Dodge EV: 360 Degrees
The Dodge EV concept was revealed in a flourish of showmanship directly ahead of the time the not-so-Big Three went before Congress begging for a loan to retool for greener cars, but the LA Auto Show is the first time we're getting a close look at it. The Dodge EV, an all-electric version of the Lotus Europa fitted with a Dodge badge, lithium-ion battery pack and an electric motor, is apparently able to hit a 0-to-60 MPH in under five seconds with a range of 150-200 miles. But what does it look like in person? Thanks to a turntable and a steady hand we've got a 360 degree look at theProton,Lotus, Dodge EV below the jump. More » -

Lotus Celebrates 60 Years Of Simple, Lightweight Cars With A Diamond-Trimmed Lotus Europa
It's been 60 years of Lotus, and in that time the British cottage automaker has produced a bevy of light, tossable cars that capture the essence of spirited driving. For that reason, we'll give them a bit of a break with their Diamond Lotus Europa. That's right, this is a fully-loaded Europa with leather stripped off the most aristocratic cows in England...and diamonds. Oh the diamonds. The gear knob, steering wheel and other surfaces feature jewels set in cool matte black metal (they call it "matt" black in the press release). The best touch is the rev counter and speed dial that each include diamonds highlighted by hidden LED lights. The car is valued at more than $250,000, but we imagine this one isn't going up for sale anytime soon. Press release below the jump. More » -
