SUPER CHARGED


Along with the name, we also brought back the heritage that made Charger R/T a legend. This concept car advances four-door style into an entirely new dimension. True to the original muscle car form, Charger R/T, with its low, thrusting hood, has a powerful V8 matched with a five-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels. The front grille and lamps look menacing. The body is taut. The rear deck with spoiler, and the fascia with sly-looking taillamps and twin exhaust outlets, all signify a vigorous departure from the past. In true retro form, 1966 meets the millennium. One look at the radio knobs and three-spoke steering wheel will confirm that. The pistol-grip shift lever adds to the feeling.

Throughout this interior past and future, street and racing are balanced. Exposed metal is emphasized -- but the front and rear bucket seats are made of carbon fiber and have red leather accents. Because the Charger R/T is supercharged, the 4.7-liter SOHC, 16-valve, V8 engine has the kind of ferocity that results in 325 horsepower.

But Charger R/T is environmentally gentle -- its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel produces negligible emissions at the tail pipes.

That was a concept I believe from either 1999 or 2000, and while the charger is being rumored to return that sadly is not it...

The Charger has been mentioned alot in the press for quite a while. With the success of the 300 I think DC realizes the potential market for affordable RWD cars (especially with Hemis) is great in North America. The Charger would complement the 300/Magnum quite well, and would be a trendy retro-cool car. I think it's a good idea to bring back the Charger. The Crossfire is really not a relevant car to North America so there's a big gap between Dodge's performance cars (from the SRT-4 to the Viper) that the Charger, especially in SRT form with the 6.1L Hemi, would fill pretty nicely.
