That is rather lovely, I'm not a great fan of the retro styled yank cars, but I would say that does justice to the gorgeous old Challengers. What's the performance like of this latest one? Do we have reason to believe that it's supercharged? ![](/inc/images/wink.gif)

Normally aspirated for now, the initial engine offered will be a 5.7L Hemi, then when the SRT/8 version comes out it will have a 6.1L Hemi.
The 6.1L performance is supposed to be around 4.5 seconds 0-60, 13 second 1/4 mile with a top speed of 174 MPH from 425 HP.

i really,really,really want one of these...please...in RHD....!
Let's think about that. Import VEL is £175 a year as no CO2 figure is available. RHD on an import is £300 soon to be £400....and probably more in future. I think I'll take mine LHD and no official imports thanks.

for the £18.75 per month (difference) i'll take RHD - it'll cost you more in fuel to keep moving out to the white line and back everytime to see if its safe to overtake!

My apologies if seen before but this was my daily driver in the distant past.
Front suspension was torsion bars, so to lower was a ten minute job, although as seen here I slammed it purely for the photo.
Engine was 440 c. i. , brakes were drums all round , transmission was torqueflite with a high stall converter, headers and a " Mike the Pipe " straight through exhaust made any trip a Nascar tibute.
I part exchanged this for a 1972 454 manual Corvette.
