FactDodge replaced every Intrepid engine with new all-aluminum V6s for 1998, built at its own Mack Avenue foundry.
The LH cars were redesigned for the 1998 model year, the Intrepid designed by Robert Boniface and built in Brampton, Ontario, from September 1997 to August 2003. New all-aluminium engines replaced the old ones: a 200 hp DOHC 2.7 litre V6 for base models and a 225 hp SOHC 3.2 litre V6 for the ES. A top R/T model arrived for 1999 with a redesigned 3.5 litre V6 of 242 hp, which also went into the ES at 234 hp. All had a four-speed automatic and front-wheel drive.

Dodge replaced every Intrepid engine with new all-aluminum V6s for 1998, built at its own Mack Avenue foundry.
The Intrepid was one of the original 1993 Chrysler 'cab-forward' LH-platform sedans designed with the front wheels pushed toward the front bumper to maximize interior space.
Every Intrepid came with dual airbags and a four-speed automatic in 1993, when both were still rare on mainstream sedans.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
