DaimlerChrysler released this image for their upcoming retro-styled Dodge Challenger:
 Looks like something out of the old Interstate '76 computer game.

Serious stuff.
I'm a massive fan of the Challengers, especially the T/A 340 Six Pack. My DVD of the original Vanishing Point has had repeated watchings after 15 years looking for a bloody copy. Got Running on Empty as well. Anyway, could be a good Mustang fighter.

Yet another yank tank that may hit close to the mark for tough looks! 300C could learn a thing or two from this one, and even more from the Charger SRT8.

It's a pity ours is a relatively small market. I'd love to see what could be produced here if we had the numbers.

Love it. Only objection I have on the spy shots was the front grille needs to be a little larger. Sweet lines though.

Boy aren't Chrysler throwing the challenge to HSV and FPV?
I test drive a Chrysler 300c tomorrow, thinking of updating my company car. Might wait for that animal though before signing.

I doubt that one will make its way down here. Go for the SRT8.

Dodge won't use a GM powerplant. Dodge is part of Chrysler group.
It will be a Hemi engine no doubt .

Agreed .. that drawing looks great. But I have serious doubts any end-product will look like that. I'd have a sneaking suspicion that it will end up like the Charger .. something "modern". Remember these people aren't selling to die-hard muscle-car fans; they are selling to people with a bit of money who want something different. A lot of people who buy Chrysler 300s, Chargers, etc wouldn't have a clue, nor give a toss of their glorious past ..
Fingers crossed and hope it emerges "as-is" Rod |

Nice car Rod. A mate of mine had one just like it a few years back, same colour and all. It was a '69. What year's yours?
