When the Dodge Dart was launched, press books included talk of a 2.4-liter variant named the Dodge Dart R/T, which was due to come out around January 2013.

Unless something has changed very recently, Dundee was/is scheduled to start the 2.4 Tigershark engines any day now (lower volume until end of 2013 model year), with flex line starting in August/September.
