Under the aforementioned plan to take advantage of the car market’s efficiency trend, Chrysler has recently filed a request to trademark the 200C name, as Noticiasautomotivas reports.

The 200C name is expected to be used for a future production version of the EV 200C concept car, that was presented at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. The vehicle should enter the market sometime in 2013. The car could share its platform with a future Lancia vehicle, using a hybrid powertrain.

Having partnered, forced by the circumstances, with Italian manufacturer Fiat last year, American manufacturer Chrysler saw itself forced to rethink its powertrain strategy and, in places, reverse it completely from how it looked prior to its bankruptcy.

In the eve of the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Chrysler reminded us its new approach in terms of powerplants. The stars of the new direction are, as announced ever since late 2009, the Fiat-sourced FIRE MultiAir engines.

“Chrysler Group will attain leadership by rapidly applying Fiat Powertrain technologies, such as Multiair, direct injection, turbocharging and transmission systems to its powertrain portfolio,” Paolo Ferrero, Senior Vice President, Chrysler Powertrain said in a release. “By 2014 calendar year, more than 80 percent of Chrysler Group’s current powertrain lineup will undergo a complete makeover.“

As you all know by now, American manufacturer Chrysler, under the watchful eye of Fiat’s Sergio Marchionne, will phase out its Viper sports car next year and will turn to the development of a replacement car sometimes in 2012. Until then, Chrysler released details of their last model year Viper, a SRT version which will see a production run of only 500 units.

According to Chrysler, this Viper will have no less than 7,600 possible appearance combinations, to make the car as unique as possible.

The 500 units will be made up of various special, limited-edition models, including Dodge Viper ACR 1:33 Edition (a tribute to the car which set a new lap record last month at the Laguna Seca raceway - only 33 units), and the Voodoo-edition Viper ACR with an all Black Clear Coat exterior and a Graphite Driver’s Stripe outlined in red (only 10 units). Chrysler will reveal details of each of the special editions closer to their release dates.
