In 1965, the Dodge Charger was first presented and called “Charger II”. This hot fast car was manufactured with hidden headlights, quad bucket seats and full-width tail lamps to complement its Hemi engine, unique styling and distinctive features.

After a year of production, the new fast car Charger was revamped to alter a few imperfections while adding fender-mounted turn signals and the Magnum 500 option.

In the late ’60s until 1970, the second generation of Dodge Charger fast cars came about – with two impressive models: the Base Charger and the 318 or 383 V8s. However, it was in 1969 when DaimlerChrysler introduced the Special Edition Package and Charger Daytona that shaped the history of the Charger’s supercar automobile.

During the early 1970’s, the third generation of Dodge Charger super fast cars was produced. With a completely redesigned fast car, its exterior, interior and engine underwent overall upgrading.

For 2006, this impressively fast muscle car will feature two more doors and a spacious interior.   With a more mature design, the Charger new fast car will focus on performing with daily driving practicality.

The SRT8 fast new car is the baby of the scientists at the DaimlerChrysler SRT Division (Street and Racing Technology).

Charger SRT8 features a five-speed automatic gearbox that complements the 6.1-liter 90 Ëš V8 Hemi with iron block or alum heads. A super fast car that can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5 seconds and through 100 mph in 11 seconds.

The Charger SRT8 is one of those “fast and the furious car” types, where not everyone will appreciate its aggressiveness. To put it simply, the newest Charger will definitely perform as an above average, fast racing car.

The main feature included in the 2006 Charger upgraded is the sheet metal. From outside this superb fast car, you will see the large hood scoop and massive 20-inch wheels representing additional SRT8 firepower.

The Charger chassis is improved greatly with SRT-tuned dampers, suspension bushings, large-diameter anti-sway bars and specially tailored spring rates complemented by a braking system with Brembo 4-piston calipers. These improvements allow the SRT8 fast car to perform safely even with great speed – just as it was designed to function.

The interior of the SRT8 displays Dodge simplicity with first-rate materials for its special seats and trims as well as the fully decked-out cabin.

The SRT8 hot fast car also offers optional features that focus on practicality. These add-ons include Bluetooth wireless technology, Sirius satellite radio, SRT Kicker speakers, side airbags, automatic climate control, navigation radio, powerful sunroof and gas-guzzler.

The Dodge Charger SRT8, which is estimated to have a $35,300 base price, will be manufactured at Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
