> Dodge and SRT Motorsports is getting into rally car racing with its new Dodge Dart and a one of the sport’s biggest stars: Travis Pastrana.
> 
> The 2013 Dodge Dart will participate in the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship Series with Pastrana — a four-time Rally America Champion and 17-time X Games Gold Medalist — behind the wheel.
> 
> The new Dodge Dart Rally Car will make its official public debut at the New York International Auto Show next month.
> 
> **The car will be powered by a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, 16-valve turbo-charged engine with 600-plus horsepower engine with 550 pound feet of torque.**
> 
> “At Dodge, racing is an integral part of our heritage and embodies our competitive spirit,” Reid Bigland, president and CEO of the Dodge brand said in a statement.
> 
> Pastrana, 28, is a stunt performer and a proven winner in freestyle motocross and rally car racing and has competed in NASCAR.
> 
> “To be able to partner with Dodge to field my own program this year is a dream come true,” Pastrana said in a statement. “The new Dodge Dart offers the perfect platform for rally cross, and I look forward to putting it on the podium all season long.”
> 
> The Global RallyCross Championship combines circuit racing, off-road racing and rally competition into one race. The sport debuted in the US at X Games 16 in Los Angeles in 2010.
> 
> “Travis is a living example of what action sports activities are all about,” Ralph Gilles, president and CEO of Street and Racing Technology Brand and Motorsports said in a statement.
> 
> The production version of the Dodge Dart compact car debuts this spring. The Dart will be the first Chrysler group car to be built on a Fiat platform. Fiat, Chrysler’s majority owner, gained a controlling stake in Chrysler in 2009.
