Detroit Auto Show: Dodge Circuit EV


circuitmain Detroit Auto Show: Dodge Circuit EV

Dodge brought its fleet of electrics to the snowy death trap wonderland that is Detroit. While there was an all new EV sedan concept (the 200C) and a two-wheel drive EV Jeep Patriot on hand, the most Fiendish ride under the Penstar was still the the Lotus Europa-based Circuit. The company has worked up yet another nose and tail for the car, and this one looks decidedly more finished than the yellow version we saw a few months back. According to the execs on stage, the new exterior delivers a “distinctly Dodge” look. Its true there’s more than a little Viper in the nose, and there’s no denying the hotness of a neon orange two-seater. The Circuit still boasts Dodge’s all-electric drivetrain, complete with 150-200 miles of range. Performance numbers aren’t too shabby either – serving up a sub 5-second naught to 60 and 13 second quarter passes.
