Dodge EV drag race

The lightweight nature of Lotus cars is starting to make it a favorite of the electric crowd. The Tesla Roadster is based on the Lotus Elise, and Dodge’s EV is a thinly rebadged Lotus Europa with a battery pack. Now that Tesla has some street cred with its Roadster, Dodge is looking for some of its own by racing its own stablemate, the Challenger SRT-8.
