Mopar '10 Dodge Challenger
Special edition Challengers have so far been unexciting (and neurasthenic) exercises in chromatic variation. Not so with the Mopar '10 Challenger, officially previewed today ahead of its August on-sale date. Only 500 of the special-edition cars will be built.
The Mopar '10 Challenger gets a slate of Mopar modifications, based around the 375-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI V-8-powered R/T model. Mopar modifications to the car's mechanicals include a cold air intake, vented hood, front and rear strut-tower braces, and a unique engine cover.
Borrowing a page from Henry Ford's book, you can get it in any color you like, as long as it's black. You can, however, spice it up with a choice of red, blue, or silver accent colors. Twenty-inch forged gloss black wheels, a black chrome grille surround, and numerous Mopar logos and graphics wrap up the package's exterior look. Inside, you get Katzkin leather seats, a leather-wrapped wheel, Mopar shift handles (pistol grip for manual 'boxes, T-grip for autos), and a plaque bearing the car's number.
Each owner will also get a special kit certifying the car's special status, plus a sketch of the car by design chief Mark Trostle, a book detailing the car's features, and a gift bag of Mopar '10 gear.
The car goes on sale this August with a starting price of $38,000 for automatics and $39,000 for manuals. Pre-ordering is open now, though, so if you've gotta have one of these Moparified Challengers, you'd better act quickly.
