There's a lot of history wrapped up in the 2013 Dodge Dart GTS 210 Tribute. For starters, it's supposed to commemorate 75 years of Mopar, which, in case you're wondering, stands for MOtor PARts, Chrysler's in-house go-fast aftermarket division.

Second, the GTS Tribute harkens back to the Dart of old, which was built between 1960 and 1976, and specifically the GTS model of the late 1960s. Never mind that this new Dart has absolutely nothing in common with that rear-wheel-drive, body-on-frame muscle car other than its name.

Finally, it's easy to see some Dodge Neon SRT4 in the Dart GTS, most notably in its carbon fiber hood with a single, centered hood scoop, which feeds cold air to a Mopar intake that bumps horsepower to 210. Also take note of the 18-inch, titanium-finish ten-spoke wheels and the Ruby Red and black motif both inside and out.

Buyers hoping to snag a 2013 Dodge Dart GTS 210 Tribute will have to get out their aftermarket Mopar catalogs, as this car won't be made available at Dodge dealerships. Related Gallery2013 Dodge Dart GTS 210 Tribute:

Hot off the heels of its worldwide production debut at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, Mopar wasted no time giving the 2013 Dodge Dart even more sporting pretensions both inside and out. The all-new Dodge Dart embodies class-leading and class-exclusive features in many areas including aerodynamics, technology and safety, and the stage kits by Mopar enhance these attributes. The Alfa Romeo-based Dodge Dart already has sporty driving dynamics baked into its DNA, and Team Mopar added even more distinction to reinforce the car's fun-to-drive nature.

The exterior picks up several matte-black trim pieces, including a lower chin spoiler, side sills, rear spoiler and rear-diffuser panel. A lightweight carbon-fiber hood with large air scoop and 18-inch, 10-spoke forged alloy titanium-colored wheels finish off exterior modifications.

Red and black is carried over into the interior, which has been refined beyond the 14 interior color and trim options available in the all-new 2013 Dodge Dart. Ruby Red is the dominant color used on Katzkin leather seat fronts, door panels, center armrest and map-pocket inserts. Black accent stitching is used in the seats and armrest, as well. Piano Black trim is used on the shifter bezel, cup holder bezel and the dash-vent bezels. Final interior touches include a black suede instrument cluster brow with red accent stitching, a Piano Black accented floating island bezel and a Ruby Red and black leather-wrapped steering wheel with red accent stitching.

The Dodge Dart GTS 210 Tribute performance calibration has been employed maximizing fuel/air mix and spark advance, with an improved air-flow intake and low back-pressure exhaust to achieve 210 horsepower from a base engine of 184 horsepower.Image Credit:

This car will be a huge hit. The Chrysler 300 (Thema) is built in Switzerland, this American built Fiat (Dart) is just one more example of how globalization and sharing of technology will mean safer, more efficient and interesting looking cars for everyone. If only we could get the 42mpg Chrysler 300 diesel in the US.

2013 dart...what a waste of butt juice....4 cyl piece o crap. what an injustice when the charger and challenger get the hp they earned...the dart desreves a v8 such as in the challenger...at least...

The Lancer is awd the Impreza awd the past Neons of past fwd not since the old Eclipse has Mitsubishi/Chrysler/Dodge engineered awd into a [performance] <<< sm/mid car. Dodge has had the opportunity to do so the awd performance but it's a niche market. Granted there are the full size vehicles that have the awd options but not all out performance. Fwd is and will always be limited but torque and hp that can be used before limiters compute it dwn. Oh well it looks great but alas another fwd vehicle that will be fun but limited fun. :

The lines on this car will age very well just by the huge positive reaction from the public in the way it looks. There were very few complaints about it at the Detroit Auto Show.

I for one am rather impressed with the looks of this thing. They've managed to take a attractive European shape and Americanize it into a instantly recognizable Dodge compact sedan. It identifies as a Neon successor in ways the awful Caliber never could. Sleek and refined looking while having an aggressive and masculine element. The only thing that bothers me is the mix of finishes. Gloss red pain, gloss black paint, gloss carbon fiber, matte black paint, satin finished titanium elements. Would have made more sense to me to either make the hood a matte carbon fiber or make the roof and spoiler finishes in a gloss carbon fiber.

The alfa guilietta the cars the dodge dart is based on is consider one of the best cars in the world and since came to the market couple years ago sales have been incredible ....
