SEMA UPDATE: 2014 Dodge Dart, Challenger and Charger equipped with Scat Packages
Dodge adopted the “Scat Pack Club” moniker in 1968 to collectively refer to its performance models and encourage camaraderie among enthusiasts. This time, around, Mopar is using the name for performance packages available on the Challenger, Charger, and Dart.
Each package will be available in three stages, each offering additional performance enhancements for the 5.7-liter V-8s in the Challenger and Charger, and the 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the Dart.
Modifications include “optimized” engine calibration and freer-flowing intake and exhaust systems. The V-8 cars get more serious hardware–including new camshafts and ported-and-polished cylinder heads–in the upper stages, while the Dart gets suspension and brake upgrades. All three Scat Pack cars also get unique graphics and custom interiors with Katzkin leather. The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and the Scat Packs will arrive at Dodge dealers in early 2014.

FROM ROAD TO FILM
Over the years, Audi has had hundreds of Hollywood car appearances. One of the most memorable was the RSQ concept from I, Robot, which went on to inspire the R8 production car. The RSQ shared a mid-engine layout and some of the same styling elements with the R8, but for the most part, it was a fairly typical futuristic Hollywood concept. Audi is now making a return to the silver screen with its “Fleet Shuttle Quattro” in the recent film, Ender’s Game. Another movie to salivate over.

POLICE’S TOUGH RIDE
The Dubai Police is adding another exotic vehicle to its stable. This Brabus B63-S 700 Widestar–a tuned version of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG–has debuted at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show in police livery. With 536 horsepow…er, the G63’s 5.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 is already pretty potent. However, Brabus fiddled with it and was able to extract an otherworldly 700 horses. With that extra power, Brabus says the B63-S 700 Widestar will do 0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 149 mph–perfect for pursuit work. Wish we have the same fleet here.
