Do you know that this year one of the most iconic American muscle car automakers marks its 100th anniversary? The brand is Dodge and it is tearing into its centennial year as America’s mainstream performance brand. The exact day of celebration was yesterday, on 1st of July. In fact, after the brand has consolidated with SRT, Dodge is getting back to its performance roots with every single model it offers.
Both Dodge and SRT are aiming to offer a complete lineup of performance vehicles, which are to stand out in their own segments. Dodge is considered as the “mainstream performance” brand, while the SRT – as the “ultimate performance” halo of the Dodge brand. The combination results in complete and balanced performance.
