Visually, the Prowler is an incredibly powerful design statement that first and foremost pays homage to the rolling art of hot rods – the ultimate expression of the great American open roadster.

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations.

According to the automaker, all of SRT’s current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car’s use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler’s frame is “the largest machined automotive part in history” is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
