2008 dodge challenger srt8 official images

The Challenger SRT8 will be officially unveiled in just a few days at the Chicago Auto Show. But here are the first official images leacked on the internet before the event. The SRT8 is the fourth and final installation of the LX-platform that birthed the 300C, Magnum and Charger.

The SRT8 will be powered by a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 engine that delivers 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. The Challenger should run from 0 to 60 mph in the low five-second range, and likely somewhere in the 13-second bracket during quarter-mile burns.

Overall, exterior design cues remain faithful to the concept car, with some alterations. Dodge’s modern-day cross-hair grille is gone in homage to the original Challenger, rather than remaining as a concession to marketing-driven design cohesiveness. The car’s proportions appear bulkier than the concept’s, but Dodge’s final LX creation stands out as best-in-family.
