Dodge Challenger Shakedown: A Beautiful And Powerful Frankenstein
Like a Frankenstein it was, the Dodge Challenger Shakedown Concept presented at SEMA in Las Vegas with the intent to discover what ancient and modern components can coexist today. The guys at Mopar have developed a series of pieces that will allow the current Dodge Challenger to resemble its counterpart in 1971 and successfully created a beautiful and powerful monster.
The changes are obvious, according to Jalopnik. The front and rear lights, air intake hood, removing the door handles and the instrument panel, with its traditional single aspect and six back-lit areas. With these small changes work the miracle is achieved, but there is more. To give it a more aggressive look, Dodge has reduced the suspension, the front axle mounted 19-inch wheels, while the rear raises the figure to 20. As for the engine, we are talking about a V8 with 485 horses and bred to which a gearbox six-speed automatic is associated.
