It's back to the future — and back into production — for the DeLorean.

The sleek sports car, immortalized in the "Back to the Future" movies, is going to start rolling off the assembly line next year after a 34-year break, the DeLorean Motor Company announced Wednesday. And unlike its previous incarnations, the new DeLorean DMC-12 models will be made in America. Humble, Texas, to be exact.

"It's fantastic," DeLoreon chief Stephen Wynne told NBC News. "It is a game-changer for us, you know. We've been wanting this to happen."

Under a low volume manufacturing bill green-lighted by the feds, DeLorean will only be allowed to build 300 more of the iconic cars that Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) turned into a time machine in the movies. And each car will set buyers back at least $100,000, depending on the engine.

Wynne said they will update the engines but have no plans to change to look of the futuristic ride (brushed stainless steel skin!) or replace the gull-wing doors.

They had better upgrade the engine from the puny 163 hp V6 that they had in it originally. It could do 0 - 60 mph in 10.3 seconds and there aren't many cars that can't do that today. In fact, so will most minivans. No need to update the style - they got that right the first time.

Depending on the model you can have either 300 or 400 horses. So nothing like the Dodge Hellcat engine but 400 HP is serviceable (I supposed) for a 100 grand car.
