That’s right: six months and billions of tax-payer dollars later, Chrysler’s ENVI division seriously expects the public at large to accept the same A123 (http://www.a123systems.com/) battery pack and 200 kW electric-motored Lotus with snazzy-paint as an eco-holy flagship for the Dodge brand.

* 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds
* ¼-mile in 13 seconds
* Top speed of more than 120 mph

what's up with the RSX head lights?

History and politics aside, It's a pretty gorgeous car. It's like a Lotus and a Viper made sweet little babies.

QFT! I remember back in 96 they dubbed the neon "son of the viper" or something along that line but even the srt4 dont got shit on this.

I like the way it looks as well, but i think Dodge missed out on making a fun/exciting car. IMO they should have put a 4 cylinder in it instead. I think that this body with the 2.4L SRT4 motor (mid-engine) and RWD would have been bad ass.

[G.C]

looks nice cept the headlight part.

An electric Lotus Europa...nice. Never thought I'd see any badge engineering done between Dodge and Lotus. Interesting how they changed so little from the Lotus, yet it still looks very much like a Dodge.

Wait so why is Lotus such a popular choice for electric car platforms? :thinking: That is, if you can call two cars popular. The Tesla roadster is based on the Elise right?
