There are many benefits tied to the fact that FIAT brand and the Chrysler Group have been paired together. One particular is platform and technology sharing. In the new Dodge lineup, this is particularly true for the Dart, which uses the compact US wide (CUSW) platform found on sibling brand, Alfa Romeo. Future insights shed new light on further ideas which could have an astounding effect on the driving experience offered by Dodge cars.
That experience is of course, rear-wheel drive. The design team at FIAT and Chrysler are combining their engineering intuition to make this platform a reality for drivers here in the Cheshire area and beyond. It currently sits in the research phase but it is possible this technology could roll out as early as 2015.
Can you imagine a model like the Challenger in rear-wheel drive? With the engine running length-wise in direction, it can create a favorable driving dynamic, and balance to the vehicle's structure giving it even more power and performance.
It is definitely a story we will continue to follow and keep you informed of future updates here on the Bedard Bros. Chrysler Jeep Dodge blog.
