2013 SRT® VipeR

The ReTuRn of The SnakeApril 4, 2012 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -

CONTINUED

The all-new 2013 SrT® Viper was unveiled to the world today at the New

york international Auto Show, marking its highly anticipated return to the high-performance sports car market.

The fifth generation of the iconic two-seat, American-built supercar has been deliberately evolved to incorporate superior craftsman-ship, a host of new technologies and ergo-nomic improvements while respecting its vis-ceral legacy of outright performance.

‘After a gut-wrenching period of uncertainty, the Street and Racing Technology brand team is extremely proud that our hand-built in Detroit, flagship supercar is back and ready to take on the performance car world,’ said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – Street and Racing Technology Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC. ‘Beyond being the flag-ship for the new SRT brand, the launch of

the 2013 Viper proves that we simply would not let the performance icon of the Chrysler Group die. Willed to live on by a very special group of performance enthusiasts inside the company and across Viper Nation, this SRT team under our new leadership was challenged to not just continue the legendary Viper, but to create a world-class supercar that would showcase the very best we have to offer.’

Two new modelS foR any peRfoRmance buyeRFor the 2013 model year, two new models of the iconic supercar will be hand built at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit – the home for Viper since 1995. Both SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS models offer new interior and exterior designs incorporating premium materials and new exterior surfaces with aerodynamically functional details that are beautifully integrated into the high-tech carbon fiber and aluminum skin. On the inside, designers and engineers strived to re-think all touch points; and upgrade all mate-


rial appointments and technologies.

‘The SRT Viper model is meant to offer a perfect blend of extreme performance and a deliberate preservation of what has become the iconic DNA of the Viper,’ Gilles added. ‘We strove to deliver a supercar that contin-ues to bring the driver as close as possible to the machine.’

The SRT Viper GTS builds on the DNA of the SRT Viper model with more technologi-cally advanced solutions, like two-mode active suspension, to allow this world-class GTS to find new limits on the track while also open-ing up its envelope as a more premium and mature evolution of the classic, extreme per-formance formula. Designed and built with premium features and materials inside and out, the Viper GTS will compete with the best performance vehicles in the world with a wide range of creature comforts, advanced drivetrain and interior technologies.

‘We’ve purposely evolved the iconic soul and raw performance formula that Viper has maintained over the years,’ Gilles §äid. ‘Our returning customers will see the world-class levels of pride, quality and hand craftsman-ship built into the 2013 Viper. With two price classes of the SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS, we have offerings for both the traditional core Viper customer and for the new customer who wants the same performance in a pack-age with more technology and premium crea-ture comforts.’

awe-inSpiRing V-10 poweRTRainAt the heart and soul of the 2013 SRT Viper is the venerable, hand-assembled 8.4-liter all-aluminum, V-10 overhead-valve engine.

Improvements for 2013 include a new, ultra-high flow and lightweight composite intake manifold, high-strength forged pistons, sodi-um-filled exhaust valves, new catalysts to re-duce back pressure and an aluminum flywheel that reduces reciprocating losses. More than 25 pounds has been shaved from the fully dressed engine.

ouTSTanding Ride, handling and capabiliTyStarting with a stiffer structure that provides 50 percent more torsional rigidity, the chassis of the 2013 SRT Viper benefits from numer-ous enhancements – many learned through racing efforts with Viper GTS-R and Compe-tition Coupe models.

Major updates include the addition of a new aluminum ‘X’ brace under the hood that ties the suspension pickup points to the magne-sium cowl super casting and contributes to improved torsional rigidity and stiffness. A new aluminum impact beam at the front of the car contributes to overall mass savings and improved weight distribution while providing excellent crashworthiness.

Structurally, many areas of the chassis were reworked to take advantage of new materials, reduce thickness in some areas and reshape components for more structural rigidity in others. The result is an overall weight savings

of approximately 100 pounds.

For the first time, standard safety technologies such as electronic stability control and trac-tion control help to maximize traction per-formance at virtually any speed and driving environment.

