type='html'>
Joining the 2012 Dodge Charger Redline at the upcoming North American International Auto Show in Detroit next week will be a second Mopar creation, this time based on the Chrysler 200 sedan called the Super S.There are two available kits that improve the Chrysler 200 sedan's looks and handling respectively and which can be ordered together.
"The Super S is Mopar's interpretation of the Chrysler 200," said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar. "The extensive list of high-quality Mopar parts enhances the performance and appearance of our Chrysler 200."
For Stage One, Mopar's team developed an appearance package that includes a large chin spoiler, satin chrome fog light trim, grille surround and mesh in the upper and lower grilles, new side sills, satin chrome belt moldings, black chrome "200" badges and gray or hyper black 18-inch "S" alloy wheels.
A new trunk lid spoiler along with a satin chrome light bar and a matte black lower diffuser with attached exhaust openings complete the more aggressive look.
While there aren't any upgrades for the engine, Stage Two adds a coil-over suspension that also lowers the ride height, along with a cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust system.
The Super S packages will be available for order in the U.S. this spring.

New Mopar '12 Chrysler 300 Special to go on Sale in this Summer, Only 500 will be Made
The Chrysler division's tuning and performance arm also made changes to the interior that features black leather with blue accent stitching on the seats and steering wheel, a unique Mopar shifter handle, special sill plates and badges, and matte carbon hydrographic accents on the instrument panel and center console sections.
The Mopar '12 300 retains the standard model's 363 horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine linked to a five-speed auto transmission but the differential has been boosted from 3.06:1 to a 3.91:1 final-drive ratio for enhanced acceleration with the company stating that the car returns a 0-to-60 mph time in the "low 5-second range".
The suspension, on the other hand, has been re-tuned and gets 42 percent stiffer front and 23 percent stiffer rear spring rates, while to improve grip and braking, Mopar fitted the '12 300 with stickier P245/45R20 Goodyear Eagle F1 three-season tires and high-performance brake linings mounted to dual-piston front and single-piston rear calipers.
Mopar will also give each customer of the 12 300 a personalized owner kit that includes vehicle identification number (VIN), exact date of manufacture and the number of the vehicle, plus an original sketch of the car signed by the designer and the official brochure.
