Isn't that the 2.4L four-cylinder World Engine that sends 172 horsepower and 165 ft-lbs Dodge Demon?
At least it got a catchy name. I'd like to put horns on it.

It's definately form over function. I mean what those intake scoops for in front of the rear wheels? Speed holes?

I want to say Dodge had some pretty mean turbo 4-cyl. back in the day..... around 240 / 280Z era. God forbid they drop the Stage 3 SRT-4 engine in that thing (or even the REGULAR SRT-4 motor)... MOPAR also produces quite a few parts for Dodge cars...

What I don't get about the market is that you're injecting all these performance bits into a bargain packaged as a sedan and roadsters, why not build a good rwd/awd coupe for the same money. Sorry, kinda off topic, agreed it is rather ugly, don't mind the front but it just doesn't suit the roadster character though.

I was thinking its Dodge's interpretation of the Solstice.
And I have heard that it won't make it to production because Chrysler has money problems. So why waste all the money on a concept that gets people excited?

is it just me or does dodges new concept scream of S2000
I wouldn't say in screams S2000. I would say that to those that can't tell the difference between two roadsters it looks a much like the S2000 as the Z4, the Boxster, the Miata, or either of the Kappas. But to me, it looks NOTHING like an S2000, aside from the similarities that all roadsters have.

look at the angle of the headlights, the flow of the windshield, the spoon like s2000 fenders, and the mirrors....maybe saying it screamed of s2000 was wrong, but i def think that the s had a major part in the design of this little beast
