The right paint can make the difference between a killer coupe and a boring executive car. Dodge has never shied away from bright tones, especially when it comes to HEMI cars. Last year, the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models got the Go Mango heritage exterior paint color and about half the customers ordered it.
By popular demand, this cool orange tone is now available on regular versions of the 2016 Dodge Challenger and Charger.

“We’ve seen a tremendous response from our customers after we announced the return of Go Mango at the 11th annual Spring Festival in California. In fact, nearly half of all SRT and Hellcat orders are for Go Mango,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands - Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and Fiat in North America. “To meet consumer demand, we plan to expand this modernized heritage color to the entire Charger and Challenger lineup later this spring.”

It looked a little paler back then, but Go Mango dates back to the 1970 Challenger, Dodge reminds us. More recently, it made a comeback as a limited edition tone for the Charger R/T Daytona models. A quick Google search will reveal that the 2016 Dodge Dart also comes with this orange hue.

The 2016 Dodge Charger SXT and Challenger SXT in Go Mango are on display at the 2016 New York International Auto Show. We'll have photos of them pretty soon. But for now, these press photos will have to do.

The carrot-like shade is the latest in the brand's long line of vibrant, throwback colors like Plum Crazy, which was brought back last year at the purple Woodward Dream Cruise. Sublime Green is also back, but Orange seems to fit the Dodge brothers better than anything else. Dealers can start to order the bright hue immediately with deliveries taking place later this spring. If you like to geek out over classic Mopar colors, now is a great time to do it!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
