The Dodge ZEO is a 2+2 sports car concept powered by an
all-electric drivetrain. The powertrain consists of a
64 kilowatt-hour, lithium-ion battery pack driving a 200
kilowatt (268 horsepower) electric motor turning the rear
wheels. This setup gives the Dodge ZEO a 0-60 mph time
of just 5.7 seconds, while also allowing for a 250 mile
range.
The exterior design of the ZEO was Inspired in part by
the architecture of a Möbius strip. The rakish A-pillars
curve into extended roof rails that twist and converge
as they move rearward. The windshield glass continues
in an unbroken, curving plane nearly to the rear of the
car, giving both front and rear passengers an unimpeded,
all-around view while simultaneously showcasing the ZEO's
stylish interior.
Access to the Dodge ZEO is via scissor doors both front
and rear. Inside Dodge have designed the interior to appeal
to younger, gadget-aware buyers. "The Dodge ZEO concept
is an example of designing for people who are used to
a dynamic lifestyle and who are surrounded with information
and virtual friends at all times," says Lou Gasevski,
principal interior designer of the Dodge ZEO concept.
