This incredible Challenger is the product of a collaboration between pre-eminent high-performance car builder Steve Sanderson and George Barris, legendary “King of the Kustomizers”. The genesis of the project was at the 2006 SEMA show, where Dodge displayed its exciting, retro-styled Challenger concepts to the public. Quickly, Sanderson ordered two of the very first production Challengers, taking delivery in 2008. The first of the Challengers was then developed by Sanderson and Barris into a tribute to one of the very first Challengers produced in 1970, which was used in the classic film “Vanishing Point”, starring Barry Newman. Thus, the new car is named VPC, short for Vanishing Point Challenger.
Barris’ design ideas required the car to be almost completely disassembled in preparation for a trademark Barris Kustom paint finish in orange and yellow, including a set of triple pin stripes surrounding the perimeter of the car. In addition, Sanderson and Barris engaged Yancy Cordell at Yancy’s Fabrication Inc. to devise the unique carbon-fiber racing stripe treatment that incorporates a very bold hood scoop design, as well as a pair of front and rear spoilers artfully molded into the bodywork, the first of their kind. Of course, the exterior color scheme extends to the interior with orange seats and door panels with yellow accents on the seats, as well as tastefully embroidered “VPC” lettering on the front seat uprights. Rolling on a set of yellow painted Kustom wheels, the Challenger definitely makes a bold and aggressive statement. Both George and Steve will sign the car for its lucky new owner, in addition to a Certificate of Authenticity that confirms this car as VPC Prototype One of One!

2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.
2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Aug 2014Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.
How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
