2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 Final Edition

Dodge has announced a specially styled, limited-edition Viper model, which carries the name 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 Final Edition.

The new 2010 Viper SRT10 Final Edition differs from its series counterpart by a sleek, Graphite finished exterior with painted black center stripe traced in red and unique side sill badges. The Coupe and ACR Final Edition models pack also a black windshield surround.

Inside, the limited ride renders black upholstery contrasted by custom red accent stitching, red painted halo surrounds on the gauge cluster and bright stainless steel screws in center stack bezel. A numbered dash plaque (1-50) is located on the shifter bezel just above the unique Viper Final Edition floor mats.

Under the 2-door American sports car’s bonnet, the specialists at Dodge have placed the well-known 8.4-liter V10 powerplant with 600 horsepower (450 kW) and 760 Nm of torque. Fitted with that engine, the Viper can accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds before reaching a V-max of 202 mph.

The manufacturing process of the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 Final Edition is scheduled to start in the early summer of 2010.

2010 Dodge Charger

2010 Dodge Charger - Front End

Have you been looking for spy photos of the upcoming 2010 Dodge Charger? I found a couple of artist renders and they look terrific. They looked so good that I kept hunting for new information about the ’10. It looks like Dodge wants to go back to a 2-door “Coke-bottle” side view with integrated front headlights, but separate rear tail lights. Word on the net is that they want to equip the new model with different types of engines, the usual suspects apply; 3.0 Phoenix V6 for export, 3.6 Phoenix V6 280hp, 5.7 Hemi MDS 340hp and the 6.4 Hemi SRT 440hp. The 2010 Charger should be less boxy to help reduce road noise and improve gas mileage. The all-around performance should improve as well, with more horsepower expected from the revised V6 and Hemi engines.

The new Charger will probably run with an 8-speed automatic transmission, although the current five-speed should still be available. The next generation interior with new comfort features like an entertainment system and better driver amenities, it appears that the 2010 Charger will really make a statement!

2010 Dodge Nitro Video

Aimed at a select type of car buyer, the 2010 Dodge Nitro is a bit of a throwback, according to Cars.com editor Bill Jackson. The Nitro is a truck-based SUV with great towing capacity, but what you gain in hauling capabilities you’ll pay for in ride quality and gas mileage. Check out this video to find out if you’re one of the car buyers who should take a look at the Nitro.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating sticking gas pedals on about 10,000 Dodge Caliber compact cars.

In a small number of cases, parts of the gas pedal assembly have apparently fallen off, causing the pedals to come out of alignment and become stuck. The pedals involved in the cases are made by CTS Corp. the same supplier that made gas pedals involved in a massive Toyota recall for sticking gas pedals.
