It was the year 1966. The muscle car era, which probably began two years ago with the introduction of the Pontiac GTO, was in full swing. To have a chance to young, affluent buyer, therefore, implored by U.S. producers of the day to win, needed a car to deliver large doses of the same style and performance. Dodge Charger Fastback with his new offering, many times.
But it was not until 1968 that the Dodge Charger gained momentum really what it's legendary status in the annals of automotive history. Coca-Cola bottle of hair, a wide range of powerful V8 engines - and meant a lot of success on the NASCAR circuit, the Dodge boys had a winner on their hands - including the 440 Six Pack and 426 Hemi.
Unfortunately, the high point of American power was nearly complete at the time included the Dodge formula, and the car was just a shell of its own muscle to end of 1974.
The rest of the 1970s were not good to the charger and sales slowly disappeared, until the model name has been completely canceled after the 1978 model year. We will jump gracefully over the next few years with front-wheel drive 1983 to 1987 and jump to the reintroduction of the plate in 2006. The Hemi was back in action, was the style of the new cars and aggressive sales and generally well accepted. But in 2010 the charger has been difficult to come in the years after receiving nothing in the way in or out important updates during his five years confronted completely on the market with an online competitive V6 and a former four-speed automatic in based models.
Dodge has finally covers the face of the "new" Charger some attention with an update for the year 2011, the new look, new engines and a complete lack of a four-speed transmission. Does this mean that evasion by the charger plate to the atrophy is being done? Without spoiling the rest of the review, let's just say we have to share some good news.
The first bit of evidence that Dodge is serious about reviving the Charger was the first time in her eyes. Sheet is more sculpture than before, with flowing lines and feminine at once reminiscent of the beloved model year 1970. This is a pure intention. The large scallops that the front doors and aluminum hood and subtle double-diamond-effect in the profile (rather than "Coke bottle" curves like the Chargers of old pronounced, but always in the Era of the welcome indent me-too organic wedge cars) are specifically intended warm and fuzzy recall memories of a bygone era. And most of the time, it works well for those of us old enough to these bold patterns, while witness Looking at Barrett-Jackson on speed.
It is not until you get to the details that you forget, this is starting to break down a thoroughly modern car. Gaps are narrow and the wheels are raised and cut into the wing wells. Nothing sticks out of the boundaries close to the body, an apparent concession to manage the airflow, resulting in a smoother ride than the fuel savings possible and improves the speed. Chrysler says that with a drag coefficient, which is only 0.29, the loader 2011 eight percent more aerodynamic than the car it replaces.
To observe another welcome touch of style are the rear taillights, which consist of 164 individual LED lights. Dodge says the design is intended to mimic the appearance of a racetrack. If yes, is a kind of oval track with a really long sweeping chicane. No matter how we implement, and you certainly will not make the mistake of the back of a 2011 Charger for anything else on the road when the sun goes down.
