2011 Dodge Charger RT

2011 Dodge Charger is the Dodge brand’s flagship that proudly delivers premium, world-class E-segment sedan precision at an incredible value. The efficient and aerodynamic exterior is spiritually inspired by the iconic second-generation Charger from the late 1960s.

Built at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ont. (Canada), the 2011 Dodge Charger arrives in showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The Charger’s profile is also a modern affair, a result of countless hours in the wind tunnel, from its lower hood line, faster windshield and radically raked back headlights to its tighter wheel openings, lower sill and race-car-like flat underbody, the Dodge Charger effortlessly cuts thought the air with its attitude intact. The aluminum hood features dual “scallops” that bring a sculptured, performance look to the front end, while large body-side scallops deliver a striking undulating A-line across the doors.

Running front to rear is the iconic horizontal “coke bottle” or “double-diamond” body-side styling that creates a tapering silhouette accented with muscular front and rear fenders. Defining the fastback’s wide stance is an all-new signature taillamp design that incorporates 164 illuminating LEDs to form its signature “racetrack” graphic and gives the new Dodge Charger its unmistakable character from blocks away.

Interior, the all new design feature premium materials throughout. The all-new features a new thick-rimmed three-spoke Dodge steering wheel for enhanced performance feel and grip. Craftsmanship and style thanks to premium soft-touch materials and four available distinct interior color combinations.

Dodge Charger engineers were able to tune the cabin for sound quality (rather than sound level) by isolating powertrain, road and wind noise. In addition, Dodge Charger’s unibody packages material and structural design improvements, including dual-pane acoustic windshield and front-door side glass, body-cavity silencing foam, under-flush roll-framed doors with triple seals and acoustic wheel-well liners to absorb road noise and quiet the cabin.

The Top 25 Exotic Supercar Wrecks of All Time

We treat supercars like celebrities. We love them, always looking for the next big star. But we also jump to know the whole story should one crash and burn. You could shoot a gun at an Alfa 8C and I'd probably dive in front of it and take the hit, yet at the same time I couldn't stop watching a guy take his Veyron swimming. I don't think we expect it to happen. I still get shocked when someone loses it while trying to dorifto in their Koenigsegg.


But the fact is these are extreme cars, some having as much (or more) horsepower than an F1 car. Sure they have fancy suspensions and big brakes to boot, but the thing is unlike race cars, anyone is allowed to drive one. Money can't buy talent, just look at Paris Hilton. Rich doesn't mean you can drive, so a crashed supercar makes total sense. Below are 25 examples of supercars going wrong. Not all of them are due to driver error, but if you're thinking about putting down a deposit on something like the Zenvo ST1, make sure you attend a driving school first.

2011 Hennessey HPE700 Chevy Camaro Convertible Boasts 755 HP Supercharged LS9 Engine

Even though Chevrolet’s new Camaro convertible won’t be making its in-the-metal debut until next month’s L.A. Auto Show, John Hennessey and crew are already preparing to make the General’s newest droptop even fiestier. In the process, they’re also giving people who weren’t able to pick up one of their limited edition carnivorous Camaros this year a second chance.


You see, Hennessey only produced 24 HPE700s in 2010. With 725hp on tap from a tweaked LS9 supercharged 6.2L V8 cribbed from the Corvette ZR1, performance was, unsurprisingly, stupefying. Once again, only two-dozen copies will be made, but buyers will have a choice of coupe or convertible. But the addition of an al fresco version isn’t the only big news for the ’11 model. Where’s (the rest of) the beef? Jump, if you please.
