That car is bad ***!!

 

Detailing under the hood is beautiful. If the production version is as clean, that would be fantastic. And no cheesy looking engine cover like what's on the Camaro concept or GTO. The covers on the valve covers actually improve the appearance of the engine.
Where's the battery? In the trunk maybe?
What's with the gay LEDs around the low beams? They kinda screw up the front end for me. Back end is great, I really like the taillight design.
I'd rather see the Challenger badge on the front fender. And its a shame but those wheels would have to be swapped out if it was mine.
Overall I think they did a very good job. I'm ready to see one in some color than orange.

 

I've posted these pics on another board and alot of people are saying its photochopped. Anyone else see this?

 

It looks great.

 

All it needs is a 105mm cannon, a .50 cal coaxil machine gun, and a few Sabo rounds, and you could drop that 2 ton tank in Iraq.

 

I don't hate it, but I'll be seeing it this way:

 

Perhaps. But consider the differences between a 3 Series and 7 Series BMW sedan (skipping the 5 entirely):

W: 71.5 vs 74.9 (3.4" difference)
H: 55.9 vs 58.7 (2.8" difference)
L: 178.2 vs 198.4 (20.2" difference)
WB: 108.7 vs 117.7 (9" difference)

So the jump from the lithe, sporty 3 to the huge, limo like 7 is 3" in width and height, though obviously much more in length (though only 9" in wb, which is what will affect its ride/handling more). The jump from a 4th gen (already big for a coupe) to the Challenger is, what, 3 inches in width, 5 inches in height, a few inches in length, 15 inches in WB (101.1 vs 116). Interestingly, Challenger is actually pretty damn close in size to the 7 Series, now that I look at the numbers.

Remember, even though it is on a 116" wb instead of the 300c's 120", the longer front overhang made the Challenger BIGGER than the 300.

You really didn't think it seemed huge in person? When I snuck over to look at it in Detroit, I thought the Challenger was pretty damn big.

 

Those measurements dont take into account the greenhouse size, and robust rear and stocky sides. Wheras the 4th gen was more bullet shaped.

At its extremes it may be only slightly wider, but the appearance.... is huuuuge! And since we are looking at pictures, visual appearance is all we have to work with. The 300 also has a larger than normal visual appearance to me.

 

dont production cars usually get toned down from the concept look?

because i cant imagine that getting any more plain

 

The interior will make it intact. The Challenger concept is practically a pre-production car. I suspect the actual production car will not be much different from the concept.

 

Is it just me or does that pic of the interior look like one big decal?

 

I don't find it attractive.

 

I like it ok. I just like the Camaro concept a lot more .

Those interior shots seriously look photoshopped. All the edges are pixelated, where the obviously real things don't have that effect. Brightness levels are too high compared to other areas in the shot. There are no supple tones picked up. Just looks obviously fake.

 

Nah, it's not fake. The Camera was just compensating for the low light levels which in some cameras will leave that pixilated look. A flash can also eliminate any subtle shadows and highlights.
