Dodge has a fascinating history of creating hot compacts, a single prominent instance being the Omni GLHS by Shelby, although 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 substantially to make it digestible to more discerning enthusiasts.
Painted in vibrant orange with matte black as a contrast color, and fitted with a prominent rear spoiler and diffuser, this Dart R/T concept looks pleasantly aggressive. But it also appears rather refined, thanks to a revised front fascia that turns the grille into a slit, although generating a large decrease air intake visually separated by a physique-colored strip. This feeds far more air to the intercooler, Dodge says. We say it just looks cool.
The flat-black aluminum hood incorporates a massive duct that not only appears great, but also feeds further air to the unspecified engine’s intake box (the hood will be obtainable as a Mopar add-on beginning early subsequent year). Fiat-Chrysler claims the Dart R/T idea appears “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-searching Dart. With 18-inch lightweight wheels, a large-brake kit, and adjustable coil-more than suspension from the Mopar catalog, it promises far better road manners, also.
Who knows—this idea may truly inspire a series-production variant and add yet another chapter to Dodge’s remarkable history of compact higher-performance beasts. Provided the Dart’s basic “meh”-ness, we believe such a car can not arrive quickly enough.
