American Muscle Cars Images

American muscle-cars used to be the undisputed kings of 1⁄4 mile, although the star cars of the 60s and 70s were able to be knocked off the throne just as easily on windy terrain. Here they had to admit defeat to opponents with much less power but more agility: Times change, as the Dodge Challenger Project Car, presented by Eibach at the Essen Motor Show 2008, demonstrates. The 21st century muscle car has won back the considerable charm of the original generation and is also faster, more manoeuvrable and more threatening to its opponents. Curtain up!

With its muscular shape, its orange paintwork with two black racing stripes, the set-back radiator grill and the light-band going around the rear, the new Challenger of the top SRT8 range is reminiscent of the original R/T of 1969. Eibach also reminds us of the memorable debut with its choice of number plates. With 425 HP the nominal performance of the 6.1 litre V8 engine also corresponds to that of the legendary 426-cid Hemi engine, the most powerful standard motor of the first series. The powerful two-door was imported for Eibach by USCars24.de and converted according to the applicable German lighting and licensing regulations.
