Vegas, NV.
The segment-defining Chrysler PT Cruiser forever
changed the landscape of the automotive industry. The Chrysler PT Super Cruiser
show car appeals to a whole new buyer with its high-performance engine,
race-inspired styling and innovative technology.
Named "Super Cruiser" for its outstanding performance, this custom two-door
Chrysler PT Cruiser features a free-flow exhaust system and a turbocharged
2.4-liter engine that creates more than 300 horsepower. The PT Super Cruiser is
fully functional on the road, yet is prepared for road racing with custom
features such as a six-point safety cage, six-point camlock harnesses, window
nets, Lifeline fire system and Momo race seats and steering wheel.
The two-door PT Super Cruiser features a design theme first seen on the GT Cruiser show car in 2000. The monochromatic front and rear fascias feature integrated bumpers to give the vehicle a clean athletic appearance. The custom carbon fiber hood features exterior gauges, a shift light set in a functional hood scoop and captive hood pins. Llumar created the custom lightweight, blue-tinted windshield, while the Chrysler Group fabricated the remaining windows in lightweight blue tinted Plexiglas® .
From the side, the PT Super Cruiser features sill extensions, wider fenders, 18"x 9.5-in. forged aluminum racing wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup DOT- legal road race tires and massive 12.9-inch Brembo brakes with cross-drilled gold cadmium-plated rotors. The PT Super Cruiser includes a rear wing and custom center-exit twin four-inch exhaust tips. The exterior design is completed with a Chrysler Group/Rohm and Haas custom paint scheme of Octane Orange accented with deep royal blue, which includes glass and rubber additives.
Additionally, the race-inspired interior features a removable Infinity® Entertainment Pak with a 22-inch LCD video screen, 875-watt full surround-sound system, auxiliary batteries, folding chairs and cooler. The package includes an X-Box game console and is completely removable to lighten the vehicle when racing.
Chrysler Group employees in Auburn Hills, Mich., including 10 engineers and 35 UAW members engineered and built the PT Super Cruiser. It was created specially for SEMA.
