinary than the car itself. In this documentary, we explore the incredible rise and spectacular fall of John DeLorean—the brilliant General Motors executive who dared to take on Detroit and build the sports car of the future. From inventing the legendary Pontiac GTO and becoming GM's youngest-ever division head, to founding the DeLorean Motor Company with hundreds of millions of pounds in government backing, everything seemed destined for success. But behind the stainless-steel bodywork and iconic gullwing doors, the company was running out of money. Then came one of the most sensational scandals in automotive history. John DeLorean was arrested in an FBI cocaine sting that made headlines around the world. Television cameras captured the moment America watched one of the biggest names in the car industry led away in handcuffs. Although he was later acquitted after successfully arguing entrapment, the damage had already been done. The company collapsed, thousands lost their jobs, and the dream appeared to be over. Then Hollywood stepped in... Just three years later, Back to the Future transformed the DeLorean into perhaps the most famous movie car of all time, giving the failed sports car a second life that nobody could have imagined. This is the remarkable true story of ambition, innovation, scandal, failure and one of the greatest second acts in business history.
