Dodge Challenger

The return of the Dodge Challenger brings what car fanatics crave - performance, unmistakable design cues reminiscent of the original Challenger, top ride and handling characteristics and benchmark braking. On top of that it features a wide variety of modern amenities and technology designed to delight a new generation of driving enthusiasts.
Developed by Chrysler's in house performance engineering organisation, the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 was engineered with a focus on the five pillars of every SRT vehicle: bold exterior design that resonates with the brand image, a race inspired interior, world class ride and handling across a dynamic range, a standout power train and benchmark braking.
Dodge will offer the limited edition 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 in three colours: Hemi Orange, Bright Silver metallic and Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl coat. Each two door, rear-wheel drive coupe will be produced with a numbered dash plaque, carbon fibre like hood stripes and will be powered by SRT's 6.1-litre Hemi V8 engine.
Performance targets for the new Challenger SRT8 include a 0-60 mph time in the low 5-second range, a 1⁄4-mile elapsed time of less than 13.5 seconds, 100-0 kmh braking distance of approximately 30.4 metres. The five passenger Challenger SRT8 captures the emotion of the original two door, rear-wheel drive Challenger, but with an updated twist.
The Challenger SRT8 offers exterior styling cues that are unmistakably Dodge. Exterior proportions evoke a bold, recognisable vehicle that has a wide, stable stance on the road. A full width grille and fog lamps reminiscent of the original Challenger are married to the modern "Dodge attitude." The result is an aggressive face that is unmistakably a muscle car.
