This car is included as a mid-sized car with a rear drive system. Auburn Hills is a place in which this car has been developed. In this model, the Fiat/Alfa engineers are embedded. It has been reported that the automaker has spent for about two years in developing this car. In this case, it is not caused by the level of complication of this car. It is caused by finance and marketing.
Originally, the automaker would like to rebuild the 2014 Barracuda SRT8 in which the challengers will be inspiration. However, this plan is cancelled. This car will be a new Challenger with a modified platform. A 6.2-liter supercharged Helmi will be applied under the hood of this car. In fact, a 2.0-liter to 6.2-liter are choices to be placed under the hood.
Meanwhile, there are several engines starting from four till eight-cylinder engines. On the other hand, the automaker still uses the conventional transmission for this car. Dual-clutch automatic completed with a six or a seven-speed stick is another choice. It has been Chrysler’s long-term plan. Sergio Marchionne states that there is no another way to do the planned Alfa mid-sized car with rear wheel drive system except Dodge.
Even though updates are made for this new car, the automaker doesn’t leave the SRT (Street and Racing Technology). The automaker still keeps it at five models. It is reasonable why the automaker would like to remain it. The powertrains are lightweight. And the most important thing is that they are powerful.
At glance, the automotive lovers will easily notice that this car has small body. Even, it might be smaller than the current Chrysler 300-based Challenger. On the other side, the automaker convinces them that this car is lightweight as well. The Cuda’s platform has been known as a platform for global market. It also underpins the Alfa Romeo, Maserati coupes, sedan, and Lancia.
As a 2015 model, this car will be shown up to the public late 2014. Those who are interested in this car should provide their money around $20Ks till $40Ks. With these prices, this car will compete with the Camaro and Mustang in the automotive market.
