Creating a New Chapter for an Iconic Car Brand

Project Overview

After years away from the spotlight, DeLorean made a bold return with the announcement of the Alpha5 - a sleek, all-electric reboot of its iconic legacy. In partnership with Mysten Labs and Otherlife, DeLorean launched a first-of-its-kind digital experience to tokenize and trade vehicle reservation slots on the SUI blockchain. The activation introduced a collectible Time Capsule NFT series and a blockchain-powered marketplace, bringing Web3 innovation to the automotive world through a seamless and secure experience.

Challenge

DeLorean needed more than just a drop - they needed a full brand and product launch that would reestablish them as a cultural and technological leader. The challenge was twofold: build a strategy aligned with business goals for selling build-slot NFTs, and reignite excitement around a legendary brand entering a new era. Otherlife was tasked with defining the positioning, developing the brand, and delivering a fully functional Web3 platform - all while building on a new blockchain still in development.

Solution

Otherlife partnered with DeLorean and Mysten Labs to develop a Web3 experience from the ground up. We defined the brand positioning, crafted a digital-first identity system, and designed a marketplace that would bring trust and transparency to vehicle reservations. The work included a suite of 3D assets, UI design, and a sleek user dashboard, all built on SUI. The launch kicked off with the DeLorean Time Capsule NFT drop - a limited-edition collection that served as the gateway into the ecosystem and captured the imagination of fans and collectors alike.

Result

The DeLorean Time Capsule collection sold out in under 30 minutes, driving over 2,000 registrations and widespread media coverage. The activation helped boost awareness of both DeLorean’s EV relaunch and the SUI blockchain, positioning all partners at the forefront of innovation. With a seamless, secure marketplace now live, DeLorean successfully bridged automotive culture with Web3 - enabling collectors and buyers to trade build slots with confidence in a fully tokenized environment.
