This announcement comes after just last month E-Cite revealed that its RJ9 truck RJ9 raised the bar for the entire truck industry surpassing Tesla, Rivian, and all OEM manufacturers delivering a groundbreaking 900-mile total range, the highest of any production pickup, electric or gas, but does so while offering an unprecedented level of luxury, comfort, and driving intelligence never before seen in the truck category.

The original Kaiser-Darrin, penned by famed designer Howard "Dutch" Darrin, holds a prestigious place in automotive history as America's first fiberglass-bodied sports car, debuting in 1954. Renowned for its elegant sliding pocket doors and sculpted European-influenced design, it remains a crown jewel among American collectibles and a symbol of bold automotive design.

E-Cite's EV-DT "Dutch Touch" retains the spirit of the original, reimagined as a cutting-edge EV that utilizes the company's proprietary aluminum chassis and driveline architecture, shared with the EV-GT and EV-C3 models. This allows for breathtaking performance, ultra-responsive handling, and a design faithful to its lineage yet optimized for modern efficiency and safety.

"The Kaiser-Darrin is one of the most elegant American sports cars ever created, and we're honored to bring it into the modern electric age," said Barry Henthorn, CEO of E-Cite Motors. "By leveraging our modular aluminum chassis and electric driveline systems, we can offer exhilarating performance while preserving the iconic design that made the original so unforgettable."

The EV-DT is built on E-Cite's revolutionary lightweight aluminum chassis, which has been engineered to accommodate multiple vehicle types and battery configurations. The vehicle will also share the proven driveline technology developed for the EV-GT and EV-C3 platforms, enabling rapid development cycles, reduced production costs, and best-in-class efficiency and sustainability.