All 2013 Viper models will come with a §teer-ing-wheel-mounted launch control switch, al-lowing for optimal acceleration from standing starts.

benchmaRk bRakingStopping performance for the 2013 SRT Vi-per is engineered to provide shorter stopping distances, better modulation, improved dura-bility and balanced brake performance with-out fading under extreme conditions.

Four-piston Brembo brakes with fixed-alumi-num calipers, and vented rotors with a diam-eter of 355 mm by 32 mm, are used at all four corners. Brake calipers are forged and weight optimized by fully machining all surfaces. The calipers are among the stiffest available with distortion from heat nearly eliminated even under the most demanding braking condi-tions.

The available SRT Track Package features lightweight and slotted two-piece rotors from StopTech.

new pRemium maTeRialS, cRafTSmanShip and TechnologieSThe all-new, driver-oriented interior cabins of the SRT Viper models have been totally revamped for 2013 with superior craftsman-ship, premium material appointments and performance-oriented technologies.

For the first time, all major interior surfaces are sewn and wrapped with additional padding applied in comfort areas. On the Viper GTS model, all surfaces are fully leather skinned, and standard accent colors are applied to the seats, doors, center console and stitching.

Quality fit and finish across the lineup is showcased by triple-paint-finished Gun Metal appliqués on the cluster bezel, HVAC outlets, window switch bezels, shifter base, park brake bezel and the integrated passenger grab handle on the center console.

Standard high-performance racing seats from Sabelt feature a lightweight Kevlar/fiberglass shell created by a state-of-the-art resin transfer molding technology for mass reduction and long-term durability. Both driver and passen-ger enjoy improved comfort from thigh sup-port and deep side bolsters designed to match the extreme lateral acceleration capabilities of the SRT Viper.

Designed specifically for the 2013 SRT Vi-per, the new 7-inch, full-color, customizable instrument cluster display uses a full-time analog tachometer readout in the center to confirm the performance driving feedback philosophy of the Viper. Drivers have a wide range of custom and personal options such as an additional digital speedometer readout just below the tachometer. The vehicle informa-tion is clearly communicated with easy-to-un-derstand icons. Intuitively controlled through a simple four-way §teering-wheel control, the driver can configure the screens to display the

information they desire, easily mixing and matching information.

Uconnect® Access provides new level of connectivityThe 2013 SRT Viper lineup includes the new, next generation Uconnect® Access in-vehicle connectivity system that provides drivers with access to more information, emergency services, more entertainment and improved graphics.

Viper customers can choose between two Uconnect Media Centers, RA3 and RA4, which provide a range of new features and multiple ways to control media in the vehicle. The system includes an 8.4-inch touchscreen along with a set of hard keys for commonly used functions, including traditional knobs for tuning the radio bands and radio volume. Touchscreen buttons along the bottom of the screen allow drivers to easily access the radio, climate controls, navigation, phone, and new, select, certified applications. The new, highly sculpted steering wheel has a host of finger-tip mounted controls for au-dio, Uconnect, cruise control (first applica-tion) and launch control.

SiriusXM Travel Link also is available with Uconnect, providing premium data services and information to make every trip more efficient. SiriusXM Traffic works with the vehicle’s navigation system to display traf-fic speed and traffic flow information along with accident information to assist drivers in routing around congested areas. An ex-panded SiriusXM channel lineup includes exclusive programming, including the new SiriusXM Latino channels, an auto industry first.

refined evolUtion of srt’s hAllmArk – aggressive and functional exterior designsThe all-new, timeless exterior design blends contem-porary execution with evolutionary refinement.

All-new carbon-fiber hood, roof, decklid and

aluminum door panels are firsts for SRT Vi-per models resulting in significant weight re-duction, improved high-speed stability and a slippery .364 drag coefficient.

The forward-hinged hood carries the rede-signed Viper badge – aptly named ‘Stryker’ by the Viper Club of America – positioned in the center; and offers unobtrusive access to several service points and the SRT-engi-neered V-10 powerplant.

