The SRT race-inspired design Dodge Caliber SRT4 accommodates sport seating with deep, performance bolsters 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.

Complimenting the Dodge Caliber SRT4 value package, Tarek Kalaoui, Al Mulla & Behbehani Motor Company Marketing Manager says 'the Dodge Caliber offers its driver a benchmark performance in the sport-compact market.

The 285 horsepower under the hood car features a functional air scoop enhancing underhood cooling and an integrated spoiler above the rear glass for a smooth air flow and of course, a flying sensation on the road.'

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.

Benchmark braking is delivered via four-wheel disc brakes with 340 x 28mm vented front rotors and 302 x 10mm rear rotors, with twin-piston aluminum front calipers.

And last but not least, a tire-smoking 265 lb.-ft. of torque is delivered courtesy of Chrysler's 2.4-liter DOHC I-4 Turbo World Engine.

An electronically tuned Brake Lock Differential and Getrag DMT-6 six-speed transmission help put the power to the ground.

'The car will definitely be cherished by one who appreciates a smooth blend of a revisited classic feel and a sporty edge design and performance. Our customers can savor the elegance in its design while enjoy the live racing feel' says Tarek Kalaoui. The Dodge Caliber SRT4 joins the SRT line-up from which car enthusiasts can enjoy the Chrysler 300C SRT8, the Grand Cherokee SRT8, the Dodge Nitro RT and the Dodge Charger RT, all at Al Mulla & Behbehani Motor Company, Al Rai Industrial Showroom.

Every SRT vehicle showcases five key aspects:
- exterior styling that resonates with the brand image,
- race-inspired interiors,
- world-class ride and handling characteristics across a broad range,
- benchmark braking,
- standout powertrain.

'The Dodge Caliber SRT4 delivers in all five areas amazingly' comments Tarek Kalaoui then adds 'the SRT line-up, or Street and Racing Technology, demonstrates once more its commitment to offer the best in the sport-compact market. Driving is not a mean of transportation; it is a moment of joyful freedom. Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge have successfully translated that feeling into the car's mechanics.'

Dodge first started making its first cars in 1914 and joined Chrysler LLC in 1928. Manufacturing automobiles, sport utility vehicles and trucks, the brand is best described as bold, powerful, capable and smart.

Thus, Dodge now became the company's low-price leader as well as its performance division.

The SRT line-up includes Chrysler's boldest, most distinctive products by single-mindedly following its core vision: deliver benchmark performance with absolute integrity and credibility on the streets.

Following the same mission value, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge's Road and Track (RT) line-up offers absolute driving sensations on roads and professional tracks.

Chrysler's reputation was built upon the years not only through performance standards and design uniqueness in its vehicle, but also in the Hemi engines used exclusively in all of the company's performance cars. Whether the engine was a 5.7 L or a 6.1 L, Chrysler Hemi engines is an internal combustion engine built by Chrysler that utilizes a hemispherical combustion chamber improving the engine's airflow, 'breathing' capacity.

All Hemi engines are equipped with a multi-displacement system (MDS) which allows the 8 cylinder engine to function as a 4 cylinder engine when the power is not needed. The engine's consumption of gas is therefore reduced by 20%.

Pointing out Chrysler's exclusive Hemi engines, Tarek Kalaoui says 'Hemi engines are one of the best in the world. The Hemi heritage offers car enthusiasts the best of race-inspired cars for street driving, making of Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge cars a treat to drive'. Chrysler is poised to always enhance the Hemi engines performance and driving sensation.
