The 25th Woodward Dream Cruise is over, but Dodge is still celebrating American muscle.<\/p>\n

To honor the 10th anniversary of Mopar-branded cars, Fiat Chrysler\u2019s performance brand is dressing up its 485-horsepower Dodge Challenger R\/T Scat Pack in wicked Pitch Black or White Knuckle warpaint \u2013 and then covering it with tattoos.<\/p>\n

The signature touch is a \u201cshaker\u201d scoop bulging from the hood like a bicep and\u00a0surrounded by Mopar Blue center stripes that run from the front fascia along the Challenger\u2019s spine to its rear spoiler.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re commemorating our 10th Mopar build with another collectible Dodge Challenger, which continues to be the modern muscle-car every bit as beloved today as the first generation vehicle 50 years ago,\u201d said Mopar boss Mark Bosanac.<\/p>\n

Beloved is right. The roomy, retro-styled Challenger is coming off its best sales year in over a decade, soaring to America\u2019s No. 2 muscle car behind the Ford Mustang.<\/p>\n

For years Mopar has been Chrysler\u2019s mod parts\u00a0shop, offering upgrades to existing models \u2013 but production cars weren\u2019t badged Mopar until 2010 when Dodge rolled out the Mopar \u201910 Challenger.<\/p>\n

In the last 10 years, limited-edition Mopar chariots have included the Mopar ’12 Chrysler 300, Mopar ’13 Dodge Dart,\u00a0Mopar ’16 Ram Rebel,\u00a0and Mopar \u201918 Dodge Durango.<\/p>\n

In addition to its unique body art, the Mopar ’19 Challenger will feature the usual array of Scat Pack upgrades that make the 6.4-liter monster the most powerful car in Challenger\u2019s lineup this side of the iconic SRT\u2019s unholy trinity of Hellcat, Redeye and Demon: 20-inch black forged wheels, Pirelli P Zero summer tires, a limited-slip differential, cold-air intake, aerodynamic spoilers and more.<\/p>\n

Inside, more tattoos. A Mopar logo will be embroidered on the cloth seatbacks.<\/p>\n

Dodge will make\u00a090 for the U.S.\u00a0market and 10 for\u00a0Canada. With a standard 6-speed stick shifter and optional 8-speed auto transmission, the Mopar Challenger starts at $45,835 with dealer orders opening next month. The cars will be delivered ready to burn rubber in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
