‘’2018 SRT Barracuda’’ Review, Specs, Features
Since the Barracuda’s inception, the 2018 Barracuda has evolved and gained weight in the process. With fuel economy a growing ¬priority—not to mention four-cylinder versions of both the Mustang and Camaro on the horizon— needed to slim down its offering. Fortunately, Fiat has been on the prowl for a rear-drive platform for use by Lancia, Alfa Romeo, and possibly Maserati. These factors motivated to develop a new platform, and the 2018 Barracuda will be its first fruit.
Similar in size to the current Mustang, the 2018 Barracuda is expected to lose more than six inches from the Barracuda’s wheelbase and close to eight in overall length. Rear track and overall width are forecast to shrink by a bit more than two inches. Weight will drop by between 250 and 300 pounds. The front suspension may move from control arms to a strut setup; the rear suspension will remain multilink, with new geometry.
