  • Forza Horizon 2 now with Furious 7 Car Pack [VIDEO]

    Forza Horizon 2: Furious 7 Car PackRemember when we told you the story behind the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T from Furious 7? Well, the great news for today is that you are actually given the chance to drive it. At least virtually, since the car has made its debut in Forza Horizon 2, the strenuous Xbox One game. The other good news is that it is actually part of Furious 7 Car Pack, which features lineup of eight fantastic vehicles, appearing in the latest series.

    All of the cars have been authentically recreated, and in fact they also include details never seen before in a Forza game. Take for instance the awesome functioning blower in the Charger R/T. There is also a month’s free car, which in this case is the 1998 Toyota Supra.

    So, let’s start with the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Fast & Furious Edition. It is said that this car offers the best way to live your life a quarter-mile at a time. It is driven by a 426 Hemi engine, pumping out 425 horses (313 kW). It also comes equipped with coil-over race suspension, 18-inch wheels coupled with wide tires and huge disc brakes. There is also a fully functioning supercharger and street blower scoop making a hole in the hood. The result is more than impressive and it is 900 hp (662 kW).

    Next is the 1970 Plymouth Cuda with 600 horsepower, coming from the same as Charger’s engine. It is characterized by bold colors, muscular fenders and a lot of Mopar features.

    2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is also featured in the car pack. The very cool thing about it is that it is bulletproof and extremely modified throughout. Surprisingly, its power comes from a turbo-diesel motor.

    If you want to see something more luxurious in the pack, you have it! Greet the 2014 Maserati Ghibli S Fast & Furious Edition, which in the movie is driven by the Jason Statham’s character. Under its hood, one finds the twin-turbo V6 pumping out more than 400 horsepower (294 kW).

    Number five is a position reserved for the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner. Interesting fact about this car is that it was the choice of bootleggers and street racers back in the 70s, because it was faster than most police cars. Perfect ride, isn’t it?

    We can’t skip the latest 2015 Dodge Charger R/T, which is also featured in both the movie and the game. This American muscle car was driven by Dom, features Mopar tweaks and packs 370 horses (272 kW).

    Another Dodge, this time the Challenger, will also help you battle your competitors in the game. Its bulging fenders, long hood, and short deck are something that stays lasting in our mind. We also saw a captivating ad campaign, featuring this model.

    At last, the month’s free car is 1998 Toyota Supra, which back in the days was the king of Japanese sports cars. This particular model is powered by the famous 2JZ engine. The unit is highly tunable and is preferred among tuning enthusiasts.

    The pack is already available and can be purchased for only $5 USD. And I have already done this good thing. Can you guess what I’m going to do next?

  • 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Recognized with ALG Residual Value Award

    The fancy 2015 Dodge Charger R/T has been praised with the prestigious Residual Value Award in the Fullsize Car category from ALG, the industry benchmark for residual values and depreciation data. This is really important for the automaker because that’s the Charger’s first Residual Value Award in the category mentioned above. The annual ALG Residual Value Awards acknowledge only vehicles that are stated to be able to maintain the highest percentage of their initial price after a conventional three-year period.

    Over the years Dodge Charger has gained and preserved a position among the top vehicles which have continuingly been in the buyers’ spectrum of interest. It is also considered to prompt the development and the progression of the segment even further on.

    That muscular persona is supported by Chrysler’s 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine that produces 370 hp (272 kW) and 535 Nm (395 lb-ft) of torque in R/T and R/T Road & Track models. The base engine continues to be the award-winning 3.6-liter V-6 that generates 292 horsepower (218 kW) at 6,350 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. (353 Nm) of torque at 4,800 rpm, and is rated at 31 mpg.

    The award from ALG is, on the one hand, a signifier of how well the Charger manages to keep its value and, on the other hand, it honors the improvements that have been made on the 2015 models. Such improvements, of course, include a new attractive exterior, a standard new state-of-the-art eight-speed automatic transmission and several new models, such as the all-new powerful 707 horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.
