Detroit auto show: Cars of the future

Some wild - and some not so wild - ideas from the major auto manufacturers.

Dodge ZEO
Dodge ZEO
ZEO stands for Zero Emission Operation.

Described as a 2 2 sport wagon - meaning it has small back seats - the ZEO does not have any form of on-board power generation. It is purely a plug-in vehicle with an expected range, Chrysler says, of 250 miles on a charge.

The ZEO is supposed to be a performance car, fitting the image of Dodge as Chrysler Corp.'s performance brand. To emphasize that, its design features a long hood despite the fact that it wouldn't have a big gasoline engine. It will ride on huge 23-inch wheels

Powered by a 200-kilowatt (268 horsepower) electric motor, the ZEO is capable of zero-to-60 times of less than six seconds, making it as quick as Chrysler's Hemi V8-powered cars of today.
