Dodge Challenger Concept Car.1.

The Dodge Challenger Concept car features a 425 horsepower 6.1L Hemi, capable of propelling the car to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, and through the quarter mile in 13. Top speed is 174 mph. “Challenger draws upon the initial 1970 model as the icon of the series,” said Tom Tremont, Vice-President of Advanced Vehicle Design at Dodge. “The 1970 model is the most sought after by collectors. But instead of merely recreating that car, the designers endeavored to build a Challenger most people see in their mind’s eye-a vehicle without the imperfections like the old car’s tucked-under wheels, long front overhang and imperfect fits,” he said. “As with all pleasurable memories, you remember the good and screen out the bad.”

“We wanted the concept car to evoke all those sweet memories,” Tremont said.

Getting the right proportions was critical, according to Micheal Castiglione, principal exterior designer. The Challenger concept sits on a 116-inch wheelbase, 6-inches longer than the original. But its width is 2-inches greater, giving the car a more aggressive stance. Thanks to its increased cabin length, the new Challenger is a true four-seater with plenty of rear room, according to the carmaker.

“We wanted to stay pure,” said Castiglione, “with simple, minimal line work, but with everything just right.”
