Dodge will not create an electric Viper any time soon - sorry.

Neat car though!

I really hope that these electric vehicles catch on- 200 miles on a single charge? Awesome :P

It will be Viper price. But why do they want to compete with Testla?

It says right in the bloody article it's just a shell to hide the powertrain :banghead:


Lotus Europa body hides Dodge's new electric sports car platform
It looks just like a Europa because it is a Europa :rofl:

I agree with Destinova, I'd like to see them put it in the Demon.

if it gets 200 miles i would be interested in one for sure, good performance numbers and enough range for city driving and short road trips.

Forget the Demon, I'd rather see them revive the Razor (electric or not) The Demon looks too much like a Viper wannabe to me.
