Sun Star's 1:18 diecast DeLorean DMC-12 arrives in unpainted-look silver, reproducing the car's distinctive brushed stainless bodywork and gullwing doors. A standout piece for anyone building an 1980s or unusual-engineering display.
TL;DR: This 1:18 Sun Star diecast reproduces the DeLorean DMC-12 in silver, capturing the car's brushed stainless steel body panels and upward-opening gullwing doors. A distinctive early-1980s subject that stands apart from any conventional saloon or coupe on a shelf.
John DeLorean's short-lived sports car programme produced one of the most visually unusual production cars of its era, and the unpainted stainless steel body was as much a manufacturing decision as a styling one.
Reproducing Bare Steel and Gullwing Geometry
Getting a convincing brushed-steel finish in diecast is genuinely tricky, since the real car had no paint to hide casting imperfections underneath, every surface was the finished product. Sun Star's silver finish carries a consistent brushed texture rather than the flat gloss a painted model would use, which is the right call for a car whose entire visual identity rested on that raw metal look. The gullwing doors, hinged at the roofline rather than the sill, are a genuine engineering signature rather than a styling flourish, and they change the whole silhouette when posed open compared with a conventional coupe. Even closed, the sharp waistline and angular Giugiaro-penned surfaces give this model a distinctly different profile from anything else likely to sit near it on a shelf.
A Short, Distinctive Production History
The DMC-12 was built for only a few years in the early 1980s before the DeLorean Motor Company collapsed, which makes the car a genuine curiosity of automotive history rather than a mainstream classic with decades of context behind it. Its stainless bodywork and gullwing doors remain unusual even by modern standards, engineering choices few other manufacturers ever attempted at production scale.
A Conversation Piece for an Unusual-Cars Shelf
This DMC-12 works best as a standout single piece rather than part of a themed run, its bare-metal look and gullwing doors doing all the visual work a display needs.
