John Zachary DeLorean, the legend behind the Pontiac GTO, stunned the business world by handing in his resignation as Vice President of General Motors. By his mid-forties he was their most brilliant and flamboyant young executive, and destined to be become the next president of the industrial giant. Instead he turned his aspirations to create his own automotive empire, the DeLorean Motor Company. His sleek stainless steel, gullwing sports car the DMC-12 quickly became a phenomenon. But his dreams would soon become a nightmare, as an out-of-control FBI, a domineering British government, and a cocaine scandal that would captivate the world, put an end to the DeLorean dream.
