2011 Dodge Charger

2011 Dodge Charger - Muscle Cars BlogDodge Brand Product Onslaught Continues: Introducing The All-new 2011 Dodge Charger, World-class Performance And Precision With An Iconic Soul

October 5, 2010 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – With its iconic character, contemporary fastback four-door coupe proportions, world-class performance, craftsmanship and refinement, and state-of-the-art connectivity features, the all-new 2011 Charger is the Dodge brand’s flagship that proudly delivers premium, world-class E-segment sedan precision at an incredible value.

The efficient and aerodynamic exterior of the 2011 Dodge Charger is spiritually inspired by the iconic second-generation Charger from the late 1960s, featuring a design that is sure to strike an emotional chord with Dodge performance enthusiasts of all generations.

With its sinister “ready to attack the road” face, the all-new Dodge Charger puts the world’s best E-segment sedan competitors between its new “split crosshair” signature grille. Its sculpted all-new body is a conscious nod to its deep heritage and muscle-car roots. The Charger’s profile is also a modern affair, a result of countless hours in the wind tunnel, from its lower hood line, faster windshield and radically raked back headlights to its tighter wheel openings, lower sill and race-car-like flat underbody, the Charger effortlessly cuts thought the air with its attitude intact. The aluminum hood features dual “scallops” that bring a sculptured, performance look to the front end, while large body-side scallops deliver a striking undulating A-line across the doors. Running front to rear is the iconic horizontal “coke bottle” or “double-diamond” body-side styling that creates a tapering silhouette accented with muscular front and rear fenders and gives the Dodge Charger one of the most distinct profiles on the road. Defining the fastback’s wide stance is an all-new signature taillamp design that incorporates 164 illuminating LEDs to form its signature “racetrack” graphic and gives the new Charger its unmistakable character from blocks away.

The Fast and the Furious Dodge Charger At Tuning World Bodensee - Muscle Cars BlogOne of the biggest events of the tuning world that took place the past weekend in Germany marked the first official European public appearance of the exclusive 1970 Dodge Charger featured in the famous “The Fast and the Furious” movie that hit the theaters back in 2001.

In fact, it was the very same car that shook Dominic Toretto’s world back then, while making the hearts of the muscle cars’ fans beat faster when Miss Tuning 2009 Martina Ivezaj lied on the floor in front of it…

Originally built and restored by Cinema Vehicle Services (CVS), the ride has quite a stunning unit under its hood: a supercharged Chrysler 426 Hemi V-8 boosted by a BDS 9-71 Roots-style blower and N.O.S. 250 horsepower Plate Nitrous System, which results in 950 horsepower on motor and more than 1100 horsepower on the bottle, as CVS likes to say.

Furthermore, the spec list includes a Chrysler 727 three-speed automatic transmission, Hotchkis springs and shocks, Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes as well as 18-inch Coy C-5 custom rims.
“During the filming, Vin Diesel himself actually took a seat behind the wheel. The sound blasting from this car could make the plaster tumble from the garage ceiling! Now, the first time in Europe, automobile enthusiasts can be astounded by the one-and-only original Dodge Charger, and with a shot of nitrous oxide (laughing gas or N2O) it summons up a monstrous 1200 horsepower,” a release from Tuning World Bodensee reads.
