SRT

SRT, Chrysler's performance division founded in 2004, has embodied the American manufacturer's sporty, muscular DNA since its inception. This iconic brand, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, was built around a radical philosophy: transforming Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles into high-performance road machines designed for driving purists. The SRT story begins with the ambition to deliver exceptional SRT models, starting with the legendary Dodge Viper and the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, before expanding to the Challenger, the Charger, and the Durango. Positioned squarely against rival performance divisions such as Mercedes' AMG and BMW's M, SRT stands out for its unapologetically American approach: massive naturally aspirated engines, formidable raw power (up to 645 horsepower on the Hellcat V8), and a competitive performance-to-price ratio. The SRT lineup spans several segments, from muscle sedans to high-performance SUVs and sporty coupes, each boasting an impressive SRT spec sheet with 0-to-100 km/h times under 4 seconds for the most powerful models. Although SRT has undergone changes following strategic shifts within its parent group Stellantis, its vehicles remain undisputed benchmarks in the mainstream performance segment, standing as proof of a decade and a half of engine expertise and innovation dedicated to raw performance and a thrilling driving experience.
