The Dodge Challenger is one of the most legendary muscle cars in history. Its current generation dates from 2005 and, as usual, says goodbye to the market with a special version, a Last Call, as it is called in the United States. Its about Dodge Challenger Black Ghost, which mounts the 6.2 V8 engine of 807 hp. Its production will be limited and (this is new) there will be 300 units destined for Europe. It won’t be cheap, it’s priced at €145,000.
This type of vehicle has never had great sales in the old continent. Not because it is not interesting, but the consumption of this type of engine makes its use prohibitive. But a few units, of what is possibly the last version with a combustion engine (electric muscle cars are expected to arrive following the guidelines set by the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept.
The Dodge Challenger Black Ghost is part of a collection of seven special farewell versions of the model made in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. All connected to the past. In the case of the version that concerns us with the 1970 Dodge Challenger RT SE, owned by Godfrey Qualls, famous for the clandestine races that were held in Detroit.
It is distinguished from other more conventional units by elements such as black paint, Mopar black pins on the hood or the vinyl roof that imitates the skin of an alligator. It has 20-inch wheels. Satin Carbon Warp Speed, that hint at Brembo brakes with black calipers.
The new Dodge Challenger Black Ghost also has fender and spoiler badging or a distinctive grille. Inside there is no lack of a steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara with the SRT logo, carbon fiber elements or leather seats in Alcantara/Laguna.
Of course, the most interesting thing about this type of model is under the hood, with the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that generates 807 HP (586 kW) and 959 Nm of maximum torque, shared with the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody (139,830 euros ). It is associated with an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Approves a consumption of 20.7 l/100 km, 469 g/km of CO2 emissions.
In addition to the engine, it has Full LED headlights, keyless access and start, climate control, heated seats with electrical adjustments and a multimedia team with browser, compatibility with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and some aids such as the rear view camera, speed control cruise or lane keeping assistance.
