The development of the Dodge Viper, or European Chrysler Viper, was approved in 1989 by Chrysler President Bob Lutz. The prototype of the new brand became a star at the Detroit International Motor Show in 1989. The final version of the two-seater roadster Viper Rt10 was ready in 1991.
It is equipped with an all-aluminum V10 engine with a displacement of 8 liters, developed in collaboration with the Italian company Lamborghini. The engine was made in two versions - 394 hp. for the domestic market and 364 hp as an export option. Other features of the Viper include a 6-speed manual transmission, fully independent all-wheel suspension, a central tubular frame and a body made of composite materials. The Viper Rt10 has become America's most powerful production sports car, and it is almost entirely assembled by hand.

In the 1980s, Dodge offered front-wheel drive economy cars - Shadow models with 3- or 5-door bodies, similar to the Plymouth Sundance, and Aries, available in several versions, as well as a 5-door hatchback Lancer. The American classic at the time was represented only by a 5.2-meter Diplomat with a V8 engine.
Dodge Grand Caravan 2008
The Dodge Caravan, a front-wheel drive minivan with a transverse engine, appeared in the Chrysler range in 1984 and caused a real sensation in the automotive market. This concept was unique and at the same time so practical that in a short time won a large number of fans. The car is delivered to Europe under the Chrysler Voyager brand. Together with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, this model is the best-selling American car on the European continent. Dodge Caravan is an analogue of the respective models Chrysler Town & Country and Plymouth Voyager.

The first series of Charger cars was built in 1966. The following year, the rear of the car was made shorter, a new rear window was installed, an aerodynamic plane appeared on the trunk lid, and the headlights were placed behind the radiator grille. All this gave the model a spectacular sporty appearance.
The Charger was offered with three powerful 8-cylinder engines with a displacement of 5211; 6891 and 7210 cm. The buyer could choose both manual and automatic transmission. The model with the most powerful Hemi V8 engine with a volume of 6974 cm with hemispherical combustion chambers was in great demand.
For example, the 1969 Dodge Hemi Charger 500 with this 430 hp engine accelerates from standstill to 96 km / h in 5.7 seconds and easily develops a top speed of 217 km / h. Hemi Charger 500 was rightly considered one of the fastest production cars of its time. However, the soon-to-be-introduced exhaust gas standards forced the company to abandon the production of particularly powerful engines.

Two years later, it was replaced by an even more compact Dart. In 1966, the Charger model was introduced with a V8 engine with a displacement of 5,210 cm, and its sports version was equipped with a 7-liter engine and developed 425 hp. In 1970, another powerful Challenger car with a 7-liter engine appeared.

Later, the new Challenger received a more modest 5210 cm engine. The light and front-wheel drive Omni, based on the French Simca Horizon, compact Aspen and Diplomat based on Chrysler Le Baron with automatic transmission, as well as the direct successor of the Charger brand - Magnum sports coupe with various V8 engines up to 200 hp.

During the war, trucks 1/2 1/2, 3/4 tons Dodge WC54, Dodge WC64 were used for clinics. In the first postwar years, the company continued to introduce slightly modified models developed before 1942. In 1949, the first new Wayfarer, Meadowbrook and Coronet cars appeared with a 6-cylinder engine with 102 hp. and semi-automatic transmission.
Produced in the early postwar years, the Coronet found its second youth in 1953 with a new modern body and a V8 engine with hemispherical combustion chambers, although it was also offered with an old 6-cylinder engine. Compared to previous models, it looked more perfect. Among the range of Coronet cars equipped with different bodies, a two-door 5-seater convertible and a similar "hardtop" with a hardtop, such as the Diplomat, looked particularly elegant. There was also a 5-door Sierra cargo and passenger version. In total, more than 300,000 Coronet cars were produced in the first year. With minor external changes, the model was produced for 3 years.

