National Geographic has a series called Ultimate Factories, and in this 2011 episode they took a close look at the Brampton, Ontario plant where the Dodge Challenger is built, along with the Saltillo, Mexico plant where the Hemi is built. The Challenger, which shares the line with the Charger and 300, takes just 20 hours to go from raw steel to a running, driving Mopar. Watch the entire process in the 45 minute episode after the jump!
This 2010 Dodge Challenger is downright evil with a supercharged 426 Hemi stroker kit and over $55,000 invested in upgrades. Seller claims 1,043 horsepower. Yours for just $69,999! More pics plus specs after the jump! Via Denver Craiglist
Great turnout from the late model Challenger crowd. Which is your favorite color? More pics after the jump!
This will be the seventh season of the Top Eliminator program, which honers the best Mopar restorers and modifiers. A total of four winners will be selected in 2013. Two winners will be chosen from competitions at Mopars in the Park and the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. A third will will be picked from drag cars at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis. And this is super cool: a fourth will be chosen online. Builders can upload pics of their Mopars and people will vote to determine the winner. More details at Chyrsler.com
Below is the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 owned by Tom Ledoux of Pearland, Texas which won last year.
After that awesome Defiance preview last week I thought we’d take a closer look at the Defiance Charger. Dodge has worked with SyFy in the past–on shows like Ghost Hunters and 31 Days of Halloween–so they were first in line for this integrated video game/tv series, which was under development for five years. Dodge was very involved in the design process and approved all renderings before the final car was built. I think it looks great with power bulge and rust, and of course Chargers look great with push bars so they are a no brainer for a post-apocalyptic badass look. Under those visual mods is a relatively stock 2013 Charger. More pics after the jump! Via Jalopnik and Allpar
Allpar has some interesting stuff on the 2015 Dodge Charger. They are currently expecting a mild refresh for 2015 to carry over until the big RWD Chrysler cars are completely redesigned (somewhere in the 2017 to 2020 range). Right now they are expecting a 6.2 liter Hemi pushing around 580 horsepower, updated electronics such as UConnect 2, Via Mobile and parking aids, eight-speed trannies for all motors (not just the V6 cans) and perhaps some suspension tuning. The rendering below shows some influence by the Maserati Ghibli. You can read more at Allpar
