Saw a guy post this on Z31Perf [quote=“1artworkz”"] **More pictures at:** > **[2009 Dodge Circuit EV Concept - Images, Specifications and Information](https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/3997/Dodge-Circuit-EV-Concept.html)** > > 2009 Dodge Circuit EV Concept: 12-shot gallery, full history and specifications “Today, the company showed off what was supposed to be a Dodge electric sports car, however, they have again chosen to simply re-brand a Lotus Europa, this time adding some additional Dodge styling cues to make it look more original.” “Chrysler claims the Dodge Circuit EV is capable of some impressive figures – 0-60mph in less than 5 seconds and a standing quarter mile in 13 seconds - figures that would make any sports car proud, let alone an electric one.” “The Dodge Circuit EV uses three powertrain components for propulsion. These include a 268hp electric motor, a lithium-ion battery system for power, and a controller that manages energy flow. The lithium-ion battery is expected to give the Dodge Circuit EV a driving range of around 150-200 miles depending on the way it’s driven. It’s charged using a 110v household power outlet, but the charging time can be cut in half by using a 220v outlet. Regenerative braking is also used to help increase the range.” “Despite the lofty claims by Chrysler you won’t be seeing the Dodge Circuit EV in your driveway any time soon. The vehicle is purely a concept, and the fact that it uses a Lotus underbody implies that a production version of a vehicle like this is years away.” [/quote] ---

Pussy motor? Havent you seen the Silverado Hybrid, Escape hybrid and the other trucks that are hybrids? The Silverado uses a V8. ---

Dodge needs to pull their engineers aside and give them some talking about coming up with some new exterior styling. That Viper-ish look was old 10 years ago and is used on damn near EVERY vehicle they make. ---

True, but I was thinking more along the lines of a car hybrid, like the Camry, Civic, Altima, all of them. They are all very, very slow, might as well make them a little bit slower and have them be plug ins. ---

I didnt know it if they were. I know the Altima is, I’ve driven both the normal 2.5 and the hybrid and there is a difference. The normal 2.5 Altima is super slow anyways.
