Challenger GT? AWD
« on: September 09, 2016 - 01:51:03 PM »
https://www.yahoo.com/news/dodge-may-awd-widebody-hellcat-162936805.html

this could be a great track car

this could be interesting too: widebodied, Hellcat-powered Challenger ADR


According to Automotive News's deep dive into the future of Dodge, the carmaker will reveal the first all-wheel-drive version of the fabled muscle car this fall, a V-6-powered version under the name Challenger GT AWD. Come 2017, Dodge will reportedly reveal the creme de la creme of the Chally lineup—a widebody version powered by the 707-horsepower Hellcat V-8 that goes by the moniker of Challenger ADR.

Can't understand Mopar using "GT".  Its not a Mustang or Ford product.  "Challenger X" would be better.

Very good reminder when they did use GT, but now Ford has the last word on that.

they opened up the order bank last night for the T/A. I know a dealer that already ordered a Destroyer Grey and Go Mango, both with the 6.2. no word yet on the AWD version, he hasn't heard a peep on it yet. if anyone is interested in one, PM me and I'll give you the dealer info.
