Essential Styling
The Dodge Challenger
design team stayed true to the concept revealed at the 2006 North
American International Auto Show, while drawing upon elements from
the original Challenger. The result: a bold, aggressive muscle
machine that blends nostalgia with modern Dodge style.
Our designers wanted to capture the minds-eye view of what people
today remember about the Dodge Challenger from 35 years ago, said
Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President Design, Chrysler LLC. Their
challenge was to excite todays customer by capturing the emotion of
the original Challenger, while offering todays comfort and
performance.
On the exterior, the long, raised performance hood with scoops and
recessed grille with round dual headlamps are reminiscent of the
original Dodge Challenger. The bold A-line, or character line, that
runs from stem to stern gives the all-new 2009 Dodge Challenger an
instantly recognizable muscle-car profile. Retro dual rectangular
exhaust outlets complete the look from the rear.
On the interior, the trapezoidal theme of the door-panel cove and
gauge cluster, dark headliner and slanted shifter console are
inspired by the original Dodge Challenger. The modern interpretation
of the Dodge Challenger offers exceptional rear seating for a
two-door coupe, achieving best-in-class rear head (37.4 inches) and
leg (32.6 inches) room compared to the competition. Coupled with
best-in-class cargo space (16.2 cu. ft.) equal to the Dodge
Charger the all-new 2009 Dodge Challenger offers added comfort and
functionality.
