Panther Pink 2010 Dodge Challenger
Dodge has officially announced a very limited production
of a pink 2010 Dodge Challenger. To dissapointment of some Dodge
fans the 1970 Chrysler term "Panther Pink" will not be
used in the color title. The officialy color is called "Furious
Fuchsia" and is very close to the 1970 high impact color it
is intended to mimic. Dodge has plans to make a production run of
about 400 cars for the 2010 year. A white interior is available
with the Pink Challenger. Otherwise the car will remain identical
to a standard production RT or SRT Challenger.

"Commemorating four decades of Challenger performance, the
new R/T Classic and SRT8 Furious Fuchsia editions modernize one
of the most memorable hues from 1970 to create a modern muscle-car
that exudes more performance, passion and even more nostalgia,"
said Ralph Gilles, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dodge

LLC. "As an ode to our Dodge fans, these highly collectible
models feature all-new Pearl White leather performance seats with
Furious Fuchsia accents to deliver a customized, yet contemporary

The U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the new
2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic in Furious Fuchsia Pearl Coat
is $35,140, while the high-performance SRT8 model is $45,150 (both
prices include $725 destination). Both Furious Fuchsia editions
will be available for order at Dodge dealerships nationwide in March.
2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic Furious Fuchsia
Based on the powerful 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T, the Dodge Challenger
R/T Classic Furious Fuchsia edition features dual throwback A-line
body-side R/T stripes in Matte Black or Bright White. Completing
the look are "Challenger" fender badges in classic script,
large 20-inch polished-aluminum heritage wheels with all-season
performance tires, classic egg-crate grille with heritage "R/T"
badge, body-color rear spoiler, functional hood scoop and bright
racing style fuel-filler door.
On the interior, the trapezoidal theme of the door-panel and gauge
cluster, dark headliner and slanted shifter console are inspired
by the original Dodge Challenger. Inspiration from the past continues
with exclusive Pearl White performance seats accented with Dark
Slate Gray and Furious Fuchsia French-seamed stitching as a factory-installed
option. Monotone Dark Slate Gray leather performance seats and center
console armrest with Furious Fuchsia accent stitching are standard.
When paired with the Tremec six-speed manual transmission, the
2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic Furious Fuchsia edition includes
the performance-minded Track Pak with precision-shift "pistol-grip"
shifter, anti-spin 3.92 differential and a performance-tuned dual
exhaust with two low-restriction bottle resonators for maximum "throatiness."
And when it’s time to deliver, the Furious Fuchsia R/T Classic
can accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than six seconds with its powerful
376 horsepower (280 kW) and 410 lb.-ft. of torque (556 N·m)
5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine.
2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Furious Fuchsia
If the tire-smoking Furious Fuchsia R/T Classic is not exciting
enough, the 400 ultra-exclusive 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 versions
delivers even more punch with a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine--with
engine block lacquered in original HEMI Orange paint--producing
425 horsepower (317 kW) and 420 lb.-ft. (569 N·m) of torque,
performance-tuned ride and handling, benchmark braking and race-inspired
interior with unique SRT-designed appointments.
The limited-production Dodge Challenger SRT8 in Furious Fuchsia
is based on the 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and features several
standard equipment upgrades, including all-new Pearl White leather
SRT performance seats with Furious Fuchsia accented stripe, unique
20-inch SRT forged-aluminum wheels with Satin Black accents, serialized
dash plaque indicating the limited production series of 400 and
retro-inspired chromed quad-exhaust tips.
Production of the 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and SRT8 Furious
Fuchsia Editions
Production of the all-new 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and
SRT8 in limited-production Furious Fuchsia Pearl Coat will start
in May 2010 at the Brampton Assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario,
Canada. These special-edition coupes will be built on the same assembly
line as the award-winning and quality-proven Dodge Charger and Dodge
Charger SRT8 sedans.
