A Dodge Rampage is really a subcompact (more compact compared to normal compact car), monocoque, coupe utility manufactured around 1982 to 1984 based on the L platform of Chrysler. The Rampage was initially launched in 1982 and was later introduced as well as Plymouth Scamp. A Dodge Rampage is a subcompact (smaller than the normal compact car), monocoque, coupe utility manufactured around 1982 to 1984 according to the L platform of Chrysler. The Rampage was first released in 1982 and was later brought together with Plymouth Scamp, its replacement brand trademark (rebadged). This rare model borrowed its front fascia and structural skin from the Dodge Omni 024 version. The Dodge Rampage was designed and manufactured by Chrysler with a 2.2L carburetor and 96 hp inline-four engine with a 1,100 kg curb weight. Early models had 4-speed standard transmissions but were later improved in 1983 when the 5-speed manual gearbox was introduced.
The back part can carry a load of around 519kg. The real competitors of this Dodge model were Subaru Brat and the Rabbit Sports truck by Volkswagen. This Dodge coupe utility can be bought at reasonable price but the front-engine layout became a problem since this type of engine design is not usually used in trucks. The Japanese cars during those years were also a very strong competition and offered better fit, finish and quality. The Dodge Rampage endured three years and production and stopped after the 1984 model was made. However, this Dodge model also has several advantages such as a brisk performance, long-lasting engine, slick styling and was the only known front-wheel truck (aside from the Rabbit from Volkswagen). You get a hold of the benefits of road holding with the vehicle's front-engine layout plus it is lightweight too. Its brakes are designed to hold with light or heavy loads. There is a lever that connects the cargo box with the rear axle that can narrow or widen the rear wheels' braking power. At times when a heavy weight pushes down the box, the lever opens to give the brakes increased stopping power and if the load is quite light, the valves will limit the power of the brakes. Moreover, there is a wide space at the back of the front seats that has a plastic tray that can hold small things. It even has similar gauges and dashboard instruments of its predecessor (O24). Although a slight oversight of the heater control was made since it was placed by the steering wheel. The Dodge Rampage has uniqueness in it plus it boasts of its fuel economy.
The versions with 75 and 90 PS will be offered at market launch; the 105-PS version will follow with a schedule offset. It is quite interesting to compare the properties of the new 1.4 TDI with those of the retired 1.2 TDI. Increasing displacement to 1.4 litres leads to significantly improved drive-off torque and results in more harmonious torque and power curves. Even in the 75-PS version, a powerful 210 Nm of peak torque is already available at a low 1,500 rpm. The new three-cylinder engine also offers very good comfort properties. Technology implemented by Volkswagen to increase comfort include new engine bearings; the engines also have a balancer shaft and a dual-mass flywheel to also minimise vibration and noise. A newly designed engine cover and special oil pan facing shell contribute towards further reducing acoustic emissions. The new generation of engines has improved TDI fuel economy significantly. When it made its debut in 2009, the efficient and safe Polo (five stars in EuroNCAP crash testing) was also a frontrunner in visual design.
This was the first time that Volkswagen implemented its contemporary "design DNA" in the B segment (EU class designation) after its initial introduction in the Scirocco and Golf. 2 mm), 1,682 mm wide (without door mirrors) and 1,453 mm tall. The front-end design -has a much more three-dimensional and sporty look due to its redesigned bumper and larger lower air intake. A new chrome trim strip is a design-structuring element that visually joins the two fog lights and gives the Polo a wider look. At the same time, the trim strip shifts the visual centre of gravity further downward. The latest generation Polo introduces a very innovative lighting design into the model series. Volkswagen has developed entirely new headlights in LED technology for the top version Polo - a first in the model series and the entire class. These LED dual headlights, with their highly detailed avant-garde design, are unmistakable - even from a distance - and feature prominent reflectors. The light of the LED headlights is even whiter and more similar to daylight than that of xenon headlights, and it is less straining to the eyes of drivers while driving at dawn or dusk or at night.
