In the popular 1985 film Back to the Future, the DeLorean needed to go 88 mph (and 1.21 gigawatts) to travel back in time. Doc stole plutonium to power the time machine's flux capacitor and sent Marty back to 1955.

they go 88 like in the movie back to the future In the movie, the time machine needed to get up to 88 MPH to travel through time, but this is not the fastest a DeLorean can go, nor is that movie a reliable source of information on the vehicle. On a real DeLorean, the speedometer reads up to 75 MPH, but the car can go as fast as a standard everyday car, probably around 110 MPH - 120 MPH. Although classified as a sprots car, the DeLorean is underpowered due to the engines having been modified to pass emissions testing in the early 1980s.
