Furious Fucia
Two of the wildest and rarest 2010 Dodge Challenger models will soon be
available to Dodge fans and collectors to commemorate 40 years of Dodge
Challenger performance; the 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and Challenger
SRT8® Furious Fuchsia editions. With its Furious Fuchsia Pearl Coat
exterior paint and all-new Pearl White leather performance seats, these
limited-edition Dodge Challenger models deliver the best of modern American
muscle-car characteristics-unmistakable design, world-class handling, powerful
HEMI® V-8 engines and technology-now in one of the most significant
hues.
"Commemorating four decades of Challenger performance, the new R/T
Classic and SRT8 Furious Fuchsia editions modernize one of the most memorable
hues from 1970 to create a modern muscle-car that exudes more performance,
passion and even more nostalgia," said Ralph Gilles, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Dodge Car Brand and Senior Vice President-Product Design,
Chrysler Group LLC. "As an ode to our Dodge fans, these highly collectible
models feature all-new Pearl White leather performance seats with Furious
Fuchsia accents to deliver a customized, yet contemporary look to the
heritage-inspired interior. Sum it all up, and Dodge is delivering a muscle-car
tribute that no other manufacturer can even match."
Based on the powerful 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T, the Dodge
Challenger R/T Classic Furious Fuchsia edition features dual throwback A-line
body-side R/T stripes in Matte Black or Bright White. Completing the look are
"Challenger" fender badges in classic script, large 20-inch polished-aluminum
heritage wheels with all-season performance tires, classic egg-crate grille with
heritage "R/T" badge, body-color rear spoiler, functional hood scoop and bright
racing style fuel-filler door.
On the interior, the trapezoidal theme of
the door-panel and gauge cluster, dark headliner and slanted shifter console are
inspired by the original Dodge Challenger. Inspiration from the past continues
with exclusive Pearl White performance seats accented with Dark Slate Gray and
Furious Fuchsia French-seamed stitching as a factory-installed option. Monotone
Dark Slate Gray leather performance seats and center console armrest with
Furious Fuchsia accent stitching are standard.
When paired with the
Tremec six-speed manual transmission, the 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic
Furious Fuchsia edition includes the performance-minded Track Pak with
precision-shift "pistol-grip" shifter, anti-spin 3.92 differential and a
performance-tuned dual exhaust with two low-restriction bottle resonators for
maximum "throatiness." And when it's time to deliver, the Furious Fuchsia R/T
Classic can accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than six seconds with its powerful
376 horsepower (280 kW) and 410 lb.-ft. of torque (556 N?m) 5.7-liter HEMI V-8
engine.
If the tire-smoking Furious Fuchsia R/T Classic is not exciting enough, the
400 ultra-exclusive 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 versions delivers even more punch
with a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine-with engine block lacquered in original HEMI
Orange paint-producing 425 horsepower (317 kW) and 420 lb.-ft. (569 N?m) of
torque, performance-tuned ride and handling, benchmark braking and race-inspired
interior with unique SRT-designed appointments.
The limited-production
Dodge Challenger SRT8 in Furious Fuchsia is based on the 2010 Dodge Challenger
SRT8 and features several standard equipment upgrades, including all-new Pearl
White leather SRT performance seats with Furious Fuchsia accented stripe, unique
20-inch SRT forged-aluminum wheels with Satin Black accents, serialized dash
plaque indicating the limited production series of 400 and retro-inspired
chromed quad-exhaust tips.
Production
of the all-new 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and SRT8 in limited-production
Furious Fuchsia Pearl Coat will start in May 2010 at the Brampton Assembly plant
in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. These special-edition coupes will be built on the
same assembly line as the award-winning and quality-proven Dodge Charger and
Dodge Charger SRT8 sedans.
The 2010 Dodge Challenger merges the best American
muscle-car characteristics-unmistakable design, world-class handling, powerful
engines and technology-to delight driving enthusiasts across several
generations. The Dodge Challenger is produced on the company's proven
rear-wheel-drive platform to accommodates five passengers with best-in-class
rear head and leg room, along with best-in-class cargo space equal to the Dodge
Charger.
With three models of head-turning styling, two legendary HEMI
V-8 engine choices, up to 25 highway miles per gallon (mpg), more than 25 safety
and security features and modern amenities, including Media Center 730N with
voice-activated Uconnect? Navigation system and real-time traffic available,
it's no surprise Dodge Challenger was awarded J.D. Power and Associates "Most
Appealing Midsize Sporty Car" in its 2009 APEAL Study.
