A Hemi V8 was no challenge for our photographer, as he was still able to snag a great shot of the upcoming
Dodge Challenger on a fast-moving highway. And even though the pre-production Challenger was wearing a bit of vinyl - one can easily tell that the production model is nearly identical to the concept shown on the auto show circuit.
Dodge's all-new muscle car will be built on the new "LY" RWD platform in Ontario. Production will start in the spring of 2008 - and the Challenger will go on sale shortly afterwards as a 2008 model. Pricing is expected to start around $31,000, although it's rumored that the R/T models have all been pre-sold in the 50K range. A convertible is also expected to arrive in the not-so-distant future.The official debut of the (production) Challenger will be on February 6th at the Chicago Auto Show - just 222 days away.
