The Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT®) brand has launched a thoroughly revamped driveSRT.com website.

SRT vehicles are not simple machines.

For this reason, driveSRT.com takes inquisitive visitors on an exclusive journey into the engineering labs, design studios and the factory floors for a closer look at the meticulous processes that occur throughout the vehicle development process. The five requisite SRT hallmarks ensure each new vehicle is delivered with world-class performance and stunning curb appeal. These hallmarks are explored in great detail on driveSRT.com.

Beyond the vast amount of SRT vehicle information, driveSRT.com enables visitors to connect with owners and fans in real time through direct feeds to SRT on:

• Facebook: facebook.com/driveSRT
• Twitter: @driveSRT
• YouTube: youtube.com/driveSRT
• Flickr: flickr.com/driveSRT

Brand news as well as motorsports and consumer events, and community stories are frequently updated to give visitors regular doses of fresh content. Site visitors also can expect owner profiles and information on SRT clubs nationwide.

"We're excited to bring the newly redesigned driveSRT.com to life," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – SRT Brand and Motorsports. "The new site not only offers more exclusive content but it also provides unique ways to connect and stay connected with many enthusiasts groups that we're building the new SRT brand around."
