Dodge has a fascinating history of building hot compacts, 1 prominent example being the Omni GLHS by Shelby, whilst the Caliber SRT4 marked a low point in terms of style and refinement. For the 2014 SEMA show in Las Vegas, the carmaker has taken its sensible Dart and tweaked it drastically to make it digestible to much more discerning enthusiasts.
Painted in bright orange with matte black as a contrast colour, and fitted with a prominent rear spoiler and diffuser, this Dart R/T notion appears pleasantly aggressive. But it also appears rather refined, thanks to a revised front fascia that turns the grille into a slit, whilst making a massive reduce air intake visually separated by a physique-colored strip. This feeds much more air to the intercooler, Dodge says. We say it just appears cool.
The flat-black aluminum hood incorporates a big duct that not only seems awesome, but also feeds added air to the unspecified engine’s intake box (the hood will be available as a Mopar add-on starting early next year). Fiat-Chrysler claims the Dart R/T concept seems “poised to strike worry in the competitors.” We wouldn’t go that far, but we will say that the package is an impressive improvement more than the already sleek-looking Dart. With 18-inch lightweight wheels, a huge-brake kit, and adjustable coil-over suspension from the Mopar catalog, it promises far better road manners, also.
Who knows—this notion might truly inspire a series-production variant and add another chapter to Dodge’s outstanding history of compact high-overall performance beasts. Offered the Dart’s common “meh”-ness, we feel such a auto can not arrive speedily enough.
