What is the purpose of the huge openings in the grille? Is the electric motor water cooled, or are they just for extra wind resistance? I'm betting that if they actually build this car, it would not look like this at all, as the lack of an internal combustion engine would afford them the ability to use a much shorter hood if they get creative with battery placement. Ford showed a similar car last year, but that one was not filled with empty space and sat three people.

Dodge thinks they have to pay tribute to the Ram pickup in everything they build now. But it is pretty cool otherwise.

You can fit a large V6 motor in the front. I can see this car having the electric to combustion motor swaps.

The Headlights look kind of like those used on an Acura RSX

I would like to know what chassis this car is based on -- is it an original or a stretched Elise? **Look at the windshield, mirrors and location of vent on the hood.

Another interesting point, where is the location of the engine?

That's actually a pretty neat car. Some Viper-esque characteristics. I bet that would be fun to drive around some winding roads.
