What it has said so far is that it will be a fully modern, electric vehicle this time around, but it will be bringing a few old school features along for the ride.

Designed by Italdesign, the Italian styling house founded by the original DeLorean designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, has previously confirmed in a teaser video that it will have the model’s signature gullwing doors. However, a new teaser video showing the rear of the car highlights another retro feature coming back on the coupe: rear window louvers.

The horizontal slats were popular on sports cars from the 1960s to 1980s primarily for style, but act as a sunshade for raked rear windows while maintaining both outward visibility and a vehicle’s sleek profile. The clip also reveals an illuminated DeLorean logo and full-width light bar.

The louvers were hinted at in a photo released earlier this year along with three-bar brake lights and a much more curvaceous body than the original DeLorean had.