The classical low-stance and the extreme cab rearward proportions that have become the unmistakable silhouette of the iconic super-car, return on the 2013 SRT Viper models along with the dramatic fender ‘gills’ – an-other traditional Viper design cue that helps to extract heat from the engine compart-ment.

The 2013 Viper models feature a contempo-rary take on the traditional ‘double-bubble’ roof configuration that maximizes headroom for the driver and passenger while maintain-ing a low frontal area – allowing additional room for helmets during recreational com-petitive driving. – Source - Dodge

premium leather-faced seating and 18-inch chrome-clad wheels (late availability).

The new for 2012 Dodge Avenger R/T mod-el offers a distinctive monochromatic exterior appearance with unique 18-inch polished ‘Rallye design’ aluminum wheels, black back-ground headlamps, unique ‘Z-stripe’ seats with performance leather bolsters, unique gauge cluster with center-mounted tachome-ter, SRT-inspired accelerator and brake pads, red interior accent lighting, perforated leath-er-wrapped steering wheel and much more.

The new for 2012 Dodge Avenger R/T mod-el is the perfect sedan for the customer who wants an enthusiastic driving experience at a great value. With a stiffened suspension, best-in-class 283 horsepower engine, center-mounted tachometer and performance-in-spired interior and exterior design cues, the 2012 Dodge Avenger R/T ups the driving fun factor.

Dodge engineers tuned the Avenger’s suspen-sion specifically to the R/T model. They in-creased roll stiffness by 18 percent and spring rates by 17 percent in the front and more than 12 percent in the rear. Front strut damp-ing rates are increased 15 percent, rear strut damping rates are increased almost 20 per-cent and the rear stabilizer bar diameter is 2 mm larger, increased from 19 mm to 21 mm. The suspension changes result in a spirited, performance sedan driving experience.

Unique exterior design elements of the 2012 Dodge Avenger R/T include a unique body-color grille, black headlamp background, R/T fender stripes on the front quarter panel and unique 18-inch aluminum wheels. The perfor-mance elements carry through to the rear of

the vehicle with a spoiler and the ‘R/T’ badge.

The interior of the 2012 Dodge Avenger R/T sports distinctive Aunde fabric with Z stripe accent, red stitching and performance leather-trimmed bolsters that hold drivers and passengers firmly in their seats when they put the Avenger to the test. The front seats are heated and sport an ‘R/T’ graphic stitched in red on the front headrests. Drivers will no-tice a cockpit unlike other Avenger models. It features a unique gauge cluster with a center-mounted tachometer with the ‘R/T’ graphic and SRT-inspired brake and accelerator pedal pads. The steering wheel is wrapped in perfo-rated leather with red accent stitching. Red ambient accent lighting in the interior cabin is unique to the R/T model. A 276-watt Bos-ton Acoustic sound system compliments the standard touchscreen entertainment center with a hard drive that offers 28 GB of avail-able storage for songs and other media.

The standard mid-size sedan segment is the largest vehicle segment in the United States, with more than 1.7 million vehicles sold in 2010. The 2012 Dodge Avenger is uniquely positioned as an alternative for consumers looking for a sedan with more style, personal-ity and performance, as well as more value for their dollar. – Source: Dodge

2012 hyundai equuS

gaining ground in the luxury venue2012 HYUNDAI EQUUS CONTINUES TO REDEFINE INTELLIGENT LUXURY

H yundai’s flagship Equus successfully competes with the best sedans in the world, while adding a new level of customer experience to luxury car

ownership. Since its introduction, Equus has outpaced its sales and market share expectations. Enhancements to the 2012 model build upon this momentum. Most notably, the 2012 Equus will now feature Hyundai’s most powerful engine ever, the new direct injection 5.0-liter Tau V8 engine. The new engine produces 429 horsepower and is mated to a new in-house eight-speed transmission providing Equus drivers more power and refinement.

the powerful 5.0-liter tau v8 engineThe 2012 Equus is powered by Hyundai’s new 5.0-liter Tau DOHC V8 engine, producing 429 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 376 lb-ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm, with a higher specific output (85.8 hp/liter) than its normally-aspi-rated premium luxury competitors. Maintain-ing its industry leadership position in 2011, the Tau V8 engine family was again named to the prestigious Ward’s Ten Best Engines list for the third consecutive time.

