The hood reprises the original Challenger “performance hood” and its
twin diagonal scoops, now with functional butterfly-valve intakes.
Designed to showcase the modern techniques used in fabricating the
car, what look like painted racing stripes are actually the exposed
carbon fiber of the hood material.

The Challenger concept is a genuine four-passenger car. “You can sit
up in the back seat,” said Castiglione. Compared to the original,
the greenhouse is longer, the windshield and backlite faster, and
the side glass narrower. All glass is set flush with the body
without moldings, another touch the original designers could only
wish for. The car is a genuine two-door hardtop — no B-pillar — with
the belt line ramping up assertively at the quarter window just
forward of the wide C-pillar. |

Exterior details one
might expect, like a racing-type gas cap, hood tie-down pins,
louvered backlite and bold bodyside striping, didn’t make the “cut,”
the designers feeling such assorted bits would detract from the
purity of the monochromatic body form. But tucked reassuringly under
the rear bumper are the “gotta have” twin-rectangle pipes of the
dual exhausts.
In contrast to the bright Orange Pearl exterior, the interior is a
no-nonsense, “let’s-get-in-and-go” black relieved by satin silver
accents and narrow orange bands on the seat backs. “Though the 1970
model was looked to for inspiration, we wanted to capture the memory
of that car, but expressed in more contemporary surfaces, materials
and textures,” said Alan Barrington, principal interior designer. |
