Regardless of its awkwardness, seeing that “6” on the
end of “SRT” is rather intriguing, as that definitely indicates some
serious muscle is on the way. The Journey
R/T, the likely donor car for the SRT6 model, has a powerful-as-is
3.6-liter V-6 engine that cranks out 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet
of torque and pumping more power from that Pentastar is pretty eyebrow
raising.
Given the fact that most STR4 and SRT6
models include either a supercharger or a turbocharger, we would expect
this Pentastar V-6 engine to crank out upwards of 370 horsepower and 400
pound-feet of torque with a turbo or 330 horsepower and 325 pound-feet
with a supercharger. Regardless of the configuration, this will make
this crossover SUV, which looks more like a minivan than an SUV, a real
screamer.
We also anticipate the SRT6 model to come
standard with all-wheel drive, as anything less than that would be a
true disservice to Dodge’s customer base. On top of all of the
performance enhancements, expect SRT to inject some appearance items.
The likely additions will include 20-inch rims, ground effects, a custom
interior, and a lower stance.
While there is no
anticipated release date yet, we expect to see the SRT6 as a mid-2013
model or an early 2014 model. We will continue to keep you updated as
more details come out, but on the surface, this looks like one crossover
not to be messed with. Our hats go off to the Fiat leadership for
thinking outside the box, now we just have to see if people actually buy
it.
