High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Dodge Hornet is a concept car mini MPV designed and developed by Dodge and revealed in 2006. It is Dodge's first attempt at building a car this small, and it is expected to hit the road in 2010. The Hornet was to be the first fruit from the cooperation between Chrysler and Nissan, but such plans were canceled upon Chrysler's merger with Fiat. Instead, the car will share Fiat's 199 platform with the Alfa Romeo MiTo. It is expected to be an upscale small car designed to compete against the Mini (BMW). According to Dodge it is a rally inspired design based on the Jeep Compass platform, powered by a 1.6 L supercharged 4-cylinder Tritec engine rated at 170 hp (127 kW). This engine was manufactured in a Chrysler-BMW joint venture in Brazil. The Hornet has a throaty engine note, louder than Dodge's V10 Viper, and the performance of this car really is not surprising given Dodge's history of building "quick" cars with the New Charger and the Challenger soon to be arriving on UK roads.
