Lotus City Car - Terminal Velocity

Lotus City Car - Terminal Velocity
Lotus City Car - European Car Magazine
An electric car with 177 lb-ft of torque, it weighs less than 3,100 pounds, and it has a three-cylinder 1.2-liter internal combustion engine that works as a range extender.

Not only does Lotus have five new cars doing the motor show rounds, which is more or less unheard of, it has released details of yet another. This is the Lotus City Car Concept. Or maybe it should just be called City Car, since there are plans to put it into production by October 2013. It’s an electric car with 177 lb-ft of torque, it weighs less than 3,100 pounds, and it has a three-cylinder 1.2-liter internal combustion engine that works as a range extender. Zero to 60 mph happens in nine seconds, top speed is 106 mph, and battery-only range is 37 miles. Cute thing, though. Like a Smart, only smarter.
