The American tuning house Hurst Performance Vehicles has been around since beginning of the muscle car days. Which means that they have put over 40 years of high performance technology into the Series 4 Supercharged 2010 Hurst/Hemi Challenger, dressed in the company’s signature silver and black paint scheme. It was the venerable Doc Watson who first introduced the original silver and black Hurst/Olds in 1968, a signature model that went on to be the most famous Hurst specialty vehicle of all time. So it was no surprise when Doc said that "I am proud to be part of the continuation of a great Hurst tradition…these wonderful vehicles should prove to be some of the most collectible Hurst cars in the future."

Aside from the two tone getup, this Challenger features red accent stripes on the outside and accented details throughout the interior. One thing that sets Hurst apart from other aftermarket tuners is their attention to detail, unlike the factory cars, Hurst cars wear painted stripes and graphics smoothed out under a clear coat, not stickers. However Hurst is offering more than just an appearance package, under the hood, the 6.2 Liter Hemi sucks in cold air through a K&N air filter before it gets compressed by a Hurst/Vortec supercharger and then spit out the back through a Hurst/Magnaflow polished stainless steel cat-back exhaust system. This combination is good for a total of 572 HP and 528 lb-ft of torque, over 150 HP more than the factory V8 produces.

Continued with press release and specs after the jump.

The Hurst/Hemi Challenger wears a set of 20 inch polished aluminum signature Hurst forged wheels, the five spoke rims feature graphite gray insets wrapped in a set of sticky BF Goodrich KDW Performance Tires. Hidden behind these beautiful rollers is a high performance Hurst/Eibach suspension complete with upgraded shocks and sway bars. On the inside the modified Mopar receives Hurst/Katzkin leather upholstery complete with perforated red inserts and Hurst embroidered emblems on the seatbacks. Each special edition Challenger contains traditional Hurst red and black logos in the dash badge, grille badge, wheel centers, fender graphics and the embroidered floor mats. Of course no Hurst would be complete with one of their aftermarket high performance shifters and this car is no different with its wild red anodized Hard Drive pistol grip shifter.
