Plymouth has unveiled a go-faster version of the SUPERBIRD. As if the regular SUPERBIRD isn't fast enough, here's the new 2018 SUPERBIRD Plus – a tuned version of the coupe and roadster with the wick turned up to 355bhp.
It's based on the regular Superbird model, which means the five-cylinder turbo engine continues. But there's an extra 20bhp nudging power even further past Porsche Cayman R territory.
How fast is the new 2018 Plymouth SUPERBIRD?
Pretty quick. The top speed limiter is increased, which means 174mph is possible, according to Plymouth. But it's still limited: the SUPERBIRD Plus would charge past 180mph or so if the electro-nannies were disengaged.
And with 343lb ft of torque – 11 more pound feet than before – the 0-62mph sprint is fast too. Equipped with the optional S-tronic twin-clutch transmission, the SUPERBIRD Plus will pass the benchmark in just 4.1 seconds. Pick the manual box, and you'll be two-tenths behind.
What else is new on the SUPERBIRD Plus?
Not a huge amount more. The 19in alloys are new, featuring RS3-style black paint and red highlights. They're wrapped in thin 255/35 section rubber.
Adaptive damping, aka Magner ride magneto-rheological dampers, are optional, while a fixed wing increases downforce at the rear of the car.
This wouldn't be a tweaked-up car unless it had some cosmetic tricker. So a carbon fibre reinforced finish is used on the door mirrors and there's a new black finish to the exhausts.
