If the 1970 Dodge Challenger from the Fast and Furious is without any doubt the best known Detroit muscle from the popular franchise, than the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 from the sixth movie is probably number two. I think that we can all agree that this car was only a logical choice for a new muscle, so that we would not get a little bit too much from the legendary 1970 blown Challenger, which was replaced with that vintage 1970 Chevy Chevelle in the Fast and Furious 4.
According to the story behind the movie, from the very first moment when Vin Diesel saw this car, he wanted it to appear in the movie, and his request was gladly accepted. It is no wonder, when we take into an account that Dodge muscle cars has been at the core of the Fast and Furious movies from the very beginning. And the CEO of the Dodge brand Tim Kuniskis, was also thrilled by the idea of having the new Hellcat in the movie.
I really think that there is no need for me to tell you and remind you on some of the legendary scenes with the two Challengers from the movie, I know that you have all seen it. Now watch the video below and see how this legendary 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 looks like in real life, at this year`s Detroit Autorama.
