New Chrysler 300 SRT Not Coming to US

Some sad news for SRT fans, the new Chrysler 300 is not going to be coming state-side.

A recently refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT is not coming to US dealerships according to Fiat-Chrysler.  They’ve been working hard to get the SRT brand integrated into Dodge and have it be associated with a new level of performance.  If you take a look at the recent slew of SRT and Dodge products, such as the Viper TA, and the Challenger and Charger Hellcats, this seems to be the idea that Dodge is aiming for.

Sadly, the 300 SRT doesn’t meet what FCA wants associated with the brand in the states.  The demand for the 300 SRT has remained low in comparison to the other vehicles.  That means this new 300 SRT will only see the light of day in Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, and New Zealand.

It makes me wonder if FCA is holding off on the 300 SRT until the 300’s new facelift comes along in the next few years.  For the time being, Dodge and SRT seem to be concentrating their efforts on getting the Hellcats out to the US public where it is in high demand.  The next major release appears to be the Jeep Hellcat.  Time will tell if the 300 SRT comes to the US.

SRT Still Tweaking the Viper TA

2014-SRT-Viper-TA-front-three-quarters-in-motion-3The team up at SRT are not fooling around with the new SRT Viper TA. First shown at the New York Auto Show, since then the engineers have been working the Viper hard around the track. They’ve put a lot of work into making sure that it can keep improving in speed times.

To explain what they’ve done to enhance the performance in the TA since it was unveiled, SRT put out a video showing it speed around the race track. Watching it makes it quite clear they are out to prove that the SRT name has a high standard of quality to meet.

Many new features have been implemented to push the Viper TA. One example is mentioned by Motor Authority as the “addition of a carbon fiber rear spoiler and a two-piece front splitter.” This allows for the Viper to have an increase of 280 pounds in downforce.

Speed demons would do well to give the video a watch. A lot of work going into a car that’s only going to have 33 models made.
