Yea you can but the speedometer does not go to 88 it goes to 85

[HeidenMikael]

The 85mph speedometer wasn't meant to display a lack of prowess, instead, it was a government mandate to discourage excessive speeding to conserve fuel. In fact, DeLorean reported the the car had a top speed of around 130 mph.

[Axpo]

Since it's a rare car according to today's standard price and availability, going to top speed 88 mph is advisable to prevent you from speeding up and crashing such valuable and expensive car during traffic hours.

When this thing hits 88 miles per hour you’re going to see some serious shit

[WalterWhite-nhrh]

The speedometer was designed to only go 85 because at the time the DeLorean was released, it was during the major gas crisis and the government made that speedometer to only go to 85 so people would drive slower to save gas but yes the DeLorean can definitely go 85 mph. Heck maybe you can go 100 but nobody’s ever actually pushed a DeLorean into its limits at least I don’t think,

[garysherard]

I wanna get one of these and just make it as fast as possible

[anythingeverything]

What the duck do you think this a back to the future car

[Rob-fcwg]

If I had a Delorean I'd probably drive it from time to time.

[hellhound]

Well ya you can it’s just the speedometer only says 85 cause of the fuel crisis at the time of its production in the 70s they lowered it to 85 in the hopes people would go slower saving fuel

[WaynesWorldUnlimited]

What would be more impressive is if you could actually make coffee at the back?.. with the coffee machine

[mr.honkerstherdairoftheth]

The DeLorean actually goes a Max of 85 which is disappointing lol

[PhilTgaming]

Yes, but the speedometer only goes up to 85, that's why in bttf they put a digital Speedo on the car

[josephjoestar]

Yes it can, top speed=109 not 85 it shows 85 to save elecricity for the car

[davidecarucci]

The speedometer only goes to 85mph because of laws at the time that limited speedometers, the car can go faster
