BY Kit EatonMon Mar 30, 2009 at 2:32 PM..It expects to start selling cars in Europe and Asia in February 2009, and expand into the U.S. three to six months later...
A site has also been identified to assemble the first ever pure electric sports car in Michigan, with production to start in August. The dedicated production facility will have an annual capacity of 2,500 sports cars. Detroit Electric aims to create over 180 sales and manufacturing-related jobs over the next 12 months.
Following five years of relentless research and engineering development, the first model to carry the renowned Detroit Electric logo will be a limited-edition two-seat sports car. Certain to quicken pulses thanks to its bold styling, outstanding performance, exhilarating handling characteristics and impressive range, this new sports car will be launched early next month in Detroit, ahead of a global public reveal at the Shanghai Motor Show on 20 April. The show will also provide the platform for Detroit Electric to share an exciting announcement about a major partnership with a global carmaker.

Hmm, first time I'm hearing of this.
I'm more then sure they are take things seriously! Like 270,000 EV in 2012 is no joke!if they take things seriously
You nailed it! They started as Dutch group converting Elise. Then they moved into UK and wanted Lotus to assemble cars for them. Then they got into co-development thing with Dongfeng Motor.As an aside, the "20 April" thing is typically a European way of saying dates
Ofcourse they are! You probably were playing poker at the back during geography classes - you should use Google Maps to figure out on what continent Detroit is located...but they're an American company?
