ALL-NEW: DRIVE FOR DESIGN JR. GRADES K‑9.

PROJECT BRIEF

Design the
Future of Fast!

Create the next evolution of an SRT (Street & Racing Technology) vehicle. SRT is all about speed, power and attitude. It’s the kind of performance that looks fast even when it’s standing still. SRT isn’t just a logo, it’s a way of thinking big, bold and fearless.

Now it’s your turn. In this year’s Drive for Design contest, we want you to imagine what SRT could become in the future. Using any Stellantis-brand vehicle, create your own vision of the next-generation SRT. Go wild. Push the limits. Break the rules. Redefine what fast, powerful and awesome looks like for the next generation. What does the future of SRT look like to you?
