Dodge Shocker!...Circuit Concept @ 2009 NAIAS

[Janusha]

Its so funny how people call this a Tesla killer. This thing is just a redressed Lotus and guess what... so is the Tesla. the EXACT same car underneath from the exact same factory in England. This one was ordered to impress congress with all new "american" technology inorder to deserve Obamas rescue billions and the Tesla was ordered to win US tech funds, California energy funds and Governor Arnolds green tech funds. But with brittish cars. Wonder how they got away with that.

[heartlessvietboy]

Give me the EV Dodge Circuit and i'll sell my Mustang anyday.

[KTBVideos]

i love it! but fiat "which now owns a lot of Chrysler", killed the program that made it. they said there not going to make it.

[colombianninja222]

@KTBVideos I just died a thousand deaths!! Are you serious?!

[TitanSubZero15]

@colombianninja222 They're revising it actually, they are currently working on one with the Fiat base line frame and styling cues from Fiat, but It'll be a Dodge.

[colombianninja222]

@TitanSubZero15 I feel like it's still not the same... Not sure if I like Fiat yet to be honest :P

[TitanSubZero15]

@colombianninja222 Why not?

[colombianninja222]

@TitanSubZero15 I don't know, like I did some quick research and apparently there wasn't any mention of Fiat making or remodeling or doing anything with the Circuit EV. I really liked the Circuit EV, good thing I wasn't getting it anyway :P

[colombianninja222]

@TitanSubZero15 It's like they want to focus more on bigger cars, like SUV's and what not... well, according to some article I read, I didn't keep reading.

[kadmany]

w0w very nice

[baldbollocks]

you'll NEVER see it

[1888junkteam]

excellent work!

[Ckrepp564]

It's like.... viper meets crossfire meets prius.... everyone should be happy with this car

[kazanyemmi]

looks like a viper with a shorter wheel base and "fastback" look. definitely needs a removable hard top for a roadster model.

[tnguyen318]

This is a beautiful car!!!!!!

[ilMitico69]

shity american car

[FerrariDiecast]

dodge is shity?!?!

i dont think so

[SwindleCon]

@ilMitico69 sigh.. you and your self-destructing toyotas

[dongatobydm]

FORD GT..

(dodge r/t---gm ss)

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

What is so Dodge about it? the lights and quarter panels, front and back kit? The rest is Lotus.

[death2dialup]

Leave it to Dodge to make a cool electric car.

[technologic21]

stupid. a lotus exiege port. lame.

[charizardsspirit]

nice car

[MPLSTORM]

DODGE>ford,gm

[TheMysticalNinja]

Stupid.

[sockosockosocko]

"we're lookin at you tesla" ? obviously. tesla's got it covered.  shoulda done somethin different. great thinkin detroit!

.

[bellalover18]

i love this car. it looks like a dodge viper front end with a Nissan 350z rear end

[IDriveAmerican]

Way to go Chrysler, it is good to see that green cars can be fun, that car is like an electric viper.

[VXLBeast]

Agreed! That looks sweet! Lets hope they do this right!

[mynameistanner69]

I wanna see it do a burnout!!!!

[trunk516]

If they price this thing anywhere near whats fair..it'll sell millions. Enviromentaly smart..it's fast..it's drop dead gorgeousss..Please Chrysler..make it affordable!!

[commandorarrow]

походу это гребаный Lotus Europa но в исполнении Dodge...., кризис же, товарищи, пора экономить))))

[TurismoMotoring]

people who say great looking things are ugly (mariosuper455) is ugly, they hate to be known to be ugly abd trhey try to make other people suffer for it.

[mariosuper455]

honsetly this car is ugly, like its ugly i would never pay for that or even want to be seen in that, so ugly

[Driver599]

So Dodge copied the Lotus Europa because it's not sold in the U.S.A. Not good looking with the Dodge badge and since it's a Dodge it will be made cheaply.

[daverr80]

Finally get excited about?! he doesn't know what he's talking about since the TESLA has been on the market for a few months and does 0-60 n 4 sec plus doesn't have the stigma of a failing U.S automaker!

[gncnewcom]

But it won't cost $23,000, genius!

[coolerdude44]

lmao so what dodge did is took the lotus platform, and made an ev with it worse than the tesla? the tesla can do 0-60 in under 4 seconds, and fuck the quarter mile, you don't buy a lotus for quarter miles, edmunds is gay because they only talk about quarter miles, like the steering wheel is useless.

[GSpotter63]

But it will not cost $90,000.00 like the Tesla, many more could afford them, and they would sell hundreds of thousands.

