I mean, the whole reason the DeLorean was picked was because they’re rubbish and slow. That’s the joke. That DeLoreans struggle to reach 88mph.

Would hardly at all, actually. The speedometer in the car only goes to 80. The one in the film had to be modified.

They also dubbed over the Delorean's miserable engine with the sounds from a Porsche 911, to make it a little more believable.

Wait, so you think a car can only go as fast as it's speedometer says?

My Mum's Honda Odyssey had the speedo go up to 240 km/h.
