Top Story Dodge Circuit EV |
|
As the spy shots our photographers snapped a few weeks ago previewed, Dodge has updated the front of its Lotus-based EV Concept car - and the automaker has given it a new, much more evocative name: Circuit. The new Dodge, presented with the automaker’s trademark crosshair face, also gets a new “Tangogreen” paint scheme.
It was just three months ago that Chrysler revealed a concept they called the Dodge EV: an electric plug-in based on the Lotus Europa. This “production-intent” prototype was driven, photographed and written about – but the yellow concept with black racing stripes didn’t quite carry over the Dodge styling

The Infamous DeLorean DMC-12
In October 1976, the first prototype DeLorean DMC-12 was completed by William T. Collins chief engineer and designer (formerly chief engineer at Pontiac). Originally, the car's rear-mounted power plant was to be a Citroën Wankel rotary engine, but was replaced with a French-designed and produced PRV (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo) fuel injected V-6 because of the poor fuel economy of the rotary engine, an important issue at a time of world-wide fuel shortages. Collins and DeLorean envisioned a chassis produced from a new and untested manufacturing technology known as Elasti...

Mexico's First Exotic Sports Car
This beefy-looking sport is claimed to be Mexico's first homegrown automobile, created by the Mastretta brothers in Mexico City. The Mastretta MXT is powered by a mid-mounted, Cosworth-developed turbocharged 2.0-liter Ford Duratec, with 240 bhp fed through a 5-speed transaxle. The Mastretta's are claiming a 150-mph top speed and 0–60-mph in less than five seconds.
The car's light weight can be attributed to its chassis construction, which is based around aluminum extrusions, box sections and a carbon-fiber/aluminum sandwich floor; bodywork is fibergl...