P.S. You may have a right to your own opinion, but an opinion based on ignorance is irrelevant.

[coolerdude44]

because it's a dodge it won't be as good as a tesla or a lotus. dodge sucks. sorry to burst your bubble.

[GSpotter63]

Of course an electric Doge is not going to be as good as Tesla or Lotus. The Doge is not meant to compete with the above cars, its $60,000 cheaper you moron.

[coolerdude44]

that's irrelevant to me. being cheap is no excuse to be a bad car. like, i'm not going to buy a dodge caliber or a kia rio simply because they're cheap. but cars like the vw golf are a bit more expensive, but are more than worth the extra price.

i guess the idea of a cheaper electric sports car is ok, but it won't be a true sports car like the tesla is. that's the point i'm trying to make.

[americanmuscle747]

dodge challenger a legend returned period.

[coolerdude44]

except the modern interperetation of the legend sucks. i saw one on the road today, it looks like it has a very loose chassis, it looks very wallowy. built for straight lines only. that's why i like the camaro, it was engineered and tuned to be best in every situation, even based on the holden monaro chassis.

[americanmuscle747]

ok im not trying to be insulting but the legends of the past had real good engines but as far as other stuff interior n things were wabbaly. the new cars are made better. if u dnt believe me check out JAY LENOS garage. and the challenger is a fresh new ride period. and wit the supercharger upgrades even better

[kakswell]

in the end of the day that dude has a new car your still rockin a shitbox

[KawasakiDodgeMan]

dude u do not know what the fuck u are talking about so shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!!! Fucking moron

[coolerdude44]

what are you talking about? it won't be a good sports car, chrysler has never made one, and the caliber is a shit car....

how do i not know what i'm talking about?

[CJurasin]

cooldork: And HOW many Mopars have YOU owned???

Ignorance is bliss isn't it kid???

[JamesThWilliams]

The ACR viper has the fastest time around the nuremburg ring of any production car ever period. About a half second ahead of the ZR1 Corvette. So you don't know what you are talking about.

[coolerdude44]

... nuremburg ring? lmfao. wow.

first of all, i made that comment over a year ago, before the acr set that time. second of all, you can't be a car enthusiast (even a chrysler enthusiast, although they've obviously never heard of the nurburgring either) and not know how to spell NURBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFFE.

[JamesThWilliams]

So is it Piedmont or Piemonte italy depends on the language sorry for not using german.

[Irockatgms]

You know...the whole point of Dodge, Chevy and even Ford back when muscle cars were getting big was to allow muscle affordable for the American working man. A cheap sports car holds very true to the reason they started making muscle cars in the first place. If it breaks I will learn to work on it, maybe put my electrical eng. degree to use. If it doesn't all the more power to the car

[BadBrad61169]

its a lotus with a the dodge symbol on it

GAY.!!!!!

[ijenkins4]

HAHAHAH hey bi, i'd never buy a dodge anyway.....

[RAZOR619366]

hahahhaha true true!! :)

[Ahya728]

it really does look like a burnout car.. there's something within Dodge's design on this car, there's something wrong with it..

[ClonnyWalk]

40K is not that expensive for that kind of car when you think of others sports car who work on gasoline, their price are more expensive

[midnightshadevsr]

FINALLY THEY BRINGING THE LOTUS EUROPA TO THE STATES. (even though its rebadged) that things gotta JET. heh well im kinda surprised that this badass circuit is a hybrid and i already know why dodge got this on their line up. i see a 40K price tag on that thing.

[94XJ]

Lower part of the body does look like a Lotus with a Dodge front clip on it, the roof looks like it's straight off a Challenger and the lights...aren't those off the Avenger?

Hodge-podge-dodge anyone?

[MOPARfulSRT4]

I'm so tired of hearing people talking about American car makers ripping off foreign cars. Mazda and Volvo share brakes (if I'm not mistaken), Holden uses Chevy engines, Pagani uses BMW and Mercedes parts, McLaren used to have Corvette gearboxes, Nissans are built in the U.S. of A., etc. Please, you foreigners are always hating but you guys borrow too.

P.S. PLEASE LET THIS CAR HIT PRODUCTION WITH A SRT VERSION!!!!!!!

[blzbug242]

looks like a burnout car

[oilhammer04]

How much will it cost. These all electric cars are out of the range of the average buyer. Also, they would work well in climates that aren't mild.

[Shroomsterdam]

That just shows really how much of a joke american cars are. They have to go and rip off a european car. Two thumbs down.

[Orilian1]

Dodge??? bullshit.

It's LOTUS EUROPA!!!!!

