2013 Dodge Dart GT unveiled

Dodge has taken the veil off the 2013 Dart GT, prior to its debut at the Detroit auto show.

Based on the Dart Limited, the GT is differentiated by a Hyper Black grille, a dual exhaust system and 18-inch aluminum wheels. There’s also a sport-tuned suspension and “frequency sensing damping shocks.”

Inside the changes are partial, but the model comes properly equipped with perforated Nappa leather seats, a heated steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control. There’s also a digital instrument cluster, heated front seats and a you connect infotainment system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display.

Power will come from a 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder engine that develops 184 bhp (137 kW) and 174 lb-ft (236 Nm) of torque. It can be connected to a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed PowerTech automatic.

The model is expected to go into production in mid 2013 and it would cost $20995 to begin with.

More will be revealed at the auto show where the public can get a glance of the car and its specifications, so stay tuned till then and have fun clicking the pictures.
