Dodge SRT-10

While the Dodge Caliber was the US mainstream brand's core vehicle for its introduction into the UK, the first car to the UK wearing the badge actually arrived in 2004. The SRT-10 (or Viper as it's known in other markets) is about as dramatic as cars can be. This updated version of the Chrysler Viper (officially available in the UK between 1999 and 2003) is all about headline figures: 8.3 litres, 10 cylinders, 190mph, 3.9 seconds from 0-62mph. Unlike the Chrysler Viper GTS, which was a coupe, the left-hand drive SRT-10 is a soft-top. However, it is brash and will be overlooked by many in favour of more sophisticated vehicles available for the £70,000 asking price.

Part leather seats, air conditioning, a CD/radio plus CD autochanger, high-intensity discharge xenon headlights, electric windows and mirrors, electrically adjustable pedals, a Thatcham category one alarm and ABS are standard on the SRT-10.