With the launch of the Polara and Matador brands in 1960, Dodge moved into the production of cars with load-bearing bodies. At the same time, the serial production of a small Dart car was mastered, and in 1961 a compact Lancer with a 6-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2785 cm was introduced.

On top of the success, the brothers died: John from pneumonia, Horace from cirrhosis of the liver. The Dodge brothers' fortune was decent - more than 20 million each. In addition, the heirs of the brothers (except for widows, they have no one left), received 50% of the share capital. But both widows did not have entrepreneurial talents, and the company began to suffer losses.
For $ 145 million, Dodge bought out a consortium of American banks, which slightly improved its financial situation. In 1927, Dodge introduced its first 6-cylinder Senior Six hydraulic brake system, which replaced all 4-cylinder models the following year. In 1928, the cheaper and more economical Victory Six was added.
On the eve of the economic crisis, Dodge was on the verge of bankruptcy again, and its management decided to sell the company to the rising star of the time - Walter Chrysler, who at the time was building his own car empire, buying all the car factories indiscriminately. In 1928, Dodge became part of the Chrysler Corporation and the Dodge became a trademark of Chrysler.

The first car had a 3.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 35 hp. and was positioned as a budget, but "real" car, in contrast to the popular but primitive Ford T. And it was only one and a half times more expensive. This strategy was a success: inexpensive and reliable cars were in good demand. By 1919, Dodge sales had exceeded 100,000 units. In 1916, the Dodge became the world's first mass-produced car with an all-metal body manufactured by Budd, which was available in both open and closed versions. Since 1917, trucks have been manufactured under the Dodge brand.
The U.S. military soon ordered Dodge cars for use in Mexico during a military operation against General Pancho Villa. In 1916, Lieutenant George S Patton took part in what is now the first "mechanized cavalry" in a Dodge car. Dodge has established a strong relationship with the US military, offering its cars under the motto "Dependable" (reliable cars).
Dodge / Dodge cars were a great success - in 1915 they sold 45 thousand units. In the late 1910s, the company ranked second in the United States in terms of production.

Brothers John Dodge and Horace Dodge came to the auto industry long before they started their own car company. As early as 1897, they began producing bicycles in Detroit, and in 1900 they founded a machine-building plant to produce car parts. They supplied transmissions for the Oldsmobile, in 1903 helped Henry Ford to finance and build engines for the Ford Motor Company, and until 1913 John Dodge was even vice president of the company. The Dodge brothers' products have been praised for their quality and reliability. Deciding that it was time to produce cars themselves, the brothers on the basis of their factories created a company in 1913, which was called - "Dodge Brothers" (Dodge Brothers), which was one of the first to begin production of cars with all-metal bodies. The small company, which used to make components for Ford and Olds Motors, absorbed all the technological innovations of the time, including Ford's standardization and assembly technology (Henry Ford even sued the brothers, but without success).

The first Dodge Brothers, later jokingly nicknamed "Old Betsy," left the plant on November 14, 1914, and by the end of the year, the Dodge had driven 249 more of the same cars. Each of them on the upper tank of the radiator boasted the company's logo - a globe placed in the center of the Star of David

Dodge is an American automobile company within the Chrysler Corporation, which specializes in the production of cars, pickups, minivans and sports cars. Headquartered in Highland Park, Michigan. Today, along with cars, Dodge also produces SUVs, minivans and pickups. The Dodge logo changed regularly, but most often, as in our time [when?], The emblem featured a ram's head. According to one version, the reason for this was one of the Dodge models, the curved exhaust manifold of which resembled the twisted horns of a mountain ram.
As part of Chrysler Corporation, Dodge stands out for its sporty off-road image. Dodge's car range completely copies those of Chrysler and Plymouth, but the company's SUVs are produced under only one brand. Apparently, due to this fact, as well as the undeniable external appeal of the Dakota, Durango and Ram, the Dodge name is associated with SUVs and, of course, the sports supercar Viper, produced as a sports coupe
