(from SMS Press Release) STEVE SALEEN UNVEILS THE SMS 570 CHALLENGER AT ORANGE COUNTY NIGHTCLUB “TENTATION”
First product offering from SMS Supercars
Jan 21, 2009 - Orange
County, California. Late last Friday night, automotive icon Steve
Saleen and his new company SMS Supercars launched the production
version of the SMS 570 Challenger to media and customers. The
lifestyle unveiling at “Tentation” nightclub in Newport Beach proved
to be the perfect venue for the automotive enthusiast audience. “We
have an exciting new vehicle and wanted to
shake up the old standard introduction at an auto show” explains
Steve Saleen.
After its late night
launch the SMS 570 Challenger began its lengthy tour to numerous US
destinations
and Dodge dealerships. First stop last weekend was the
Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ,
where it was on display for attendees to admire.
“Scottsdale was just a
stopover en route to the NADA Convention in New Orleans”, notes
Steve, “I will present the car to Dodge dealers at the convention
January 24-27”. The car will then continue on to a
number of locations in the South East where it will be shown to
customers and dealers. A US press tour with both production models
will follow at the end of the first quarter of 2009.
The 500 HP SMS 570 Challenger and the 700 HP SMS 570 X Challenger can be ordered through all Dodge dealers at this time. In addition to the patented SMS Supercharger atop the ultra high-performance engine, both production models feature completely revised aesthetics, aerodynamics and performance features including; SMS Series 4 suspension and high performance cross drilled brakes with six pistons up front and four pistons at the rear. The interior features the SMS Signature Series chevron seats with deep bolsters, rich leather and Alcantara suede for high-performance comfort. Aerodynamic features include a front fascia with high volume radiator intake, a “GTX” inspired front grille, a high downforce front splitter with intercooler ducting, side skirts with rear brake ducting, a vented rear fascia with an extended blackout taillight surround, a high downforce rear diffuser and rear spoiler, as well as Steve Saleen’s new signature SMS Red ButterflyTM Dual Side Induction Hood. SMS 570 Challenger pricing starts at $64,870.00.
