We all know that DCX wanted to bring this by 2009. Now will DCX bring this? It looks production ready. Hmmmm!
To all those purists who still can’t forgive Dodge for building a four-door Charger, here’s your answer: the 2006 Dodge Challenger concept. The Dodge boys released a sketch of the car to the world, but we obtained these exclusive spy photos of the car, which will premiere at the North American International Auto Show in January in Detroit.
Challenger draws on the 1970 model as the icon of the series, says Tom Tremont of Chrysler’s Pacifica studio in California. But instead of merely recreating that car, designers tried to build the Challenger most people see in their mind’s eye, without imperfections like the tucked under wheels and long front overhang of the old car. At the same time, the concept incorporates distinctive Challenger cues like the rear fender kick, wide mouth front end, functional hood scoops and rectangular exhaust tips.
Built on a shortened Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger chassis (116-inch wheelbase vs. 120 inches), the Challenger gets a 6.1-liter Hemi hooked to a six-speed manual transmission with a pistol grip shifter.
All that’s left to ponder is “will they build it?” With all the hardware in place and a primed marketplace, we can’t see why Dodge wouldn’t rise to this challenge.

Very look, I like that. Any info on whats under the hood?
no camaro + mustang = challenger = heavy consideration for a car i would buy
ive always liked the old challengers
it'll be interesting to see what GM does with it's camaro concept. i think it's supposed to be at the same show that this one is going to premeir at. (if GM sticks to what it said)

the only six speed they have that could handle that is the vipers

That looks badass!!!!!! On a side note if GM brings back that concept camaro (the green and black one) I might have two car payments every month.

Fo Sho. Looks very much like a 70-71 challenger. Even down the burnt orange color.
That looks wicked, I'm gonna start saving money now....
WOW! if this thing has any sort of guts to it, i will buy this instead of the evo i am planning on getting.
By the time this is released I will be in the market for a new car I really hope it comes out and below 40K. All the dodge car's are so damn expensive.
