Dodge at the 30th São Paulo International Motor Show

With 104 years of baggage, Dodge presents itself with a current model that has already become a classic: the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, which is even more powerful. The 6.2-liter HEMI® Hellcat V8 engine with compressor has gained 10 hp and is now capable of delivering 727 hp. In addition, the monstrous torque rose from 89.8 to 90.7 kgfm.

Figures worthy of a power plant capable of making the muscle car accelerate a quarter of a mile (0 to 402 meters), the traditional distance of a dragstrip, in just 11.2 seconds, reaching 201 km/h. The maximum speed is 320 km/h.

Another vehicle of the brand at the Sao Paulo Expo is the Dodge Durango, exhibited in the GT version. With seven seats and all-wheel drive, the model manufactured in Detroit (US) is being evaluated to be officially offered again in the country, such as between 2013 and 2016.

The propeller is the same as that of the Dodge Journey sold here in Brazil, the efficient and versatile 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 292 hp (8 hp more than in its "younger brother"). It pairs with the 8-speed automatic transmission with a T-lever, more sporty grip and with the option of sequential commands.

Novelty for the Journey

Imported from Mexico in the well-equipped R/T version, the Dodge Journey amasses more than 17,000 units sold in the country and has just won the Blacktop visual package, which reinforces the inherent sportiness of the brand.

With it, all the external parts that are usually chrome-plated or silver-plated now have black shiny finish (black piano). They are: the wheels (19 inches), the contours of the grille, the air intake frame on the front bumper, the roof bars and even the rearview mirror covers – as a rule, they are painted in the color of the body.

The novelty adds R$ 2,000 to the suggested price of the Dodge Journey R/T, of R$ 149,990. A value that brings out the great cost-benefit of the crossover, when one considers all that it offers. Like the practicality of the cabin for up to seven people, the car's drivability, performance of the V6 engine and the long list of equipment, which includes a 9-inch LCD screen for the second row and premium sound of 368 watts of power and subwoofer .
