2012 Dodge Charger SRT8

The new product onslaught continues for the Dodge brand with the announcement at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show that the Dodge Charger SRT8 will return for the 2012 model year.



"We're continuing the fast-paced rebuilding of Dodge as our performance brand, and the expansion of our SRT product lineup in 2012 is an important part of our rejuvenation," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO, Dodge Brand — Chrysler Group LLCs. "The new 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 builds on the iconic four-door fastback coupe design of the all-new Charger and adds a much larger power band across the rpm range, along with intelligent performance attributes and safety and creature comforts for customers who are passionate about performance driving."



The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 will be built at the Brampton Assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and will be in dealer showrooms in late 2011.



"AWE-INSPIRING" POWERTRAIN



Under the hood, the new 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 delivers more horsepower and torque than the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 it replaces. It also will offer improved fuel economy.



Estimated power ratings for the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 are 465 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, including an estimated additional 80 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,900 rpm. Specific horsepower, torque and fuel economy numbers will be announced closer to the vehicle introduction.



Building upon the standard Fuel Saver technology (four-cylinder mode) found in the new 6.4 HEMI V-8, a new for 2012 adaptive valve exhaust system allows the technology to engage over a wider rpm range, which delivers improved fuel efficiency or the use of all eight cylinders when the power is needed.



An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing provides maximum low-end torque for impressive standing starts while optimizing high-end power.



For the first time in any Chrysler Group LLC SRT product, standard paddle-shift technology joins the standard AutoStick on the floor shifter. Both are mated to the proven W5A580 five-speed automatic transmission, allowing a choice of spirited shifting on the road and the racetrack.



Both shifting methods give the driver the ability to shift while the transmission controller calibration prevents situations that might over rev the engine. Fully adaptive electronic control of all shifting makes the powertrain more responsive while minimizing harshness.



OUTSTANDING RIDE AND HANDLING



New for 2012, the Dodge Charger SRT8 features an adaptive damping suspension that uses a wide range of on-road and driver inputs, such as vehicle speed, steering angle, steering speed, brake torque, throttle position and lateral acceleration, to automatically tune the suspension for specific conditions. Drivers also can manually choose between "Auto" and "Sport" settings that quickly change the shock damping and harshness characteristics from the ease of everyday commuting to harsher, more challenging driving situations.



The performance SRT-tuned, fully hydraulic steering system also is improved with a new, heavy-duty pump and revised gearing to give drivers more direct feel and on-center response.



New, split five-spoke, 20-inch lightweight forged and polished aluminum wheels with black painted pockets provide great looks, and the available three- or four-season tires make the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 easy to handle and fun to drive.



OUTSTANDING BRAKING



World-class stopping power for the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 comes through four-piston Brembo calipers and vented/slotted rotors measuring 14.2 inches up front and 13.8 inches in the rear.



The Dodge Charger SRT8's Ready Alert Braking system anticipates situations when the driver may initiate an emergency brake stop and engages the electronic stability control pump to set brake pads against rotors in order to decrease the time required for full brake application.



AGGRESSIVE AND FUNCTIONAL EXTERIOR



Exclusive new front and rear fascias, along with a new rear spoiler, distinguish the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 with a high performance look.



The front grille, grille surround and Dodge crosshair feature high-gloss black finishes and the SRT badge. A newly sculpted hood features a 6.4 L (liter) badge and black air exhauster for added engine cooling.



In the rear, the Charger's new signature "racetrack" taillamp design with 164 illuminating LEDs receives new 4-inch round dual exhaust tips and an SRT8 decklid badge to boldly show the Street and Racing Technology DNA.



Unique fside-sill cladding is painted to match the body color.



A newly designed underbody belly pan features integrated brake ducting to improve cooling and brake fade performance at all four corners.



RACE-INSPIRED AND FUNCTIONAL INTERIOR



Building upon the all-new design from 2011, the interior environment of the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 combines more world-class accommodations with race-inspired technology and appointments.



An all-new, leather-wrapped, SRT-exclusive steering wheel features a unique rim section with a flattened bottom surface that showcases the SRT logo. The standard paddle shifters flank both sides of the new steering wheel behind the new contoured palm rests.



For the high-performance look, carbon-weave, fiber aluminum interior trim pieces are integrated into the new instrument panel and shifter bezel.



The front seats have unique, aggressive bolstering and perforated suede insert fabric to help "grip" the driver and passengers, keeping them in place during spirited driving. Heated and ventilated front seats are standard. Reactive headrests also are standard. The SRT logo is embroidered in the seat backs. Rear seats also are heated for passenger comfort.



Modified door trim panels feature unique bolster material and accent stitching on arm rests to match the seats.



