RECENT REPORTS suggest that the newly re-organised Chrysler is giving serious consideration to bringing the stunning 200C concept to market as a RWD replacement for the poorly performing Sebring and Avenger product lines - a move that would undoubtedly have Pentastar fans everywhere jumping for joy.
The Sebring and Avenger aren’t long for this world, with [...]
ALFA ROMEO’S planned successor to the 166 executive saloon, the 169, is reportedly going to be built off Chrysler’s LX large-car platform, the very same platform that underpins the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300C.
Talk of a Chrysler-based Alfa isn’t new, though. We first spoke of such plans earlier this month, and the idea of the [...]
WITH US MILITARY recruitment hitting an all-time low, the US Air Force is exploring new ways to draw interest from potential recruits. One such strategy involved building two very crazy concepts based on the 2009 Dodge Challenger and the 2009 Ford Mustang.
Teaming up with California-based Galpin Auto Sport, the USAF transformed the Challenger into a [...]
Chrysler Australia has announced a new Limited Edition Dodge Nitro. Limited to just 100 vehicles, Dodge has dubbed the extra value Nitro, the SX-R.
The SX-R is based on the Dodge Nitro SX, with the addition of extra features that add to the “comfort, convenience and style” (Chrysler’s words) of the Nitro.
First up there is a standard [...]
It’s no secret that Chrysler has been looking to offload the Viper nameplate for a while now, the allure of pocketing a few extra pennies proving too hard to resist in these harsh economic times. According to Jim Press, Chrysler’s co-President and senior public relations man, Chrysler currently has three buyers showing an interest.
The sale [...]
VFACTS figures released today contain confirmation of a dramatic slowdown in sales, some emerging trends and a couple of surprises. So what will we discuss first… the good news, of which there’s some? Or the bad news, of which there is quite a lot?
Let’s start with the grinners.
In the passenger car market, Hyundai has got [...]
What do you get when you combine a Lotus Europa chassis with an all-electric drivetrain and dress it up with some distinctly Dodge styling? A fatter, more American Tesla Roadster? Kinda, except the Chrysler group calls it the Dodge Circuit EV.
Officially unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show yesterday, the Circuit (ha ha, geddit?) is Chrysler’s [...]
The credit crisis continues to adversely affect the North American market, with reports that new car buyers are continuing to find it difficult to obtain credit to finance their new car purchases. As a result, Chrysler LLC has announced that it will make significant adjustments to the production schedules of its manufacturing operations.
The ‘significant adjustments’ [...]
Despite its various fiscal misfortunes and reputation for churning out soul-less and unexciting pickups and minivans, Chrysler did get at least two things right: it built the Dodge Viper way back in the 1990s, and earlier this year, it revived a long-dead nameplate and launched the beautiful, brawny and incredibly popular third-generation Challenger.
So then, what [...]
Chrysler executives have reportedly confirmed that either the Jeep Liberty (known here as the Cherokee) or the Dodge Nitro will be phased out by 2012. Both of these mid-size SUVS are built on the same production line in Toledo, Ohio, and share the same platform and engine lineup, and - to be brutally honest [...]
It would seem that I may have to revise my Lords of the Ring article already…
American motoring magazine Motortrend has posted a video of the Dodge Viper ACR lapping the Nurburgring Nordschleife in an amazing 7:22. That’s 4 seconds faster than the Corvette ZR-1’s record time.
To be fair however, everything in the Viper ACR is [...]
Chrysler is reportedly pondering selling off the Dodge Viper in an effort to rid itself of the low-profit line and get some cash in the process. Chrysler Chairman and CEO Bob Nardelli is apparently keen to dispose of the Viper to free up resources that could otherwise go towards maximising the profitability of the company.
“We have [...]
Last week I was overjoyed to hear that my 63-year-old mother was finally in the market for a new car. My secret master plan was to pick out a future classic for her so that when she was ready to sell it, I’d have a golden opportunity to buy the mintest little-old-lady car on Earth.
Which of the big three in the US – Ford, GM or Chrysler – will end up in bankruptcy? Will more than one, or all three, bite the dust? These are the questions being asked in Wall Street as sales stagnate, losses deepen, and values collapse for the giant American auto-makers in the world’s largest [...]
