At first glance this car looks like a mean and hungry roadster. This car is designed to take on the Mazda Miata MX-5 head on and it seems it will do a fine job. It will debut at the Geneva auto show next month. Pricing is not available for this vehicle, but you can expect it to be competitively priced against the Miata. Since it still is a concept car, it does not have fixed specifications, but rumors are that it could come mated with a 172 hp 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine that can produce 165 ft-lbs of torque. It is possible that Dodge may offer their “World Engine” that is found on the Caliber SRT-4. This engine has the capacity to produce 300 hp, enough to even take on the Honda S2000, Nissan 350Z, Subaru WRX, and Mitsubishi Lancer Evos. Although, only the S2000 would seem like the appropriate roadster to compete against.

This car looks like a mini-Viper that is out to hunt some people down. No word on the official price of this car, but it is interesting to note that it has been built from the grounds up, unlike most concepts which build upon existing platforms currently in use.
