Rumors can be a tenacious thing, even more when the rumor is something car enthusiast want to happen. Take the Hellcat Hemi rumor. There was previous speculation as to what SRT would be doing for their next generation Dodge Challenger. The belief is that it will have the new Hellcat Hemi and thus would be the SRT Dodge Challenger Hellcat. While nothing offical has been said either way, recent developments have brought the Hellcat rumor talk back.

Torque News thinks that Chrysler and SRT may have a surprise up their sleeve for the upcoming 2014 Spring Festival of LXs in California. The festival is a place where drivers of a Charger, 300, Dodge Magnum, or the Challenger get together and meet. Chrysler has not specifically said there will not be a major announcement made.

No news is, well, no news in this case. However, that level of silence for a major event could mean something. This is the right crowd for the SRT team to stand-up in front of to marvel at their latest creation. There would be no better place to get the momentum started for a new generation of Challenger.

As with all rumors, though, take this one with a grain of salt, something Torque News is quick to point out. This very rumor was happening around the time of the 2014 North American International Auto Show and, obviously, it was not true. Still, you never know.
Will we see the new SRT Dodge Challenger Hellcat? Only patience will tell.

CHRYSLER GROUP LLC SATIN VAPOR SRT

The Chrysler 200 may have stole the talk of the Detroit Auto Show, but that doesn’t mean that other brands didn’t bring along something to really talk about. Take SRT for example, they’ve been doing well with making sure the word is out on the quality of their new SRT Viper. SRT is spreading the love around and drawing attention to the other vehicles in their line-up with a new announcement at the auto show.

SRT is producing the Satin Vapor Edition models for the Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger. The new models will be concentrating on delivering high quality luxury while maintaining the high quality performance associated with SRT products.

“We’re responding to the diversifying tastes of our performance enthusiast customers by expanding our product lineup to offer more custom models straight from the factory,” said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – SRT Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC. “Building on our core vehicle strategy, the Satin Vapor Edition models add some swagger with new, brand exclusive finishes and content that augment the value proposition of our popular ‘Core’ price classes.”

The three satin models will be offering plenty of choices in features and colors.  In the coming weeks, we’ll be breaking down each individual model for what the Satin models will have and be offering.

SRT Adds New Colors and Rain Mode to the SRT Viper

The 2014 SRT Viper has been adding a lot of upgrades already.  This one, as far as major changes go, is quite minor in the long run and is meant more to appeal to aesthetic demand than to power.

The Viper is getting a series of additional color choices for aspiring racer to get.  The first of three is the Billet Silver which is based on the popular look for the SRT Viper GTS-R racer.  Next up is the GTS-R Blue, my personal favorite, and it matches the color that is on the roof of the Viper GTS-R.  Finishing off the list of new colors is the Anodized Carbon Special Edition.  That’s just a very long and special way of saying matte black.

Color isn’t the only thing being added to the SRT Viper, however.  A new traction control feature is being included in future models as well.  This new mode is being called “Rain Mode” and is designed for the the purpose of its namesake, having better control in the rain.  It is to help drivers handle the supercar under slippery road conditions in an effort to help protect drivers who fulfilled a fantasy of driving a Viper.

With this extra addition, it’s clear that SRT is making sure that the Viper is just as notorious for safety as it is for speed and look.

For more information on the SRT Viper, contact a sales rep at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  We have a wide assortment of new and used cars, from the popular 2013 Chrysler 300 to the 2013 Jeep Wrangler.  We will work with you to find the right auto financing to get you in the car best suited for your lifestyle.  Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more dealership updates!
