Most of the new front-wheel-drive Dart models go on sale this summer, But the fastest of the breed, the R/T, holds off for a fall launch.
Like its less muscular brethren, the R/T rides on a Fiat chassis
borrowed from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, with a fully independent
suspension. We expect that suspension to be a little lower and stiffer
in the R/T. The car will get the most horsepower of the lot, with a
184-hp 2.4-liter four under the hood.
if the R/T will come with only a six-speed manual or with a dual-clutch
automatic as well. We do know that the R/T, like the Sonic RS, is going
to face stiff competition from slightly pricier models, including the
Ford Focus ST, the expected Fiesta ST, and the Scion FR-S and Subaru
BRZ. Even if these sporty cars are bunched around $25,000, slightly
above the Dart R/T, their performance chops could put a pinch on sales
of the Dodge
