We seriously doubt that anyone will disagree with us when we say that the most intriguing vehicle on Dodge's SEMA show stand in Las Vegas will be the Challenger SRT10 Concept car. As you might have already guessed by now, the SRT10 has borrowed the Viper's 8.4-liter all-aluminum V10 engine that pumps out 600 horsepower and 560 lb. ft. of torque. The 'halo' concept car features a new coat of vibrant Tornado Red paint with a carbon-fiber deck lid and a functional shaker hood inspired from the 1970s HEMI Cuda. -Continued Well, now that Dodge convinced us that they can stick a massive V10 engine under the Challenger's bonnet, it would be rather nice if they could also prove to us that they can actually put it into production - even limited, we don't mind. We'll start saving from now.
To compensate for the extra power, the company's engineers upgraded the braking system and added Bilstein shocks at all four corners to improve handling balance. The Challenger SRT10's interior has been enhanced with a set of sport seats and carbon-fiber trim accents throughout as well as a red engine start push-button in the dash.
