2011 Dodge Charger spy photos

By Matt Brogan | April 16th, 2010

Our spy photographers have today snapped these images of the 2011 Dodge Charger being road tested in Europe.

While we’re not sure why the US-built car is being tested in Europe, it may have some connection to the recent Chrysler-Fiat tie-up.

The new Charger is expected to share some styling details with the original 1968 models in a Camaro-esque retro throwback. But with such heavily camoflague, it’s hard to tell what these new styling cues might be.

What we have noticed is new LED tail lamps, and a slightly less boxy appearance. Our spy photographers also said the model pictured could be the new 2011 Dodge Charger SRT8, with a spoiler obvious on the boot lid. Though with exhaust outlets so small, we’re tipping the model shown is most likely the mid-spec Charger R/T.

The new Dodge Charger is expected to hit US markets late this year as a 2011 model. Many forums say the new car’s lines will more closely resemble those of the 1999 Dodge Charger Concept, as will a revamped interior with dramatic retro overtones.

The 2011 Dodge Charger will come standard with the new Chrysler Pentastar V6 engine and will also be available with an optional turbocharged unit to replace the existing 5.7-litre V8. The SRT8 model is likely to be powered by a 6.4-litre V8 developing no less than 336kW.

Pricing has not yet been announced though it is expected the car will retail close to the current model’s entry price of USD$25,000 (AUD$26,770).

expected the car will retail close to the current model’s entry price of USD$25,000 (AUD$26,770) – or $110,000 imported and converted for Australia

The 300C SRT8 is $75K on the road (my boss’s is) and its the same car. Why would you import?

300c the same as a Charger? They might share a platform and drivetrain but they are completely different beasts. That’s like saying the 300c, Charger, Challenger and Magnum are all a Mercedes W210 chassis E-Class, as that’s what they’re based on.

Doesn’t it just kill you how cheap cars in the US are its like having $26770 ss commodores ~ the worst is the conversion on the 911. Before the 33% LCT was even on the table and it was still 12% or something the list of a base 911 in Australia hovered round $205,000 now its round 220k in the states its $86000 american!

W210 chassis E-Class, as that’s what they’re based on.

ok, first of all, get your facts right, the 300c and charger as well as the rest of the rear drive sedans that Chrysler sell are NOT BASED OF MERCEDES PLATFORMS the Merc parts come in the form of suspension and drive train components!
Damn that really gets under my skin when some poor misinformed soul just regurgitates the same cluless articles that are written elsewhere.

Ah no its not misguided, MB actually acknowledges it. When Chrysler and Daimler were joined they shared platforms, and Chrysler kept the rights to some of the superseded ones. If you don’t believe me Google it for God’s sake.

Bring on $30000 Mustangs, Camaros and Chargers. Stuff Climate Change.

I reckon bring the Mustangs,Chargers,Camaros here for a similar price tag screw climate change and screw EPA for not having loud exhaust stock on V8s and screw whoever builds rubbish hybrids