The 5.0-liter cylinder bore was increased from 92 mm to 96 mm for a total displacement of

5.0 liters (5,038cc). In addition to the large displacement, direct injection technology has been added. This high-pressure direct injec-tion system (over 2,200 psi) dramatically in-creases power and torque while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Compression ratio has been increased from 10.4 to 11.5:1 for greater thermal efficiency and output. The Tau also receives a revised bed plate for im-proved block rigidity and lower NVH as well as camshaft carriers and a roller timing chain to improve valvetrain stability.

This new V8 engine still offers all of the pre-mium engine technology from the 4.6-liter V8, including Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT), a tuned variable induction system, and low-friction diamond-like coatings (DLC) on piston skirts, rings and tappets. Even with these impressive power in-creases, fuel economy is estimated at 15 mpg city, 23 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined.

The Tau 5.0-liter V8 engine is coupled with a new Hyundai-developed eight-speed trans-mission with SHIFTRONIC® manual shift capability. The new transmission adds two ad-ditional ratios to enhance acceleration, shifting smoothness, and transmission efficiency by more than six percent compared to last year’s six-speed.

premium rear-wheel-drive architectureEquus is the third rear-wheel-drive product in Hyundai’s lineup and boasts an excellent 52/48 front-to-rear weight distribution for ex-ceptional handling and more refined steering characteristics. Equus reduces interior noise levels and improves ride and handling with a stiff, light-weight body structure. The use of high-tensile steel in critical areas throughout the unibody provides Equus with significantly higher dynamic torsional rigidity and a lower

body structure weight, despite having a spa-cious interior cabin.

electronically-controlled air SuSpenSionDriving dynamics are a critical element in ev-ery luxury sedan, and the Equus offers first-rate ride and handling characteristics without traditional compromises. Equus’ electronically controlled air suspension tackles the wide vari-ety of road surfaces drivers face every day. For drivers who enjoy a firm ride and more stabil-ity when cornering, there is a sport setting with additional body control. For drivers who wish their ride to be a little on the softer side, the normal setting offers more ride compliance.

In urban areas, the Equus is easy to maneu-ver and park, thanks to excellent steering and its electronic parking assist feature. While the Equus is large, it doesn’t feel over-sized or clumsy due to its 39.6 foot turning circle and variable-effort steering system.

On winding country and mountain roads, the Equus benefits from the precise wheel con-trol delivered by its five-link front and rear suspension geometry. This geometry is maxi-mized through Continuous Damping Control (CDC), which continually monitors road and driving dynamics and adjusts damping force accordingly. The standard 19-inch chrome alloy wheel and tire package with staggered width tires (P245/45R19 front P275/40R19 rear) offers excellent gripping power and pre-cise control.

luxury Sedan Style with advanced technologieSThe design of the Equus is handsome and pleasing to the eye. The rear-end treatment is progressive with bold taillights, strong shoul-ders and an overall look of precision. This look is accomplished through fully-integrated asymmetrical exhaust tips and rear LED turn

Upfront is a subtle horizontal radiator grille and well-proportioned head-lamps with jeweled detailing. LED turn signals are inside the HID headlamps along with an adaptive front lighting system with white LED position lamps. The lower air intakes are bold and add to the positive reaction of the over-all design. To assist in parking and navigating blind corners and alleys in urban driving, there is an optional forward-view cornering camera integrated into the grille.

cutting edge human technologyThe busy executive as well as the couple head-ing out on the town will feel right at home in the 2012 Equus due to abundant luxury touches and passenger comfort features. This ambience begins with superior quality materi-als and design layout. The leather upholstery, Microfiber suede headliner, natural wood trim and leather-wrapped French-stitched instru-ment panel showcase the richness of the Equus interior.

