Of marginal relevance to we long suffering right-hand drivers, Dodge
has announced a more affordable version of its shiny new Challenger
muscle car. Full speeds and feeds have yet to be divulged, but the
cheaper models will pack less powerful V6 and V8 lumps than the
flagship SRT8 model. And of course, pricing for the new pairing, known
as the Challenger SE and R/T respectively, will be well south of the
SRT8’s $40k sticker. Think mid-range Ford Focus money for a rear-drive
muscle machine and you probably won’t be far off…

It may be speculation based upon supposition. But it’s still an intriguing suggestion. Could the Dodge Challenger go on sale in 2008 for just $30,000? The information comes courtesy of a Chrysler promotion in the US known as the “Ask Dr Z” sweepstakes (the doctor in this case being the moustachioed Dr Dieter Zetsche of DaimlerChrysler). According to the fine print of the competition, the “approximate retail value” of one of the prizes, namely a 2008 Dodge Challenger R/T, is just $30,000…

The Dodge Challenger production car will be virtually identical to the concept car that was so rapturously received by punters and press alike at the Detroit show earlier this year. So says Chrysler bigwig Tom Tremont. “You’re not going to be able to tell the difference. We’re going to keep the Challenger as close as we can to the concept,” quoth he.

Chrysler Group President and CEO Tom LaSorda is the man on the trigger
with the official word on the Dodge Challenger concept: It’s go for
2008. LaSorda dropped this widely anticipated bomb at the Pepsi 400
NASCAR race at Daytona over the weekend. The last of the original
Challengers may have rolled off the production line way back in 1974,
but with punters apparently going potty for the Challenger show car, a
series production announcement was inevitable…

By US standards, the Caliber is little more than a slightly fancier-than-average econobox with crossover pretensions. It’s effectively Chrysler’s replacement for the competent but dreary Neon and starts at just $14,000 Stateside. But with 300bhp from a turboed-up 2.4-litre four, it’ll be interesting to see what impact the SRT-4 model will make when it arrives in the UK in early 2007.

Innovative the Dodge Challenger concept shown at Detroit most certainly was not. After all, producing shamelessly retro recreations of former favourites seems to be the only trick designers at America’s Big Three automakers have up their sleeves. But what the hell, it’s a great looking car. Will Chrysler build it?

Leaked images of the Dodge Challenger have been doing the rounds for several weeks. So, these first official pics simply confirm what was already known. The Challenger concept is a real looker. But it’s not the only show car based on the 300C chassis that DaimlerChrysler will be wheeling out at the Detroit show. The Chrysler Imperial concept will also be competing for attention from press and punters alike. And it’s not an unsubtle copy of the Rolls Royce Phantom. Umm-kay?
