2009 Dodge Circuit EV Dodge first showed us the EV concept as part a trio of electrics it was working on back in September. Now Chrysler is giving the car it’s full debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It was pretty evident to sports car fans that the EV was a Lotus Europa with a battery pack. We don’t think Dodge was being unoriginal for trying to pass a Lotus off as its own. Lotus’ lightweight platforms are a good base for electric vehicles, just look at the Elise-based Tesla Roadster.
The Circuit EV is powered by a completely electric ENVI drivetrain that delivers 268 hp. The concept makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in less than 5 seconds, while top speed goes up to 120 mph. It can even outrun a Dodge Challenger in a drag race. But if you’re not so hard on the throttle, Dodge says the EV can go 150 to 200 miles between charges.

2009 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic
If you’re going to go retro, why not go all the way? Dodge revealed a special edition called the Challenger R/T Classic, which takes even more elements from the original 70s Challenger.
The price for this extra throwback is $34,005, which is a $3,460 premium over the base price of a regular Challenger R/T. But with this extra cash comes some extra goodies. This includes dual throwback A-line body-side R/T stripes, ‘Challenger’ fender badging in classic script, large 20-inch polished-chrome heritage wheels with all-season performance tires, classic egg-crate grille with heritage ‘R/T’ badge, body-color rear spoiler and chromed fuel-filler door.
The R/T Classic is powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that delivers 376 hp and a peak torque of 410 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the same powerplant as the regular R/T, so 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds should be expected in the R/T Classic.
