The Dodge Circuit EV displays bold exterior and interior styling with
outstanding performance, zero gasoline consumption and zero tailpipe
emissions.
The Dodge Circuit EV design screams pure sports car from every angle.
The Dodge Circuit EV's profile demonstrates perfect proportions for
balanced handling, placing the driver and passenger midway along the
wheelbase. At the front of the vehicle, the distinctive Dodge crosshair
grille splits the wind, sending it over the long, low hood and cleanly
over the windshield and cockpit. The body sides feature a deep scallop,
providing visual depth and also a functional rear-brake air duct. At the
rear, the functional elements blend with design to create a uniform
finish.
"The exterior styling of the Dodge Circuit EV mates bold Dodge styling
to the no-compromise performance attributes of an all-electric
performance sports car," said Ralph Gilles, Vice President - Design,
Chrysler LLC. "The Dodge Circuit EV offers an extremely fun-to-drive,
expressive sports car without fuel consumption and with virtually no
impact on the environment."
The Dodge Circuit EV is adorned in all-new "Tangoreen" exterior color,
wearing large "EV" graphics on both sides of the sports car.
The uncomplicated interior of the Dodge Circuit EV delivers a
combination of pure function and athletic refinement. The cockpit design
puts complete control of the car at the driver's fingertips. Nestled
within a leather-covered instrument cluster are two primary analog-face
gauges. A digital display conveys information regarding the
electric-drive system.
The seats feature deep bolsters and are covered in premium leather. The
same premium leather covers the center console and the width of the
instrument panel.
The Dodge Circuit EV delivers all of the convenience features of a
performance sports car, including premium sound system, power windows
and door locks, air conditioning, speed control.
Propelled by a completely electric ENVI drivetrain, the Dodge Circuit EV
posts impressive performance numbers:
= 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds
= ¼-mile in 13 seconds
= Top speed of more than 120 mph
Perhaps the most impressive Dodge Circuit EV number, however, is zero.
That's how much gasoline the vehicle consumes while providing
exhilarating sports car performance. It's also how much tailpipe
emissions are produced.
The Dodge Circuit EV utilizes just three powertrain components. These
include a 200 kW (268 horsepower) electric motor to drive the wheels, an
advanced lithium-ion battery system to power the electric-drive motor,
and a controller that manages energy flow.
Working with the latest advanced lithium-ion battery technology, the
Dodge Circuit EV has a driving range of 150 to 200 miles between charges
- more than triple the average daily commute of most consumers.
Recharging the vehicle is a simple one-step process: plugging into a
standard 110-volt household outlet. The recharge time can be cut in half
by using a typical 220-volt household appliance power outlet.
The Dodge Circuit EV offers driving enthusiasts a performance sports car
that can be driven to work every day - without consuming gasoline or
producing tailpipe emissions.
