2010 Dodge Challenger
Dodge's latest (and most vibrant) limited edition Challenger: it's painted in a color Chrysler calls "Furious Fuscia."
That name may be new, but the paint certainly isn't. Once a part of Chrysler's wild "High Impact" color offerings, the hue -- known as "Panther Pink" on Dodge models and "Moulin Rouge" on Plymouths -- was only offered on 1970 models (although some 1971 cars were special ordered with the hue).
Fittingly, production of the Furious Fuscia Challenger will be just as short. Chrysler plans on limiting production of R/T Classic models in the color, although it has yet to establish a firm number for that limit. R/T Classic models will continue to use the 376-hp 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, although cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will receive the "Trak Pak" -- which adds a pistol-grip shifter, performance exhaust, and a 3.92:1 limited-slip differential -- as standard equipment.
Challenger SRT8 models painted in the color will be even harder to find at dealers. Chrysler will build only 400 examples, with each car receiving a numbered dash plaque to indicate its exclusivity. All Furious Fuscia SRT8 models receive special satin-finished 20-inch wheels, quad exhaust tips, pearlescent white leather seating surfaces (an option on the R/T Classic), and an orange paint finish for the 6.1-liter V-8's block.
