The 47th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah is set to begin this weekend and ahead of the massive offroading extravaganza, Mopar has issued teasers of just two of the customized Jeep concept vehicles set to debut at the national Jeep event.

We have expected for some time now that there would be a higher performance version of the new SRT Viper but today, the internet has been abuzz with the new 2013 SRT Viper TA – a special Time Attack version of the 640 horsepower Mopar supercar.

Recently leaked Chrysler production plans lead us to believe that the next generation Chrysler 200 midsized sedan will debut in January 2014 – seemingly confirming the comment made by company CEO Sergio Marchionne earlier this year that the new 200 had been delayed until 2014.

Chrysler has announced the recall of select model year 2013 Dodge Challengers due to a fire risk and is advising all owners to refrain from driving.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the founding members of the sporty utility vehicle segment and with the 2013 Grand Cherokee SRT8 – it is clear why this is the most awarded SUV ever considering that it is one of the few on the market that emphasizes both sport and utility.

Chrysler group's Chairman, Sergio Marchionne is auctioning off his exclusive Dodge Challenger SRT8 via Barrett Jackson.

The Chevrolet Camaro did what it has done so frequently over the past three years in February 2013 - posting a high sales figure than the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger – allowing GM’s muscle car to extend its lead over the cross town rivals as the Camaro works on its fourth straight annual sales title.

Jeep lovers in the US have long been calling for a diesel powered Trail Rated SUV and the refreshed 2015 Jeep Wrangler could be the next vehicle from the popular brand to pack diesel power – provided that the new EcoDiesel in the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee is well received by American buyers.

Since the day that the 2013 SRT Viper was introduced last year, there has been speculation that a higher performance ACR model coming and while the arrival of the Viper ACR has been unofficially confirmed next year – the performance capabilities could be limited by Fiat in an effort to avoid competition between the Viper and the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

After some images of the new unnamed midsized Jeep earlier today, the company has released a handful of official images of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee – providing an early first look at the uniquely designed sport utility vehicle that will debut next month at the New York International Auto Show.

The United States Postal Service has just released their new Muscle Car stamps, with five legendary American muscle cars featured in the newest release of the “America on the Move” series - giving both automotive collectors and stamp collectors a reason to rush out to their local post office this morning.

The recall, which is Chrysler's third since last week, addresses a serious fuel tank assembly problem that affects nearly 1,800 model-year 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger cars.

A Chrysler Group representative has confirmed that when the 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C arrives in the US market late this year, the top performing Fiat dealerships will be the first to receive their portion of the limited allotment of new Italian sports cars.

Chrysler's recall of the Dodge Viper comes just one day after the automaker issued a massive recall of 360,000 SUVs and pickup trucks due to a rear axle issue.

Chrysler has expanded a September 2012 recall to remedy a rear axle pinion problem, which concerns 2009 Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen SUVs, 2009 to 2011 Dodge Dakota and 2009 to 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup trucks.

The Chrysler Group has just announced that they will begin offering the 2014 Ram 1500 with a diesel V6 engine – making the Ram brand the first half ton, light duty truck in the American market to pack the power and efficiency of diesel power.

The first production run of the 2013 SRT Viper is nearing an end and all 800 of the new Vipers built have been spoken for with a surprising 80% of those 2013 Viper coupes being fitted with the high performance GTS package but more importantly – SRT boss Ralph Gilles has confirmed that a convertible should be available within the next few years.

Today’s start of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show introduced the world to the new SRT Core packages for the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the Chrysler 300C SRT8 – a somewhat stripped out package to answer the pleas of prospective SRT buyers who want the go fast goodies but not all of the luxury that comes with all of the SRT models.

The Chrysler Group has long been lead in monthly and annual sales by models like the Ram Trucks, the minivan lineup and the large sedans including the Dodge Charger and the Chrysler 300 but in January 2013, some surprising models found themselves atop the list of the company’s bestselling vehicles.

The Chevrolet Camaro began 2013 in much the same way that it ended 2012 – with a decline in sales compared to the previous year while still moving enough units to be America’s bestselling muscle car.

Over the past few weeks we have taken a close look at the new debuts at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit’s Cobo Hall and with such a big year at hand – the folks here at TorqueNews put our heads together to come up with our favorites from Detroit in a variety of categories.

Among the introductions at next week’s 2013 Chicago Auto Show will be the 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline with this sinister appearance package coming wrapped around the Hemi-powered Challenger offering 375 horsepower and 410lb-ft of torque.

According to the 2012 Chrysler business plan update, the Jeep brand will be getting six new models between now and 2016 – most likely including the new Cherokee and the long rumored Grand Wagoneer.

While the first details of the Mopar 13 Dodge Dart were leaked via the Dodge of Canada website, the Chrysler Group issued a full statement on the limited edition Dodge Dart with complete information on the sporty compact sedan headed to Chicago.

Freshly released Chrysler documents have offered some vague information on the future of the Dodge brand lineup including two new models and 4 refreshed versions of vehicles currently in production – one of which will be the next generation Dodge Challenger.

Based on an official yet vague company document released today, it appears as though the new SRT Viper will receive a refresh in 2015 while the high performance Dodge Dart SRT looks like it might not arrive until 2016 at the earliest.

While the Chrysler Group is waiting until the upcoming Chicago Auto Show to debut the new Mopar 13, the Canadian Dodge website has let the car out of the bag with full details on the 2013 Dodge Dart Mopar 13 package.
