Mopar to take new Chrysler 200 Super S and Dodge Charger Redline at the NAIAS

By Adrian

The undisputed star of Dodge’s stand at this year North America International Auto Show is definitely going to be the Dart, the new C-segment car developed on the same platform that generated Alfa Romeo Giulietta, but even though the carmaker would like to maintain the focus on the brand new hatchback, the Dart is not going to be the only new car at the event in Detroit.

For this reason, Mopar (the automobile parts and service arm of Chrysler Group LLC) will also be in Michigan to present a pair of new models: the Chrysler 200 Super S and Dodge Charger Redline. The former is a spiced-up version of the - frankly - not too exciting Chrysler 200 that will come with the Super S package. The most distinctive features of the model in comparison to its ‘basic’ counterpart are a specifically developed aerodynamic package (composed of lip spoiler, side skirts, trunk lid spoiler and diffuser), satin chrome accents (for the front grill, fog lights trim, badges and rear light bar) and 18″ “S” alloys. If you would like the performance of the car to mirror its new found aggressive look, there is also a ‘Stage Two’ kit available, consisting of a coil-over suspension, a cold air intake and a new exhaust system.

The Dodge Charger Redline make use of three different Mopar tuning kits which will be made available in 2012. The first one includes an add-on chin spoiler, door scoops and a rear spoiler (all of which made of carbon fibre), 20″ ‘Black Envy’ wheels and a matt black roof. The second kit comprises a cat-back performance exhaust, a front-tower cross-brace and tower brace caps and high-performance Mopar brake linings. Finally, stage three gives us the power boost we were waiting for in the form of a high-output version of the 426 Hemi V8 crate engine that weighs about 45 kg less and adds 220 hp to the power of the standard V8 Charger, for a total output of 590 hp. Too bad that this third step has been designed for racing use only, meaning it is not street-legal. To find out more about these two models, see the official Press Release after the jump.
