Opting for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT with its 6.4-liter HEMI engine gives drivers 470hp and rugged capabilities in all terrains. For one aftermarket tuner, this was just the beginning. Turning the Grand Cherokee SRT into a speed-machine, GeigerCars went to the limit of credulity, dropping a 2.9-liter supercharger into the HEMI and ratcheting up the horsepower to 708. The modifications needed to obtain this feat of engineering required new pistons, a dialed-up ECU, and speed-rated tires. The drivetrain of the modified Grand Cherokee SRT is now capable of launching the SUV to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of around 183 mph. To handle in […]

Exclusive SRT Tomahawk Design Coming to Gran Turismo 6
The designers at Fiat Chrysler (FCA) were given a chance to go wild on a performance-centric design in the “Gran Turismo 6” video game. The official design from the SRT performance team is called the “SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo” and was in reply to an invitation from the video game franchise to automakers to design their own concepts. The SRT Tomahawk design is an ultra-aggressive hybrid supercar that rides low to the ground on huge wide-set tires. In a teaser video released by the FCA design team, the single-seat SRT Tomahawk is shown to feature angular flared fenders, exposed carbon-fiber body panels, and a familiar Dodge Viper-style hood […]
‘Mopar Road Ready’ Teen Safety Event Sells Out
The ‘Mopar Road Ready’ program recently finished its third stop on its 2015 tour at the Mopar World Headquarters in Center Line, Michigan, where more than 190 teen drivers learned invaluable on-road lessons in driving safety.

“Furious 7,” the latest film in the Fast and Furious movie franchise, continues to delight fans and surprises critics with its mixture of incredible action spectacle and real emotional depth during its current run at the box office. It’s not just moviegoers who are enjoying the franchise’s continued success, though; the Dodge brand is itself pretty happy to see these movies about high-flying (literally) cars keep running their way to number one at the box office. You see, there’s an awful lot of cool Dodge car action included in “Furious 7.” The fact that the cars are being driven by stars like Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, […]

Dodge Challenger Shaker Comes with More Powertrain Options for 45th Anniversary Edition
Few cars can make the immediate and impressive statement that the Dodge Challenger Shaker can make. You might not even be able to see it yet, but you’ll hear its massive engines literally shaking the whole car and everything in the vicinity. The Challenger achieves this haughty attitude thanks to a cold-air induction hood scoop, which feeds air to the engine and creates the shaking effect. The Challenger Shaker has now been around for no less than 45 years, and Dodge is honoring that longevity with some special 45th Anniversary Editions of the vehicle. As a muscle car, of course, the best thing to do is simply add more power […]
Big Bucks Spent at Dodge Hellcat Auctions for Elusive Vehicle
The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been an enormous success for the automaker, selling at a record pace to the point that Dodge literally started to run out of models. Dodge even ceased new orders of the Hellcat, so it would have some to catch up on the astonishing number of purchases. Of course, this action immediately made the Hellcat that much hotter. In response, some owners of the 2015 Hellcat are now auctioning off their vehicles, to those high-spending consumers who desperately want one but didn’t make the deal with Dodge in time. The roughly $60,000-vehicle is already being sold for prices closer to $100,000 and even higher […]
Fast And Furious Lineup to Feature Dodge Vehicles
We already know that Fast And Furious 7 will be special—or perhaps more bittersweet, in a way. It will be the last movie in the series to feature the late Paul Walker, who died tragically in a car accident in 2013. The actor had been a main character in the films since their inception. Fans will be relieved then to hear that other staples of the series haven’t changed for the seventh installment. We’ve learned that Dominic Toretto will continue to race his favorite ride. That’s the actor Vin Diesel’s recurring character—and Toretto likes to drive Dodge vehicles. Up until now, Fast And Furious liked to feature classic Dodge cars. […]
