The Delorean (known in real-life as the DeLorean DMC-12) is a vehicle in Jailbreak which was released in the Winter 2020 Update. Costing 
175,000, it is found in the Power Plant parking lot, replacing the Challenger's spawn point.
Overview
The Delorean can glide over water, making it the first land vehicle in Jailbreak that can do so, however, if you dive into the water at a certain angle, then you can manage to go underwater.
It was a highly requested vehicle by the community before its reveal, with one Twitter user, known as HAPPYHONGO, going as far as to make a Twitter account to get the developers to add it into the game. Eventually, it was added alongside the Bank Truck and Season 1: New Beginnings.
The Delorean has opening doors and includes 2 seats. It also has a detailed interior to keep in line with the movement to give all Jailbreak vehicles an interior. It makes a good last-resort getaway from the Power Plant, due to its close spawn, all-around good stats, and its ability to drive over water if needed.
Performance
In terms of overall performance, the Delorean is fairly good all-around. It features good launch speed, comparable to the Model 3. Its top speed beats out most sports cars and general cars, but it is no match for hypercars. Although it is not as quick as most supercars, the Delorean has the ability to drive over water, unlike any other vehicle in the game. It has great off-roading, being able to climb most terrain with relative ease, beating out lots of mid-tier vehicles and comparable to the Torpedo and M12 Molten.
As of October 2022, the Delorean now has an overdrive gear, allowing it to reach its top speed even quicker.
Overall, the Delorean is an all-around great performer. The hovering ability makes the car a little more worth the price, allowing players to make shortcuts that other land vehicles are unable to make. However, given the current map layout of Jailbreak, the Delorean's ability to hover over water does not give it much of an advantage as most bodies of water have sandy parts on the edges, which allows other land vehicles in water to drive onto land, and the map does not have many opportunities to use shortcuts through water. Despite this, the Delorean is a good getaway vehicle and vehicle in general.

- The Twitter user known as @JBDelorean got the attention of the developers to add the Delorean into the game.
- The car plate reads "HONGO" which is a reference to the Roblox user, HAPPYHONGO, who runs the JBDelorean Twitter account.

- In the teaser images, the Delorean appeared to be equipped with a new invisible rim, which was later confirmed to be called the Void rims, a Season Pass exclusive rim that could've been obtained by reaching Level 9 in Season 1: New Beginnings.
- Contrary to what many people thought, the Delorean cannot hover, instead it drives over the water, similar to how it drives on the road. However, driving on water slows down the car, similar to other land vehicles when driving under the water.
- If a player spawns a Delorean in midair over water, the driver leaves the driver seat while driving on water, or if the Delorean is driven off a steep cliff, it will sink to the ocean floor instead of hovering on the water. Players must drive off a smooth incline into the water for the Delorean to drive on its surface.
