wagner Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I hope so that is not a bad looking car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic_Influx Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well at least it's a completely different look from anything else they've made. God knows we need another great looking, electric, green and totally unaffordable car on the market. That being said, I'd rock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Where's the shifter? push button, shifters are soooo last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 If its a paddle shifter, or an auto, or a mix of both, that fails. Otherwise its pretty sick. (edit: ewwwww ... buttons, even worse somehow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 That interior looks like junk. Outside of the car is pretty cool looking though. Maybe a bit of viper got into that stealth/lotus mix? I think this is the best new styled car I've seen in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptn janks Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Where's the shifter? what do you need a shifter for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 what do you need a shifter for? They're best used to make a car not suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptn janks Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 They're best used to make a car not suck. its an electric car. if the motor directly powers the wheels, it doesnt need a transmission or multiple gears. a transmission would be extra weight, which kills the efficiency of the electric car. and thats what they are really all about... miles per charge. electric motors have more than enough torque to power you from a dead stop to interstate speeds. they say that dodge makes 268hp and 480 ft lbs of torque. 0-60 in less than 5. 1/4 in low 13... 120+ top seed i couldnt find any specs about its drive system though. the only thing it really says is this Electric Vehicle Technology. Chrysler’s battery electric vehicles utilize just three primary powertrain components. These include an electric motor to drive the wheels, an advanced lithium-ion battery system to power the electric-drive motor and a controller that manages energy flow. The electric-drive system is being developed for front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, and body-on-frame four-wheel-drive vehicle applications.it could have some sort of CVT in it... which may be the best thing for an electric vehicle. to maximize toruqe and minimize RPM the computer chooses the best RPM and ratio to deliver whatever the driver requests every second. sounds like a big electric drill... with that bit about the controller to manage energy flow. give it a little juice, and it goes slow. floor it and it takes off like a rocket.

I'm a fish! http://www.autoweek.com/chicago-auto-show/Dodge-Circuit-EV/images/Dodge-Circuit-EV-backdrive.jpg But I wanna be a viper when I grow up. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/SW46rfOu7MI/AAAAAAABfOo/elYf3JF6KUM/s400/Dodge-Circuit-EV-13.jpg For now though, I'm an econo-box. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/SW4641sbuDI/AAAAAAABfPY/qR-tnCWHcnI/s400/Dodge-Circuit-EV-19.jpg http://www.hybridcars.com/files/imagecache/full_502/files/graphics/circuitev-interior.jpg My parents say it's what's inside that counts, but my drivers keep falling asleep.
