    Shocking? I saw what you did there.


    Looks awful good to me. Perhaps Chrysler can back engineer a cheaper platform or retool one of its own to slide under the body. Or maybe Lotus has a very attractive fleet/volume program ready to go?


    This could be very helpful to Dodge. They've had the Viper as the halo, and a lot of other stuff down in the wash clattering around. This could be the bridge they've needed.


    I even bet some he-men would be willing to be seen commuting in this.

    I am not against Chrysler providing Lotus with production capacity so that the English brand can provide a more cost-effective product to an eager American market.


    Wait, that's what this is about, right?

    "is basically a Lotus Evora..." hope thats a typing error cause it links to the correct car, the Lotus Europa ;)

    It's a good looking car to be sure, but somehow (wonder why?) it just doesn't look like a Dodge. Which is perhaps why everyone seems to see this as a transparent attempt to get on the EV wagon (and the gravy train that follows) by throwing few starter motors in the engine bay and a Dodge sticker over the Lotus emblem. And I mostly agree. But if they can pull it off, more power to 'em.


    I personally think that there probably isn't much of a market for high-end electric sports cars, and what market there is will probably go to Fisker, but maybe if Chrysler can make it better and cheaper they'll have a competitive product.

    The best one of these, and the least-hyped is the minivan.

    @philibuster: yes, but to be fair there's a reason for that; it's a minivan.

    Doesn't look too bad, but then again I guess it's sort of hard to screw up a Lotus too badly.

    Oh yea Wes.. Chrysler was been building and selling full EV models in 1993.. including a full EV minivan that could do 80 miles on lead-acid batteries..


    [www.allpar.com]


    They haven't just come out of nowhere, but like traditional media you regurgitate the status quo instead of doing proper research and reporting...

    I like that sporty one but 200 max mile range is not practical...

    @WheatKing: Yes, and we can see how well it worked out. Chrysler has serious problems. Have I given up on them completely? No, but, I would say, that if I could put a bet on which D3 would still be in operation by 2013, to build such an Electric Car, it wouldn't be Chrysler.

    Looks awesome. Love it.


    Good thing this time uncle Daimler isn't around to say nein (remember the ME-412??)


    The viper program is no longer, the ev europa (aka circuit) has already been shown to be faster than the challenger srt8.. a six figure pricetag replacement for the viper that just happens to be electric isn't really that much of a jump.


    It's called a halo vehicle, and again.. love it.

    Really.. this whole down on Chrysler thing is getting kinda lame.


    You guys get a voltgasm over GM's vapourware, or minty verbal diarreha over the ugly prius, yet can't find it to write a good word about Chrysler.


    psst.. your bias is showing.

    And how many more bailouts is this going to take?

    You know, surprisingly enough, that's probably the best interpretation of the Dodge crosshair grille yet.


    Still, an interesting one-off for a dying company. Expect it to go for a shitload at B-J in a 50-year-later "Chrysler Retrospective: What Could Have Been" theme show.
