For the fourth year now Chrysler has released it's customized collectible car under the Mopar label. Celebrating it's 75th anniversary last year, Mopar is the Chrysler Group's badge for their parts, service and customer care division. Just as in the previous three years, they pull a car from Chrysler's current lineup, tweak it with all of the latest technological and performance developments and create a limited edition showcase. Previously working their magic on the Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and the Chrysler 300, all V-8 rear wheel drives; this year Mopar turned it's attention to the Dodge Dart, one of the newer members of the Chrysler Group's lineup.

No sooner has the 2013 Dodge Dart arrived at dealerships than Chrysler is adding another version to its range: the Dodge Dart Aero. Announced last week, the Aero features Chrysler's 1.4-litre, 4-cylinder MultiAir turbo engine. Developed by Fiat, this engine offers 184 lb-ft of torque and features fuel economy of just 4.8 L/100 km. Note also that the Dodge Dart received the "Top Safety Pick" for 2012 from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The Canadian manufacturers' suggested retail price of this Aero version is $19,795. Other features included as standard in this version are lightweight aluminum chassis components, active grille shutters, underbody aero kit, a lowered profile and low-rolling resistance tires.

The Dodge Challenger outsold both the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro in 2022, which is remarkable, but especially so considering the model hasn’t really received any updates to speak of for the past 15 years.

Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis has confirmed that new models will be introduced in 2023. This will help fill the gap left by the Charger and Challenger at the end of next year.
