It has been decades since Hurst
had a dressed up model for Mopar enthusiasts, being more popular with the
General Motors crowd in the 80s and 90s, but with a recent announcement and a
handful of renderings Hurst
has showed strong backing for the highly anticipated new Dodge Challenger. Aftermarket companies like Hennessey have
been quick to show off high dollar, modified Challengers, but the Hurst models will likely
be more pocketbook friendly, but will still pack a punch.
Details have been sketchy so far, but it has been announced
that there will be four trimlines offered for the Hurst/Hemi Challenger, with
additions ranging from the gold exterior stripes to a supercharger setup that
will offer 500+ horsepower. A few things
that we surely expect to see is the familiar Hurst
pistolgrip shifter that has become synonymous with the Hurst
name, as well as the large 5-spoke wheels, finished in gold and silver, shown
in the pictures released by Hurst. The car is sure to come in black and white,
with the huge gold stripes, as well as the Hurst logo in the grille and on the front
fenders, and you would imagine that a few special edtion emblems would find
their way into the interior as well.
We hope to have more details soon, but at worst case we will
get a full rundown of the Hurst Challenger features at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas in early
November.
