SRT4 delivers customers an unmatched performance/value equation,”
said Mike Accavitti, Director – Dodge Brand and SRT Marketing
Communications, Chrysler. “With 285 horsepower, 265 lb.-ft. of

and interior appointments, Dodge and SRT have once again boldly
joined the sport-compact performance market in dominating fashion.”
The all-new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 showcases the renowned, five key

characteristics across a broad range; benchmark braking; and
standout powertrain. The all-new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4
unquestionably delivers in all five areas.
Exterior styling includes an aggressive SRT stance, a front fascia
with functional brake cooling ducts and a larger grille opening. The
unique hood features a functional air scoop enhancing underhood
cooling. A large integrated spoiler above the rear glass is tuned
for smoother air flow and lift reduction. Available exterior colors

Inside, the all-new Caliber SRT4 boasts sport seating with deep,
performance bolsters, an SRT race-inspired instrument design, and an
optional Reconfigurable Display (RCD), with exclusive “performance
pages” that provide lateral and longitudinal G-force, 1/8-mile and
1/4-mile acceleration time and speed, 0-60 mph time and braking
distance.
The Dodge Caliber SRT4’s suspension is lowered 28mm in the front and
22mm in the rear, contributing to the unique SRT performance ride
and handling characteristics. Chassis highlights include unique
performance tuning, 19-inch cast-aluminum wheels and Goodyear three-
or four-season performance tires.
Benchmark braking is delivered via four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes
with 340 x 28mm vented front rotors and 302 x 10mm rear rotors, with
twin-piston aluminum front calipers.
And finally, a whopping 285 horsepower and tire-smoking 265 lb.-ft.

ground. |