The seats are fully adjustable with plenty of width and support. Thermoelectric devices lo-cated in the seat backs and bottom cushions provide control for heating, cooling and hu-

midity. There is ample leg and head room for drivers over six-feet tall and a massaging driver seat. In fact, Equus has more leg, head and shoulder room in the front and rear seats than the Lexus LS460.

The driver’s cockpit boasts an abundance of features and premium services. The Driver In-formation System (DIS) provides navigation, XM Satellite Radio, HD Radio technology, hands-free Bluetooth phone system and much more.

innovative ownerShip experienceHyundai will continue to offer its unique ownership experience for Equus customers, including tailored dealership showrooms, ‘Your Time, Your Place’ at-home vehicle dem-onstrations, valet service appointments and an interactive owner’s manual for Apple iPad and Android tablet devices.

The sales and service experience for Equus is unlike any other in the industry, with a focus on the customer’s time and convenience. Pro-spective buyers can participate in the ‘Your Time, Your Place’ valet test drive program, where a specially trained Product Champion will deliver an Equus to their home or office for a personalized shopping experience.

Equus features the industry’s first interactive owner’s manual, providing a convenient and simpler way for owners to become familiar with the full capabilities of the vehicle.

When service is required, Equus owners can schedule their maintenance and service through a simple online scheduling system or from the interactive owner’s manual. An Equus owner can also choose to have their vehicle picked up at their home or business, with a complimen-tary loaner dropped off. Once service is com-pleted, the owner again chooses the time and location for the vehicle to be delivered.

September 1, 2011 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -

B uilding on the success of the all-new Charger introduced in 2011,

the 2012 Dodge Charger is now the first domestic sport sedan to feature an eight-speed automatic transmission – delivering a best-in-class 31 miles per gallon (mpg) highway

This state-of-the-art ZF eight-speed automat-ic transmission will be available on rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger models equipped with the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, delivering 292 horse-power along with improved performance and class-leading fuel efficiency with respect to:

• Best-in-class highway fuel economy (31 mpg highway)

• Best-in-class V-6 AWD fuel economy (18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway)

• Best-in-class combined fuel economy (23 mpg with RWD, 21 mpg with AWD)

• Unsurpassed city fuel economy (19 mpg city RWD, 18 mpg AWD)

• Overall unsurpassed fuel economy in its class (19 mpg city and 31 mpg highway with RWD)

Dodge Charger with the all-new eight-speed automatic now delivers best-in-class mid-

size V-6 fuel efficiency, but does so with the roominess of a full-size, and the style only Charger can deliver.

For 2012, the Dodge Charger lineup has been simplified to include SE, SXT and R/T mod-els, as well as the high-performance SRT8. These models also offer technology, perfor-mance and value-packed feature packages to help customers equip their Dodge Charger to their exact vehicle needs.

‘The new eight-speed transmission takes the Dodge Charger, which was already at the head of its class, and puts it in a league of its own, with the ultimate combination of 292

horsepower and best-in-class 31 mpg,’ said Reid Bigland, President and CEO, Dodge Brand — Chrysler Group LLC. ‘Our Charger customers don’t have to compromise as

they can get the fuel efficiency of a mid-size car in a full-size sedan with distinctive styling only available from Dodge.’


efficiency of the 2012 Dodge Charger SE (optional), Charger SXT and Charger SXT Plus. Combined with the award-winning 292 horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, the results are quicker acceleration, seamless shifts and improved fuel efficiency.

For an even more engaging driving experi-ence, the 2012 Dodge Charger now intro-duces new paddle shifters with ‘Sport’ shift mode, standard on the Dodge Charger SXT and SXT Plus equipped with the Rallye Ap-pearance Group or Blacktop package. With ‘Sport’ mode, gear changes are quicker and revs are held higher for even more perfor-mance-oriented acceleration and higher shift dynamics. For even more control, the driver can also use the all-new die-cast steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters and view gear election through an all-new full-color EVIC centered in the Dodge Charger’s instrument cluster.