The Tonight Show’s host, Jay Leno has just taken delivery of one of the first Dodge Challenger SRT-8’s, well actually number four to be precise. I’m not sure what the other guys on TMR think but for me, the new Challenger is the sexiest U.S. muscle car ever - what a damn shame they [...]
If you are interested in car photography then the following video is for you. Aside from featuring the super sexy 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, Andrew Yeadon from Carpix.net gets together with the guys at Streetfire.net and gives us the low-down on how the professionals go about photographing a car.
The black Challenger was snapped for Top [...]
Someone needs to tell the folks over at Dodge that their yet to be built 2008 Challenger SRT-8 is a roaring sales success. With more than 6,000 deposits in hand and an expected first year production run of only 4,000 units, there is little left for Dodge to sell. They’ve sold the sausage and the [...]
When it comes to modern American muscle there is absolutely no doubt that the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is the one that “fries my burger” best. Forget the Viper and Corvette, Mustang or even the yet to be released Camaro, they just don’t “do cool” as well as the Challenger – and I’m not alone [...]
Hennessey have released two more images of there Venom GT supercar. We showed you the first concept sketch back in November and now you can see the super-light, super-powerful, Viper V10 powered extreme machine from the rear…with the wing up and down.
With what appears to be more than a touch of Lotus Elise the Venom [...]
The new and absolutely stunning 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 has had its pricing announced – twice. First time around the price was listed as $US37,995 and most recently the price has been re-announced as starting at $US40,995.
According to the guys at Autoblog, who contacted Chrysler, the reason for the increase is a $US2,100 “gas-guzzler” penalty [...]
Hennessey is not a company well known in Australia but their reputation in the States is well known by car enthusiasts. Hennessey specialise in taking factory performance cars from mild to wild with the development and fitting of purpose built tuning parts. They have waved their tuning wand over a number of America’s best known [...]
About as mad as a factory Viper gets, the SRT10 ACR (American Club Racer) is a light weight be-winged version of the already ludicrous 2008 600hp V10 Viper.
Lots of plastic and the usual dodgy (pardon the pun) interior that comes with Vipers but who cares - its the wild looks and that V10 that define [...]
With production of the 2008 Viper SRT10 just getting underway Dodge haven’t wasted any time letting another V10 bullet off the chain, this time in the form of a purpose built, street-legal track Viper dubbed the American Club Racer (ACR).
The ACR version of the Viper features the same 8.4-litre 447kW/600hp as found in the “standard” [...]
Dodge have recently confirmed the manufacturing launch of their 2008 SRT10 Viper. As if the Viper wasn’t already crazy enough Dodge have equipped the 2008 SRT10 with an 8.4-litre 600-horsepower (450kW) V-10 engine, enough to see it accelerate from 0-60mph (96kmh) in less than 4 seconds and 0-100-0mph in the low 12-second range. Click through [...]
We only recently reported on some sightings of the upcoming Dodge Challenger coupe, arguably the prettiest of the current crop of retro American muscle in or nearing production.
Fervently hoping that the new Challenger coupe would be Chrysler Australia’s headline act in the near future we have today had our hopes dashed by the folks at [...]
While the upcoming GM Camaro is definitely a head turner for all of the right reasons when it comes to future American muscle the Dodge Challenger is my personal favourite. It manages to combine sensuous and tough into a styling package that is just about perfect.
Car Magazine have managed to obtain some pictures of a [...]
Hard on the heels of the Chrysler Sebring’s arrival in Australia is a leaked internal Chrysler memo suggesting that not even Chrylser are happy with their new Sebring and Dodge Nitro models.
Apparently Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda is quite upset and many employees are outraged with how the Sebring and Nitro have turned out. Mr Bob [...]
UPDATE 11/05/07 - It may not come as a shock that the auction sale for John Schneider’s Dukes of Hazzard Charger appears to have fallen through…
“As the week has progressed, it appears more and more evident that the winning bidder from my ‘Bo’s General Lee’ auction has no intention of coming up with the promised [...]
