The August issue of Road & Track has a tiny blurb about the possibility of Chrysler resurrecting the Challenger
using the LX platform currently dedicated to the 300/Magnum/Charger trio. A concept is reportedly currently in the
works for a debut at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. The coupe would theoretically be easy to design and build and could
be, if priced correctly, the first real competition for Ford’s new Mustang. R&T does point out, however, that the
plant building the current crop of LX cars is at full production, so adding another model to the assembly line might be
difficult.
I wasn’t too sure about the copyright laws concerning the artist’s rendering of the Challenger in R&T, so rather
than reproduce it here and get sued I pulled a photoshop job by Doug Schramm off of Autospies instead. I actually like
this rendering better than R&T’s, even though it’s oozing retro from every orifice.