New for 2012, the Dodge Charger SRT8 features a 900-watt, 19-speaker premium SRT performance audio surround-sound system from Harmon Kardon. The intuitive user interface for the system is controlled through the state-of-the-art Uconnect® Touch on the largest standard touchscreen display (8.4-inch) in the segment. Benchmarked against the best E-segment sedans from Europe, Asia and North America, the easy-to-use system also features Uconnect Voice to deliver world-class functionality to keep all passengers easily connected, comfortable and secure.



Exclusive Performance Pages are new for 2012 and included within the touchscreen display. The instrument panel display can be customized to view driver preferences and expanded to include instant feedback on steering input measurements, horsepower, torque, expanded engine information, along with 0-60 mph time, 60-0 braking, g-forces and one-eighth mile and quarter-mile times. The color graphic Electronic Vehicle Information Center also includes the Performance Pages timers and added engine information.



SAFETY AND SECURITY



For everyday commuting, the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 incorporates features like Keyless Enter-N-Go, adaptive-cruise control with Forward Collision Warning and Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, to keep drivers and passengers secure.



Standard front-row reactive head restraints, standard full-length side-curtain air bags, driver's knee bag and standard front seat-mounted side-thorax air bags offer enhanced occupant protection to passengers in the event of a collision.



Standard three-mode electronic stability control with segment-exclusive Ready Alert Braking and Rain Brake Support safety features, offer improved overall vehicle handling and performance both on the road and the track.

2011 Dodge Avenger

Press Release



An All-new Dynamic for the 2011 Dodge Avenger: A Mid-size Sedan Designed, Engineered for Spirited Performance



October 28, 2010 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -



Dodge today introduced the new Dodge Avenger, totally overhauled for 2011 with an all-new interior, a redesigned exterior and performance attributes that put the "fun" in functional. A new powertrain lineup and completely redesigned and retuned suspension mean drivers will experience Dodge's fun-to-drive dynamics in a front-wheel-drive mid-size sedan.



The Avenger's "fun to drive" quotient rises exponentially for 2011 with a significantly upgraded suspension to give drivers agile, confident, handling performance in all driving situations, whether it's a spirited adventure on twisty roads or an emergency maneuver.



Dodge engineers retuned or redesigned virtually every part of the suspension for 2011, including 26 of 30 suspension bushings. The suspension and the geometry were completely rethought. The track is an inch wider, tire width increased from 215 to 225 millimeters and the vehicle is 12 millimeters lower in the front and 6 millimeters in the rear for a more aggressive stance. Customers will feel more confident when driving the new Avenger because of less body roll, less vehicle shake, improved isolation, better steering precision, response and feel and the increased grip of new premium tires.



A new and improved powertrain lineup also contributes to the 2011 Avenger's driving experience. The vehicles has a standard 2.4-liter World Gas Engine, which has been recalibrated and is now available mated to a new smooth-shifting six-speed transmission for an exceptionally fun and fuel-efficient driving experience. Avenger customers also can opt for the new Pentastar V-6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that gives customers the best of both worlds – best-in-class 283 horsepower (an increase of 20 percent compared with the engine it replaces) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque (an increase of 12 percent) combined with competitive fuel economy.



New exterior styling features clean, smooth aggressive lines. The new fascia sports the new signature Dodge Brand "split crosshair" grille, while an aggressive lower fascia completes the Dodge look from top to bottom.



The Chrysler Group LLC's Interior Design Studio also worked its magic on the new 2011 Avenger. The all-new instrument panel, bezels, gauge faces and new Dodge steering wheel transform the driver seat into a cockpit-like experience. Upgraded seats incorporate more cushion material and revised spring geometry. Dodge Avenger also features several new two-tone interior color schemes, new leather and cloth seating materials and accent stitching. Owners can select from these schemes to design a vehicle that matches their lifestyle needs.



Designers developed the 2011 Dodge Avenger with new "soft touch" armrests and instrument panels, new, premium interior finishes for touch points that are not only pleasing to the touch but also to the eye. They also redesigned the heating and cooling outlets in the instrument panel to make them more appealing and better functioning. The 2011 Dodge Avenger also offers one of the quietest cabins in the segment with 45 new or upgraded sound-deadening treatments integrated throughout the vehicle.



Clever features include new ambient interior lighting and a new multi-function three-spoke Dodge steering wheel with integrated controls that allows drivers to operate the radio, cruise control, hands-free phone and other vehicle functions while keeping their hands on the wheel. Available cool technology includes voice command functions for hands-free phones, integrated USB port for streaming music, navigation and memo record, an iPod/MP3 jack, Bluetooth streaming music; Gracenote music identification; a hard drive that stores approximately 6,700 songs and remote start.



