Why did the DeLorean Motor Company fail?
Content: One point that needs to be cleared up, his legal troubles with cocaine were the results of the other problems and his last ditch effort to keep the company afloat. Building a car for the world on an island in the Atlantic was never going to work. Everything had to be shipped in, no native content. The part I always wondered about was did DeLorean not ever hear about the Bricklin? Very similar concept, and execution. Same end result. 1.5K views

There are lots of reasons. One reason why the DeLorean car made it as far as it did was because of enormous financial aid from the British government. The financial accountants Arthur Anderson falsely conveyed the impression to the British Government that this was a good viable project with great potential and great cash flow. This deception resulted in DeLorean receiving much financial aid including low interest loans.
