Just read that they're going to be releasing a SRT version of the dart.

The base Dart borrows heavily from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta platform, so expect an upgraded version of the Giulietta Cloverleaf's dual-clutch, six-speed transmission to find its way into the Dart SRT4.

The all-aluminum, direct-injection, 300-hp four-cylinder engine that should arrive in the long-awaited Alfa Romeo 4C could be a perfect, though expensive, fit. A turbocharged and intercooled larger displacement version of the Dart's Tigershark 2.0-liter might be a better option.

Price? With a turbo Tigershark, figure close to Focus ST pricing; at 300 hp, it should price well north of that, but just below the AWD VW Golf R and Subaru WRX STI at just over $30,000.



Interesting. another cheap (edit maybe probably not AWD) 300+ hp turbo lightweight sedan is always welcome.

I prefer the looks of the FR-S & BRZ though. Much sexier lines.

But this is at least a huge leap in appearance from the old dodge neon SRT-4.
