Dont know if any of y'all know this already, but its official. DMX has announced that the LY Platform, an evolution of the current LX platform, (which the charger, magnum and 300 are based on) will be lead off the line by the Challenger coupe. More or less it will have the same options as the current generation vehicles, and the 3.5L V6 will remain the standard engine despite talks of making the 5.7 standard on it. The SRT version with the 6.1 will come roughly one model year after the base model. The concept looks great, however its likely that hardly anything about this concept will actually make it into production knowing DMX. Anyways thats all I know for now. I'll update if I learn anything else.

Something for the two door guys I suppose. Isn't it kind of late though for a new muscle car?

Looks like our DaimlerChrysler insider, Zepia, was correct.

DMX? what the hell do they have to do with the auto industry.


that would be awesome if the 5.7 was standard. now that would be a real muscle car with a standard hemi engine.

I don't believe there is an official concept. Maybe I'm wrong...
