Prowler is the modern, high-technology tribute to the American hot rod. Prowler is the only series-produced street rod available in North America. Its retro styling makes it instantly recognizable. An all-aluminum four-wheel independent suspension and aluminum/sheet molded composite (SMC) body keep Prowler at the forefront of automotive technology. Prowler's light weight, excellent weight distribution, 3.5-liter high-output aluminum V-6 engine and AutoStick(R) four-speed automatic transaxle give it plenty to brag about on the street. A leather interior and 320-watt, seven-speaker Infinity(R) audio system make Prowler the perfect boulevard cruiser.
Prowler also embodies some of the most advanced technology and materials and has the distinction of being North America's most aluminum-intensive vehicle. It was only a few years ago that the idea of mass producing a factory hot rod seemed too radical a concept for any major automaker to undertake. Since then, however, the roadster has cruised into the hearts and garages of passionate automotive enthusiasts throughout North America.
Prowler first appeared as a concept car at the 1993 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Favourable response prompted Chrysler to unveil a production version of Prowler at the 1996 North American International Auto Show. Official production for Prowler began in 1997 as a 1997 model. Prowler is manufactured by hand at Conner Avenue assembly plant in Detroit and is built alongside the Dodge Viper.