Delivering up to a 17 percent fuel economy improvement compared with the previ-ous generation six-cylinder Dodge Charger AWD, the new 2012 Dodge Charger SXT and SXT Plus AWD combine the new eight-speed automatic transmission, fuel-efficient 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine and the seg-ment’s most advanced AWD system for max-imum all-weather traction and efficiency.

Dodge Charger’s AWD system features a seg-ment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle-disconnect system to improve real-world fuel economy. No other major automotive manufacturer offers the combination of these two independent technologies. Dodge Char-ger’s innovative AWD system seamlessly tran-sitions between rear-wheel drive and AWD

with no driver intervention. When all-wheel drive is not required, the system automatical-ly disconnects the front axle to maximize fuel economy while still providing the outstand-ing fun-to-drive performance and handling inherent in rear-wheel-drive vehicles.

ram drive 3 ii: | At the 2012 ACM Experience

ram truckS living the country lifePosted by Mark Williams | April 9, 2012 | www.pickuptrucks.com

Imagine tasting dozens of different styles of barbecue while listening

to various live country artists, then getting a chance to drive in a new Ram 1500 over 12-foot long I-beams, across staggered barrels and then up a 25-foot steel mountain hillclimb. And then you go get tossed off a mechanical bull, right before you head into huge convention center full of country western clothing, jewelry, furniture, and other sale items. Hard to believe you can do all that in one day?

It wouldn’t be difficult to imagine if you were in Las Vegas enjoying The ACM Experience.

For the past few years, the Academy of Coun-try Music has been trying to put together a lifestyle-oriented family fair to honor some of country music’s biggest stars with a big award show, as well as provide many of country mu-sic’s customers a chance to listen to their favor-ite artists. And where there are country mu-sic fans, there will be people who love pickup trucks.

That’s why Ram Truck decided to step in and be the title automotive sponsor for the ACM

Experience. “Ram truck fans and country mu-sic fans are very similar — they have a lot in common,” said Ram President and CEO Fred Diaz. He was on hand all weekend greeting people at the Ram Ride and Drive, where anyone could jump in a new truck and loop around a short track. Although Diaz couldn’t talk about how much money Ram paid for the exclusive automotive sponsorship, Ram did have vehicles placed all around Las Vegas, as well as acting as the chauffeur vehicle for the biggest country stars attending the ACM awards show. Our favorite new celebrity on hand was the Case IH farm equipment set out on the Ram ride and drive area. Maybe next time we’ll get to drive one of those.

If the course for the Ram Ride and Drive looks familiar, it should. This was basically the same obstacle course at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, where Chrysler had drive-along oppor-tunities for its Jeep, Fiat and Ram brands. This course was a little more compact, but it seemed to be popular with many of the attendees.

This was the first year that event organizers have tried the full ACM Experience, which is a free, country-music lifestyle event that’s open to the public and where truck enthusiasts can come

and shop, eat and listen to popular country-music artists in outdoor and indoor settings, as well as a few more formal venues.

The event seemed to be popular enough to jus-tify doing again next year, but from what the Ram folks are saying about the interest they got from test drivers, it looks like they’ll be on board to do it again no matter where the ACM people decide to have the next event.

Ram seems to be looking to tighten the bond between customers and country music. Can a Living Country Ram option package be far away?

T he Ddge continues to lead the segment it created. New for 2012, The Grand Caravan is offered in a new American Value Package, which makes the best-selling minivan ever

the most affordable minivan with a starting MSRP of $20,995 (all prices exclude destination).

automotive news

At the heart of the 2012 Dodge Grand Cara-van is the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transaxle. This engine was named a ‘10 Best Engines’ by Ward’s Auto-motive. In the Grand Caravan, the Pentastar V-6 delivers a best-in-class 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque.

Dodge Grand Caravan also features a driver-selectable fuel economizer mode. Drivers can change the transaxle shift schedule with the flip of a switch to maximize their fuel economy. In addition, lower-rolling resis-

tance tires, a spoiler and reduced mechanical drag all contribute to Dodge Grand Cara-van’s class-leading aerodynamics and excel-lent fuel economy. Even with the potent V-6 powertrain, Grand Caravan still manages to deliver an impressive fuel economy rating of 25 miles per gallon (mpg) on the highway.

