Dodge presented the concept of the new Challenger in 2006 at the Detroit Auto Show, and launched sales in 2008. The car uses a shortened version of the rear-wheel drive Chrysler LX platform. Several more models of those years were built on it: Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum. This was a joint development of the DaimlerChrysler concern, so in Dodge cars of that time you can find Mercedes-Benz technologies: the rear multi-link suspension was created on the basis of the W211 generation E-Class.

The front suspension is its own – independent with A-shaped arms, partially repeats the S-class in the W220 body. Most cars have rear-wheel drive, but there are also all-wheel drive versions. Gearboxes – manual or automatic. The engines are only gasoline, the most modest is 3.5 liters and 250 hp. With.
