CHRYSLER CALIBER MOPAR EDITION ANNOUNCED



Chrysler South Africa might call it a ‘boy racer’ of sorts but the Dodge Caliber Mopar Edition is quite far from that. In fact, one couldn’t even call it a hot hatch at all. The label becomes even more suspect when one realises that more females buy Caliber than other sexes. One understands that Mopar is a reputable name as far as the Chrysler/ Dodge brands are concerned, specialising in OEM-approved performance parts.


The car is powered by a normal 2.0-litre engine with no quoted power figures. Nevertheless we know it makes 115kW and 190Nm under normal circumstances. And since Dodge hasn’t provided us with any figures we’ll assume these stay as they are.

Notable changes include a cold-air induction kit, a performance manifold and exhaust system, and a suspension-lowering kit that brings the car down by 5cm.

Not nearly powerful enough and those pipes are hideous to say the least!

There they go again-a once lost generation now totally lost never to be found. What a terrible thing this is, i wonder and hope it does not sell much here in SA coz it's just terrible a sight to watch