R/T is where versatility meets performance and attitude. Uniquely designed both inside and out, the Dodge Grand Caravan R/T fea-tures a suspension tuned for sporty handling, while still providing a comfortable ride. The

‘More than 27 years ago, Dodge created a revolution by launching the first minivan, and through continued innovations like our industry-exclusive Super Stow ‘n Go Seating, we’ve remained the leader ever since,’ said Reid Bigland, President and CEO, Dodge Brand — Chrysler Group LLC. ‘Now for 2012, we are introducing our next revolution – the new American Value Package, which offers seven passenger seating, seven standard airbags and best-in-class storage for less than the price of a typical mid-size car at only $20,995.’

form gladly followS functionGrand Caravan’s design is intended to convey the dynamic driving nature of the vehicle. A front fascia that sports the Dodge signature ‘split crosshair’ grille and quad headlamps combine to give the face of the 2012 Grand Caravan an aggressive feel. A sculpted rear fas-cia and liftgate and rear ‘ring of fire’ LED tail-lamps completes the look from front to back.

The latest innovation from the minivan lead-er is the Stow ‘n Place™ roof rack system that lets owners stow the roof bows in the side rails when they’re not using them and snap them easily into place when needed. The ability to stow the roof bows when they’re not being used means less aerodynamic drag and wind buffeting and better overall efficiency.

premium interior deSignOwners will step inside to a world-class inte-rior. A modern, one-piece instrument panel is intuitive for the customer with instinctive ergonomics and large gauges, with premium bright accents and soft-touches throughout. An available ‘super’ center console provides

clever functionality and storage for the active commuter, as well as easy driver/passenger access with a pass-through storage space for larger items, like a purse.

A three-spoke steering wheel with integrated controls for audio, navigation and speed con-trol also offers a minivan-first heated steering wheel option. The best storage in the seg-ment rounds out the improved interior.

And with pricing now start-ing at an affordable $20,995 MSRP, it’s also the most affordable.

Although work on the Kia GT concept first started in November 2010, the idea of a power-ful rear-wheel drive Kia saloon had been perco-lating in the minds of Kia’s European designers for some time. ‘This concept allows us to ex-plore exciting new design directions, as using a rear-drive layout creates very different propor-tions compared to a front-wheel drive car,’ says Peter Schreyer, Kia’s Chief Design Officer. ‘The classic front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout of a performance saloon has distinct appeal not just for the domestic Korean audience, but also for the European and American markets.’

‘At the onset of this project,’ adds Gregory Guillaume, Kia’s European Design Chief, ‘the design team was inspired by the spirit of iconic

1970s GT cars: sumptuous and elegant vehi-cles capable of whisking passengers from Paris to the South of France in effortless style and at high speed. We wanted to create something similarly graceful, athletic and confident, but not aggressive or overbearing.’

This focus of dynamism and pace is sharpened by the car’s aeronautical theme, headlined by the multi-piece propeller-style alloy and carbon-fibre wheels, the jet-themed rear-view cameras, the low-slung front air intake, the aerodynamically efficient rear diffuser and the winglets that curve in from the front flanks and flow into the headlamps.

company’s distinctive new design direction. This four-door sports sedan with a rear-wheel drive layout – a Kia first – marries sleek and muscular proportions with a sophisticated and elegant four-seater cockpit.

This particular design motif draws inspiration from the seminal Kia Kee concept car, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007. Indeed, Kia GT has a strong design lineage, with a number of central design elements that link it to last year’s Pop concept and the Kee, ensuring a high degree of visual continuity despite their divergent styles and themes.

One of Schreyer and Guillaume’s key goals was to ensure that the car’s proportions couldn’t be mistaken for anything other than a rear-wheel drive performance saloon. Hence the extend-ed bonnet with the front wheels pushed right to the very front of the car, the cab-rearward stance, powerful rear shoulders and truncated rear end.

