Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to New York Auto Show

[Mook]

The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.

As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."

As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.

Whatever Dodge brings out in NYC, we can promise that we'll be on hand to bring you all the details.

I really like the look of the current challenger, if only they could drop 700 pounds off of it and put about another 100 HP into it.

 

[willizm]

The challenger is definitely the best looking of the three modern muscle/pony type cars.

 

[Mook]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, its in need of a refresher. a serious one. its looking mighty dated.

 

[VenomousDSG]

The charger is the one that needs a good reboot, that thing looks like crap IMO. Looks like a chrysler 300 with a little more lines on it.

 

[Mook]

They both do.

 

[VenomousDSG]

If they'd make them all look something like this, i doubt many people would be complaining.

So the current style with bullet rims?

 

[VenomousDSG]

Link was busted, fixed.

They need to add shakers on some of them, and get rid of the stripes and crap. Little lower ride height, little more power, and lose at least a few hundred pounds.

 

[VenomousDSG]

Current style hasn't been around for more than what, 6 years? I'd let it be for at least a few more.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

I'll bet it gets the 1000 LED treatment in the back like all the other dodges.

 

[radioguy6]

hopefully the challenger went on a good diet

 

[syP]

still gonna be a turd

 

[RICH17]

Charger needs more third pedal

 

[Ear Rak]

I want to see a 2 door charge that actually looks reminiscent of the original.

 

[SRT41320]

i like them all for different reasons... but I agree they could all use a refresh... the 8speed is going to be an awesome upgrade!

 

[RICH17]

Supposed sneak peek of one of the two....

 

[SRT41320]

Wtf... Looks like the front of the Durango?

 

[RICH17]

Was thinking the same thing

The gauge cluster looks cool...

 

[Mook]

[RICH17]
