If you are among the lucky ones who get to make a reservation for a ticket to the outrageous premiere, then you have already enjoyed all those action scenes, beautiful muscle cars and tension involved. Not to mention that this film is actually the last one of the legendary Paul Walker … and this makes everything even more emotional.

Especially for those who have seen the film, and even for those who haven’t or are on the ticket queue, we’ve found this video on YouTube that gives us more hints on not one but two of the cars from the Furious 7. Don’t worry, no spoilers are included.

The short film below invites us into Dennis McCarthy’s shop in southern California. This is where we have the opportunity to check out those two special cars. As interesting as it actually is, Dennis has a dream job. He has been created and coordinating the vehicles for the Fast and Furious series since Tokyo Drift, which he admits was the biggest step in his career.

What you are going to see below is the custom Charger driven by Dom, Vin Diesel’s personage. And it seems that this is not only our personal most favorite car I the film, but also McCarthy’s. The other car we will keep in secret in order to keep the surprise intact. Check it out:

See Dodge Challenger in ‘Furious 7’ [VIDEO]

It is not “Fast and Furious” without a Dodge! Since the awaited premiere of ‘Furious 7‘ happens on 3^th of April, everyone is getting really exciting. This time Dodge will participate in the movie with three exceptional vehicles: 2015 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger R/T and an ‘armored’ Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The first one is candy red (literally) and will be driven by ladies favorite Dom Toretto, played by the actor Vin Diesel, who will drive it through various chasing scenes. And we sincerely hope that the car will remain intact.

Letty Ortiz, the character played by Michelle Rodrigues, will be the driver of the Sublime Green and Black Challenger R/T, just like the one you can see in the promotional and very funny video below. At last, the Wrangler will be driven by Tej Parker (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges). And if you want to be revealed a secret a little bit earlier, he will play very important role in the film.

Another interesting fact is that the company has provided almost 30 vehicles for the production of the movie, so this raises our excitement even more. What you can watch below is the “Flash to the Future” advertisement. In it a customer walks in Dodge’s dealership and sits comfortably in Challenger R/T.

Suddenly something very strange happens and he gets lost in his imagination fantasizing about “Furious 7” world. What happens when he comes back to reality you should see for yourself. Can’s wait till April the third, can you?

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.

Chrysler Group and Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ announced at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today the next level in their bold new partnership. It will bring about the studio quality sound experience of Beats™ Audio into the new 2012 Dodge Charger. The goal is to integrate a recording-studio quality audio experience for everyone who wants to feel and hear their favorite music as it was intended. In addition the project will debut at the same time at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where audiophiles will be able to experience for the first time demonstrations of the Beats by Dr. Dre audio system. The two companies have worked together in order to design and tune the 10-speaker audio system. Thus the effect is a unique combination of high performance car and a high performance audio experience.
Chrysler Group is the first automaker which has integrated the Beats by Dr. Dre audio system in its vehicles. It was firstly introduced less than a year ago at the 2011 New York International Auto Show. The system currently is standard with the 2012 Chrysler 300S and available as an audio upgrade in additional Chrysler 300 models. Now the Beats Audio system will also be standard equipment on the new 2012 Dodge Charger R/T Max and included with the Blacktop Package or Rallye Appearance Group on Dodge Charger SXT models. The Beats Audio system is also included with the Sound Group and Wheels and Tunes Group on Dodge Charger R/T models.

But let’s look up into the details of the vehicle and the audio system included. First of all there is featured state-of-the-art Uconnect^® Touch 8.4, which provides 2012 Dodge Charger passengers with the segment’s largest touchscreen display (8.4-inch), and next-generation mobile connectivity, convenience and multimedia features. Moreover the Uconnect Touch also controls the 12-channel amplifier that integrates the heart of the Beats proprietary equalizer algorithm, creating the high-definition sound Beats Audio founders Dr. Dre, and Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. Next to be highlighted is that the integration of Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ audio system delivers the mid- to high-range needed for studio-quality sound. The system includes three 3.5-inch speakers located in the instrument panel, two 3.5-inch speakers located in the rear doors, two 6 x 9-inch front-door woofers provide bass, two 6 x 9-inch speakers and a center-mounted 8-inch speaker located in the rear-shelf area provide full-range audio, maximizing how music genres from hip hop to Motown should sound and feel, an 8-inch Beats Audio trunk-mounted dual-voice coil subwoofer with sealed enclosure delivers tight, powerful, punchy bass.

With this unique system, the Dodge Charger will be even more appealing. However the vehicle provides the ultimate combination of dramatic Dodge heritage styling, award-winning premium interior, the reassurance of an IIHS Top Safety Pick and full-size spaciousness with the fuel efficiency of a mid-size car. The new feature for 2012 is a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission paired with the award-winning Pentastar V-6 engine, which delivers an impressive 292 horsepower (215 kW) and a best-in-class 31 miles per gallon (mpg) on the highway. In fact, that fuel economy not only surpasses any full-size V-6 sedan but any mid-size V-6 sedan, while offering all of the driving dynamics and distinctive style for which Charger is renowned. Moreover the new eight-speed transmission delivers the astonishing 15 percent increase in fuel economy and 10 percent improvement in acceleration! Additionally, new for 2012 are die-cast paddle shifters, available with the Pentastar V-6 and HEMI^® V-8 engines. Furthermore the Charger’s available legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with four-cylinder mode Fuel Saver Technology and variable valve timing delivers best-in-class power with 370 horsepower (272 kW) and 395 lb.-ft. (292 Nm) of torque. It has to be highlighted that the starting price is thousands of dollars less than the competition. In addition Charger’s all-wheel-drive system is the most advanced in its class, with segment exclusive active transfer case with front-axle disconnect to maximize fuel economy of up to 27 mpg highway while delivering outstanding performance and handling inherent to a rear-wheel drive car.

To sum up, Dodge Charger proudly delivers premium, world-class sedan precision at an incredible value, starting at a U.S. MSRP of only $25,495.

The 2012 Dodge Charger models powered by Beats by Dr. Dre audio system will arrive at Dodge dealerships in the U.S. in the first-quarter of 2012.