The Kia GT’s silhouette accelerates away from the A-pillar towards the rear of the car, and this impression of athleticism is enhanced by the copper signature line that runs from the base of the A-pillar and along the roofline to end ahead of the base of the rear windscreen. And in a neat touch, the tick-shaped motif recalls the front quarter-light windows of the rakish GT cars that inspired the Kia design team.

The inspiration for the use of copper came after a visit by Kia’s colour and trim team to

the DMY International Design Festival Berlin – Germany’s key event for contemporary and conceptual design – where this warm tactile metal was one of the stand-out materials of the show. The material’s warmth is balanced by the coolness of the Kia GT’s pale grey paintwork, with its mica flakes, that subtly captures nu-ances of light.

There’s a tangible sense of strength and coher-ence to the Kia GT’s flowing lines – from every angle it brims with intent and purpose, a vital element of Schreyer’s approach to design. This impression of solidity is further reinforced by the way the roofline extends past the C-pillar to meet the rear screen, hunkering the car clos-er to the ground.

This powerful confidence is balanced by eye-catching details. The brake calipers are finished in copper, creating a neat visual link with the car’s signature line. The contours of the castel-lated top of the windscreen flow into the roof, itself subtly bubbled to create further headroom for driver and front passenger. And the bonnet features a discreet power bulge and air intake, hinting at the car’s performance potential.

Both Schreyer and Guillaume are particularly passionate about the Kia GT’s lights. The alloy-framed central grille is flanked by complex head-lamp units that each house a bank of six deeply recessed LED illuminators, to create a highly distinctive nocturnal signature. The advanced construction of the headlamps is mirrored by the single sweeping wing-shaped tail light that flows around the car’s flanks and incorporates two sets of three upright stanchions.

The front doors and rear-hinged rear doors open outward at a slight upward angle, imbu-ing the car with what Schreyer describes as an air of grace and confidence. Despite its low stance, fast roofline and shallow glasshouse, the

Kia GT’s clean and uncluttered cabin archi-tecture has created a spacious and airy interior with generous accommodation for the driver and three passengers.

The single-piece seats float on arched supports, further accentuating the cabin’s spacious di-mensions. The Kia design team deliberately chose to emphasise the proportions of the transmission tunnel to reinforce the power and performance of the saloon, but then bal-anced this muscularity by moving away from a button-laden centre console and creating a strongly driver-centric layout.

The glass instrument panel – similar to that first seen on last year’s Pop concept car – fea-tures three layers of organic LEDs. These not only give it a three-dimensional depth but also allow a wealth of information to be displayed at the driver’s command, freeing up the centre console from the usual proliferation of con-trols, buttons and displays. Fingertip controls mounted on the small, dished, three-spoke steering wheel allow the driver to select the de-sired data display.

This sophisticated instrument panel floats above the centre console, further enhancing the cabin’s sense of space. The large red starter button and twist-and-go transmission selector are combined in a single compact unit, fur-ther freeing up space on the central transmis-

sion tunnel. Playback from the cigar-shaped rear-view cameras is displayed on a pair of compact and thin LED screens mounted on the doors – perfectly positioned in the driver’s line of sight.

The warm shades of copper used along the glasshouse create a visual link with the buffed surface of the metallic-treated leather used throughout the cabin, and this russet cabin hue is enriched by the tint of the glasshouse.

The idea behind this leather surface treatment is simple – the areas with which the driver and passengers come into regular contact become buffed and smooth, creating a warm and wel-coming patina to the cabin.

Schreyer believes this concept is less about de-sign specifics and more about a general feeling of stance, proportion and balance – elements that will influence and guide his design team’s approach to their next project.

‘One of the great things about working on this project was that this is a very real car,’ says Schreyer. ‘It felt good to be working on a car that could roll down the road tomorrow. Yes, it would be a dream to put this into production – it has a logical layout, with four seats, and good luggage space, and it’s also engaging and dynamic and makes a strong statement. It’s ex-actly the kind of car Kia should be making.’
