Sprintex Limited (ASX: SIX) has released two new Automotive supercharger systems with US$80,000 (approx. A$123,000) of new orders secured.

Highlights

  • Automotive supercharger system range increases
  • Systems to suit Subaru BRZ, Toyota GR86, Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger and Charger models
  • Sprintex first to launch system for new generation 2 Toyota GR86/ Subaru BRZ platform
  • Successful appearance at SEMA, the world’s largest “Industry Only” automotive event
  • US$80,000 (A$123,000) new orders secured

Sprintex is the first of the mainstream aftermarket supercharger manufacturers to launch a system for the new generation 2 Toyota GR86/ Subaru BRZ platform introduced in 2022.

The systems were launched in the New Products Expo at the SEMA Show in the USA, which attracts some 130,000 industry visitors from more than 160 countries around the world, making it the world’s largest automotive event.

As successors to previously successful products for Toyota, Subaru and Chrysler, the new systems are applicable to 2022 and later Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 vehicles and Generation 2 of its previously successful systems to suit Dodge Challenger, Charger and Chrysler 300 vehicles produced from 2012 to 2022.

Complimenting existing Generation 2 systems to suit 2012 to 2022 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles launched in 2021 and 2022, Sprintex has added Dodge Challenger, Charger and Chrysler 300 vehicles to its advanced Generation 2 range for 3.6 Pentastar powered vehicles.

Introduction of the Generation 2 GR86 has re-ignited interest in this nimble sports car range, which is now produced in higher volumes that ever before, selling in most major markets around the world in both left and right-side drive versions.

During the event, the company received new orders from both newly appointed and existing distributors to the value of US$80,000, (approx. A$123,000) and registered interest from over 100 automotive companies that attended the SEMA Expo.

Sprintex as a company, continues to expand into the clean energy and industrial sectors with new ultra-high-speed e-compressors, but is also consolidating its position in the conventional ICE automotive industry, ensuring longer term profitability and relevance in multiple markets.

Introduction of the Generation 2 GR86 and BRZ has re-ignited interest in this nimble sports car range, which is now produced in higher volumes that ever before, selling in most major markets around the world in both left and right-side drive versions,” Sprintex managing director, Jay Upton, said.

“The ‘industry only’ SEMA event was up 22% on attendance over 2022 with the return of thousands of international buyers (following the Covid 19 pandemic), giving Sprintex exposure to buyers in an automotive aftermarket industry which continues to grow annually, exceeding US$58bn in 2023 in USA alone.”
