Mopar '10 Challenger Official Video

Two days ago, Chrysler introduced a new entry in its history book, releasing the first-ever special edition Mopar version of one of its cars. The targeted vehicle is the 2010 Dodge Challenger.

However, the company had only released a sketch (albeit pretty detailed) of the custom muscle car. But now, we are granted with a video showing the Mopar ‘10 Challenger in all it’s 5.7 liter V8 glory. The footage also shows Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of the Mopar brand (Chrysler’s parts division), Mark Trostle, Chief of the Dodge’s Exterior Design department, and Dan Zimmermann, Head of Dodge Interior Design and Mopar Interiors talking about the special vehicle.

We’ll remind you that only 500 units of the bespoke muscle car will be built, with each having a starting price of $38,000. The vehicles will hit Dodge dealerships next month, but pre-orders are already opened.

Under the hood, which uses a special venting system, you’ll find a 5.7 liter Hemi V8 engine that features a cold air intake. The engine can use a six speed manual transmission or a five speed auto 'box.

The car’s handling has also been improved, as the vehicle has been fitted with a front strut-tower brace with shock caps and a rear strut tower brace.

The Mopar ‘10 Challenger can only be ordered in Brilliant Black, but clients can choose between three accent colors: Mopar Blue, Red or Silver. The car is packed with Mopar interior and exterior goodies.

Every car will be delivered with a special owner kit that includes a certificate with the VIN, date of build completion and build number. The kit also comes with a sketch of the car signed by Mark Trostle, a book that highlights the special vehicle build and Mopar accessories.