[lighthammar]

in 1998 gm released the ev1 then destroyed them a couple years later. The oil companies rule the world, and your lives.

[510LTC510]

this is some what of a good idea because it reduces polution and could possibly slow down global warming if its real =)

[wasp010]

I don't buy into this hybrid bullshit for one second. Yeah they get decent gas mileage, but for a Corvette price tag. Its just not practical technology. There are cars that can run off water, but its not mainstream tech and it never will be. Its all too complex and not cost effective. And lets face it, if you have $40K+ to spend on a car, gas prices really aren't going to effect you.

[koukicrisp]

I really like this car. This is literally the first dodge that I was ever excited about.

[player1vladimir]

Because it isn't a real Dodge

[shfeddy]

150 mi? thats it? my cavalier can do the quater mile in 15 and goes like 380 mi on a tank.. psht, i'll keep my car

[ekuwa69]

Yes but when gas prices go up your screwed. This way you will always have a full charge when you leave your house, and 150 mi is pretty good. You will start to see charging stations everywhere pretty soon.

[lighthammar]

bullshit

Watch "who killed the electric car" on google's videos.

Don't believe the hype

[DCSAmimd]

chrysler get so close to bankrupt than need's to be more responseble for whath they do.

keep constructing cars v8 or v10 is one way to sink this corporation, i hope chrysler realy embrace this projects of hibrid and eletric cars.

[player1vladimir]

They just took a Lotus Europa and changed the front grill... WOW they are stealing the Lotus design... they are even worst then those Chinese manufactures.

[wasp010]

Hey at least it'll be a Chrystler engine. Doesn't Lotus pull their engines from Toyota? Hmmm...

[player1vladimir]

If they putted a Toyota engine why call it then Dodge?

[wasp010]

No, Lotus put Toyota engines in their cars. Dodge uses Dodge engines.

[player1vladimir]

LOL i know that!

But if they wanted to put the a Toyota engine then it would be a Lotus Europe.

Why call it Dodge Circuit? The only reason why they call this car Dodge is because it has a Dodge engine.

[matt4jeff]

that looks like a viper and the back looks like and audi

[6324776]

NICE!!

[geogepd123]

look like lotus elise

[player1vladimir]

Europa

[mysterioso2006]

Nice!

[quincy965]

OMG go chrysler give them more billions to make this bad ass ride

[TR9O]

I love how he took a shot at Tesla. Top Gear tested the Tesla, and it looked like a piece of unreliable, impractical junk.

[Powersproductions130]

Top Gear tested the Tesla?! Was it on Youtube? If so can you give me the link?

[BigPoppa1203]

this car will prolly never go into production, chryseler doesnt have enuff money to market that, they got biger problems plus they prolly gonna price that car at 80Grand nobody will but it

[skorpion47]

Looks like a mini Viper but even sicker lookin. FUCK YEAH COUNT ME IN FOR THAT!

[SpikeRazzor]

While I'm still here, is the Hornet gonna come out? Hell I would buy one brand new. Shit owns, although it kinda doesn't make sense, its using the BMW Mini Cooper S engine, yet its in direct competition with the Cooper S LOL!

[DonkeyFuck]

From dodge? no wai >_>

[TRUTHINLIEZ]

¥T

[elogan24]

When I first saw the thing, I thought it was the new Europa, but this thing is kinda stupid. The concept is there, but it needs redesigning. American auto companies are getting desperate now... Euro cars rule!

[joness105639]

thats cause its based on the europa.

[SpikeRazzor]

I thought it looked like a Europa... Fail, the Big Three need to do more building and less rebading.

[JaySee5]

Chrysler is notorious for re-badging. Many of their cars were re-badged Mitsubishis.

[SpikeRazzor]

I personally never had a problem with DSM cars, at least they actually made some decent cars that are still highly valued after all these year.

With GM though, its a good bet most of the new stuff is either from Europe, Australia or is a rebadged Toyota or some Chinese/Korean car with the bowtie on it... Yet they still knock Toyota on a daily basis, hypocrites?

With Ford, if only they started bringing some interesting cars from Australia for stop sending us the shit version of the Euro Focus.

[muscletruckdude]

an ls1 camaro with slicks and nothing else would beat this thing. they better not replace the viper with this thing or their super car status will be long gone

[FILIPINOCD]

If they replace the Viper it should be faster and better than a Viper not this eco friendly car!

[arabrockerman]

wow that car looks good forget the EV just make it FR and i'm happy

[JaySee5]

It's a Lotus, so it's MR.

[ironchopsticks]

First! Woot, go ahead give me thumbs up!