The standard mid-size sedan segment is the largest vehicle segment in the United States, with more than 1.6 million vehicles sold in 2009. The 2011 Dodge Avenger is uniquely positioned as an alternative for consumers looking for a sedan with more style, personality and performance than the segment is traditionally known for.



The 2011 Dodge Avenger will be built at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., and will arrive in dealerships in the fourth quarter this year.

Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Avenger With Specification and Prices

Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Avenger With Specification and Prices

The Dodge Avenger is expected to cease production in Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012. This means that the 2011 edition may carry into the calendar year Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 as the final model or a new model year will be introduced sometime in Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 and be the final item in the lineup. It has not appeared in any car shows and those prospects are unlikely considering the model’s mediocre sales record.


Dodge Avenger Model History

The Dodge Avenger appeared in 2008 as an entry into the mid-sized sedan market. Traditionally, the most competitive American auto market, the Avenger has struggled to find its footing. It shares its platform with the Chrysler Sebring, though aspires to be a sportier, more driver-friendly version. In an effort to distinguish itself, the Avenger came available with MyGIG, Sirius Satellite and navigation system. An integrated music jukebox program, as well as a rear-seat video system, was offered.


Some enthusiasts or former owners may remember the Dodge Avenger when it arrived in coupe form in 1995. That model lived on for about five years, and since then the Avenger name has been absent from the market. Following the release of the redesigned 2007 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge brings back the Avenger for 2008 as a sedan that is based on its Chrysler sibling but with markedly different looks.

Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Caliber Preview With Prices And Specification

Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Caliber Preview With Prices And Specification

Chrysler-Dodge has merged with Italian automaker Fiat, and the compact Caliber will be significantly renovated in Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012. The kinder and gentler Caliber will make its appearance in early 2011 and will be the first example of what this bilingual partnership might be producing in the future. The preeminent change will be the utilization of Fiat’s superbly designed C-Evo frame. A major problem with the previous Caliber was its rattle trap platform, which produced a loud, jarring ride.

Dodge Caliber Interior Design

Fiats have also been recognized for their sterling consoles and overall high end interiors. The materials used in these interiors are of very high caliber, which will be quite innovative for a car that has been noted for its very inferior interiors.

Small family cars are getting better and better, so the Caliber already seems a good few years out of date. It’s not a bad car, but unfortunately it battles with rivals in probably the most competitive sector of the market. The handling is poor and prone to understeer because the suspension is set up for comfort, and the cabin is swathed in hard, scratchy plastics. The driving position also suffers because there isn’t enough steering wheel adjustment.

MOPAR fans are going to be extremely pleased with the current plans for the Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Challenger, but that may or may not change as the new FIAT-infused management sees fit. Current plans include minor tweaks to the sheet metal, a emblem-less nose, and brand new engines for entry-level and high-end models. All models are expected to hit the streets in late 2011, though the SRT8 refresh might be delayed a little longer as its proposed motor may be scrapped and replaced by a Pentastar-based motor instead.

Dodge Charger Performance Specifications

The new Pentastar 3.7-liter V-6 engine is expected in the SE and SXT models, which could boost horsepower from its current output of 250hp to 290hp. The R/T and SRT-8 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V-8 engines look to remain unchanged.

Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Viper Preview With Specification And prices

The brand new Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Viper is the epitome of what the modern American sports car should be.

The new model of the Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Viper has only been visual shown to car dealers. The actual showing of this new vehicle will occur closer to the release date.

Competition to the Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Viper

If you are considering making a purchase of the new Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Viper, then some other vehicles you could consider in a similar class include: the Acura RSX, the Audi TT, the BMW M3 or M5, and the Mercedes Benz CLK class. These models are comparable to the Viper in price, performance and luxury. However, if horsepower is your top priority than few vehicles compare–that are listed around the same price.


The crazy, manly Dodge Viper SRT10 was lifted to a full 600 hp for the 2008 model year. Now, only months later, Dodge brings out an even hotter version, the ACR - American Club Racer.

What Dodge says:
- The engine is left alone: 8.4-liter pushrod V-10 with 600 hp at 6100 rpm and 560 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. Max engine speed is still 6250 RPM.
- The 6-speed Tremec T56 transmission and the GKN ViscoLok speed-sensing limited-slip differential also caries over from the standard Viper.

Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Nitro Introduction

A few industry analysts are expecting big things from Dodge in Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012, and many believe that a Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Nitro show car may be unveiled in Guangzhou or Shanghai sometime during the spring or early summer of 2011. The full version of the vehicle would go on sale later that year as an early Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 model. Expectations vary by pundit, but a CUV with aggressive styling is certainly not too outlandish to consider. An early show car labeled the Dodge Magnum Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 has already done the trade show circuit in mid- to late- 2010, and may serve as a longer/lengthier version of the Upcoming Cars in 2011 and 2012 Dodge Nitro with less attitude and smaller wheels.
