About: Chrysler K platform

An Entity of Type: mean of transportation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The K-car platform was a key automotive design platform introduced by Chrysler Corporation for the 1981 model year, featuring a transverse engine, front-wheel drive, independent front and semi-independent rear suspension configuration—a stark departure from the company's previous reliance on solid axle, rear-drive unibody configurations during the 1970s. Derived from Chrysler's L-cars, the Plymouth Horizon and Dodge Omni, the platform was developed just as the company faltered in the market, at first underpinning a modest range of compact/mid-size sedans and wagons—and eventually underpinning nearly fifty different models, including all-wheel drive variants—and playing a vital role in the company's subsequent resurgence.

  • Die Chrysler K-Cars waren eine Modellfamilie der US-amerikanischen Automobilhersteller Chrysler, Dodge und Plymouth, die auf der sogenannten K-Plattform mit Frontantrieb des Konzerns aufbauten. Chryslers K-Plattform der 1980er-Jahre zählt zu den konsequentesten und vielseitigsten Baukastensystemen der Automobilgeschichte. Bis 1991 entwickelte Chrysler immer neue Ableitungen dieser Konstruktion. Die Verkaufserfolge der K-Plattform und ihrer Abwandlungen waren wesentlich für das Überleben des wirtschaftlich angeschlagenen Chrysler-Konzerns verantwortlich. (de)
