Gentlemen, we have a race … OK, that’s how you start a Gold Cup event, but what the hell, it applies here.
Enough’s enough, as far as I’m concerned … lots of roll outs of electric “cars” that “hopefully” will be seen in prototype form by 2013, half-thought out golf carts calling themselves cars … besides Tesla, everyone is just running press releases up the flag pole and see who salutes.
Dodge plays different though, seems like they got a bunch of new electric cars in the pipeline, and they’ll be out by 2010, but the one that interests me the most is the sportscar version seen here. Based on the upcoming Lotus Europa (or if not in actuality, it sure LOOKS like it is), it seems to be a serious car.
Dodger says the EV sports a lithium-ion battery pack with a 150-200 mile range, and, can sprint from 0-60 in less than 5 seconds.
OK, we’ll see if it lives up to that.
But if this comes to market as promised, heres the scenario I see in the not to distant future:
It’s 2011 and you’re blasting down the coast road, heading out of Pacifica, up and over that hill by Rockaway, just before the surf parking lot you stop at that light, wanting to get up and over and see how your new Dodge EV sportscar handles The Devil’s Slide … when pulling onto the road from the left comes some guy in his Tesla.
Gentlemen, we have a race … not that I would encourage or condone ANYTHING like that.
