Today in the automotive world, Killer Chrysler and Mini Vans

Mini Vans and Chryslers, i know what your thinking! They made an SRT-6 Grand Caravan!
They Didn't.

I meant Mini Panel van, sorry.

Let's start with the killer Chryslers.
Chrysler 200 Super S


God, just look at this thing. Then look at the Camry, Then look at the 200. SEE WHAT I MEAN?!

This is the new Chrysler 200 Super S, bad name great looks. This ladys and gentlemen is what you get when you give Mopar some money and a Chrysler 200. All the Mopar stuff and high-quality materials enhances the performance and visuals of the 200 Super S.

So what did they change except the body kit and grill and the rims? Well im going to get technical about it. Mopar added a Large Chin spoiler, satin chrome fog light trim, grill surround and mesh in the upper AND lower grills. New side sills satin chrome belt moldings, black chrome "200" and finally gray or hyper black 18-inch "S" alloy wheels. Im still not done, a new trunk lid spoiler with a satin chrome light bar, and matte black lower diffuser with attached exhaust openings complete with aggressive looks.

It works well, this is a very cool car, with a lower ride height and other fancy suspension things it should handle better. Sadly though it won't go much faster in a straight line it still has the same 3.6-Liter Pentastar V6 with 283 like the normal 200 S, But god look at it!! Sides it's nice to see somebody using a V6 for a change.

The Chrysler 200 Super S will be available in the US in the spring.

Dodge Charger Redliner

The Dodge Dart won't be the only new Dodge with rear racing lights on the back. The Mopar Dodge Charger Redliner. The Mopar brand will have 3 different tuning kits that can be combined is due to go on sale later this year.

 "Since the 1960s, the Mopar Brand has built a long history of adding power and performance to the Dodge Charger – and with the Redline, we Moparized the new Charger with modern-day performance and style while giving a nod to our storied past," said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar.  

 So now you are asking "What are these there tuning kits?!". Well im sad to say there small kittens. No there not small kittens, did you see kittens in the picture above? Didn't think so. Now your wondering if i'll ever get to tuning kits soon or you'll just start looking further down the page because of my stupidity. Fine there below.

The Stage One kit is all about looks adding a full-width carbon fiber chin spoiler, a body-color painted-grille surround with a black "crosshair" insert, carbon fiber door scoops, a three-piece carbon fiber rear spoiler and 20-inch Black Envy alloy wheels. Interior modifications are limited to the aluminum shift bezel and aluminum instrument panel bezel with Redline perimeter accents plus 
stainless steel pedals with a rubberized pattern.

The second stage kit promises to offer improved power and handling though a cat-back performance exhaust system, a front-tower cross-brace and front tower brace caps, plus a high-performance braking system from Mopar.

The third and final kit targets those that intend to use the Charger only for racing with a high-output aluminum-block Gen III 426 HEMI V8 crate engine. The non-street legal 7.0-liter V8 engine features aggressive roller camshaft with .639 intake and .628 exhaust lift and special cylinder heads for a maximum output of 590 horsepower.

More Details soon at the Detriot Auto show.

Mini Panel Van?!

Yes a Mini Panel van is only a rumor, Yes it would look stupid on anything but the clubman, and yes it reminds me of the HHR Panel van.

A van from mini would literally be a "MiniVan". Sources inside of BMW have confirmed a Mini van will be made and will debut at the Geneva Motor show in March.

Auto Motor und sport reports that the van would be based off the Mini Clubman. Sounds easy to me, i mean all you have to do is remove the rear bench seat so you can have a long load floor, take out the side windows and put in some sheet metal and keep or get rid of the back windows. 

Auto Motor und sport said the um. . . same exact thing. . .
