Street and Racing Technology (SRT) Powers the Chrysler Group in Geneva

European Debut for Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8, and All-new Dodge Caliber SRT4 and Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring

Formed in 2002, the Chrysler Group's Street Racing Technology (SRT) division has become one of the auto industry's leading in-house performance operations. It creates some of the Chrysler Group's boldest, most distinctive products by single-mindedly following its core vision: deliver benchmark performance at the lowest price — and deliver it with absolute integrity and credibility. In addition to boosting performance, SRT was created to boost the image of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep® vehicles.

Each SRT vehicle displayed by the Chrysler Group at the Geneva Motor Show showcases five key attributes: exterior styling that resonates with the brand image; race-inspired interiors; class-leading ride and handling characteristics across a broad dynamic range; benchmark braking; and standout powertrain.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8
All-new for 2006, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 — the ultimate performance SUV — is the quickest, most powerful Jeep vehicle ever made. It is powered by the 6.1-litre HEMI® V-8 producing 322 kW (432 hp) and 569 N•m (420 lb. ft.) of torque — making it quicker than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5 — with performance figures of 0-100 km in the low 5-second range, 0-160-0 km in the low 19-second range, and 100-0 km braking in approximately 38.1 m (125 ft.).

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is the first Jeep SRT vehicle, offering on-road and all-weather ability and performance with a specially developed reinforced four-wheel drive system offering highly capable performance. It will be available in Europe and other international markets in the first half of 2006.

Dodge Caliber SRT4
All-new for 2007, the five-door Dodge Caliber SRT4 brings excitement to the "hot hatch" market, with its aggressive bonnet scoop, enhanced body styling and dramatic 19-inch alloy wheels.

Caliber SRT4 will be the most powerful Caliber model, with a turbo-charged version of the 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol "World Engine." This DOHC 16-valve power unit produces 223 kW (300 hp) and 352 N•m (260 lb. ft.) of torque. Performance figures include 0-100 km acceleration in approximately 6 seconds, the engine driving the front wheels via a special 6-speed Getrag manual gearbox with limited-slip differential. The vehicle will be available in markets outside North America in early 2007.

Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring
Introduced in 2005, the Chrysler 300C SRT8 sedan and the all-new SRT8 Touring of 2006, are the natural evolution of the Chrysler brand, the SRT brand, and the HEMI®.

The heart of both 300C SRT8 vehicles is the larger capacity engine, which takes the HEMI® to the next level with 25 percent more power than the 5.7-litre version. The 317 kW (425 hp) normally aspirated 6.1-litre HEMI® has a 69.8 hp-per-litre rating that exceeds even that of the legendary 1966 "Street HEMI®." Torque is rated at a massive 569 N•m (420 lb. ft.).

The 300C SRT Touring arrives in Europe and other international markets in the second half of 2006.

Dodge Viper SRT10
Redesigned from the ground up in 2003 and now in its third generation, the Dodge Viper SRT10 continues to be the ultimate American sports car.

The V-10, 8.3-litre engine generates 372 kW (500 hp) and 712 N•m (525 lb. ft.) of torque — and boasting estimated performance figures of 0-100 km acceleration in approximately 4 seconds and 0-160-0 km in the low 12-second range.

All-new for 2006, the Dodge Viper Competition Coupe Coupe "tops off" the Viper lineup, and features not only a hardtop canopy, but also all-new, unique and dramatic rear-end styling, clearly differentiating it from the convertible.

Developed under the credo, "Race inspired, street legal," other Chrysler Group vehicles comprising the SRT family include Dodge Ram SRT10, Chrysler Crossfire SRT6, Dodge Magnum SRT8 and Dodge Charger SRT8.
