Dodge has a fascinating history of creating hot compacts, one prominent example becoming the Omni GLHS by Shelby, even though 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 a lot 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 idea looks pleasantly aggressive. But it also looks rather refined, thanks to a revised front fascia that turns the grille into a slit, even though creating a massive reduce air intake visually separated by a physique-colored strip. This feeds a lot more air to the intercooler, Dodge says. We say it just appears cool.
The flat-black aluminum hood incorporates a huge duct that not only seems awesome, but also feeds additional air to the unspecified engine’s intake box (the hood will be available as a Mopar add-on starting early subsequent year). Fiat-Chrysler claims the Dart R/T notion appears “poised to strike fear in the competition.” We wouldn’t go that far, but we will say that the package is an impressive improvement over the currently sleek-looking Dart. With 18-inch lightweight wheels, a huge-brake kit, and adjustable coil-more than suspension from the Mopar catalog, it promises far better road manners, as well.
Who knows—this concept might actually inspire a series-production variant and add an additional chapter to Dodge’s outstanding history of compact higher-overall performance beasts. Given the Dart’s basic “meh”-ness, we believe such a vehicle cannot arrive rapidly adequate.
