Back to Dodge's muscle-car roots

Dodge Challenger Concept Car

Every fall Chrysler holds a competition for its designers to submit sketches of vehicles that will be considered for development for future auto shows. There were actually three designs submitted for the Challenger. Two were more futuristic interpretations, and this one with a more heritage feel, created by Micheal Castiglione, senior design manager at DaimlerChrysler's Pacifica Advanced Product Design Center. The more modern interpretations received the go aheads, and went to full-size models before Chrysler changed its mind and decided the heritage-focused car was the better choice.
