  • Sergio Marchionne’s Dodge Challenger SRT8 for auction

    Sergio Marchionne’s Dodge Challenger SRT8 will be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach, Florida.

    The specially customized muscle car boasts a Pitch Black paint with Dark Charcoal racing stripes and a sports exhaust system. Other highlights include an adjustable coil-over suspension, tinted taillights and matte black 20” alloy wheels fitted with low-profile tires.

    The interior comes with slight changes. There are  bespoke leather sport seats and a vehicle information center that provides: 0-60 mph time, 60-0 mph braking time and length, 1/8 mile run and ¼ mile run times along with various G-force measurements.

    The engine is a 6.4 liter HEMI V8 with 470HP (350 kW) and 636Nm (470 lb-ft) of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox sending all that power to the rear wheels. There is also an LSD (limited slip differential) for maximum traction and… fun. 0-100 km/h in around 4 seconds.

    “It gives me great pleasure to thank Sergio Marchionne and Chrysler Group for their commitment to Detroit and its surrounding communities,” said Michael J. Brennan, President and CEO of United Way for Southeastern Michigan.

    “Through the generous support of those who open their hearts and wallets during the Barrett-Jackson auction, United Way can capitalize on the ability to accelerate the impact of its work in three interconnected areas: education, income and basic needs.”, he added.

  • D2Forged Dodge Challenger SRT8 Generates 880 Horsepower

    D2Forged-Dodge-Challenger-SRT8-THUMBD2Forged Dodge Challenger SRT8 is the latest and probably the coolest transformation by the tuning specialist from D2Forged Wheels. And the reason for this is maybe because it is done on exactly one of the most famous muscle cars – the Challenger SRT8.

    Originally this factory Dodge model produces not more than 701 horsepower (515 kW). However, the professionals form this tuning company done their magic and thanks to it the vehicle now generates the almost incomprehensible 880 horsepower (647 kW).

    The fire breathing monster got the following additional builds: RT8 426 C.I.D. Motor, Southern Hot Rod transmission, pro-torque Converter, 9″ Ford rear conversion locking diff, stainless works headers and full exhaust system, F1A procharger and at last – full Eibach Race Suspension.

    The next step which rounded off the appearance of this mighty car was to equip it with the 20/22″ D2Forged FMS-01 package. Their classic mesh design, bathed in brushed aluminum and chrome finishing matched perfectly and contrasted the bright orange paint of the car.
