Official Production Number Announced for 2008 Challenger
Date posted: 01-21-2008
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Chrysler has announced that it
will build 6,400 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 coupes for the United States, with a few more slated for Mexico and Canada.
In October 2007, it was reported that Chrysler intended to produce a limited run of just 5,000 units of the 425-horsepower, 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered Challenger, while just three weeks ago, Chrysler told Inside Line that it had already received more than 9,000 orders for the 2008 model.
Dodge has priced the Challenger SRT8 at $37,995, including a $675 destination fee. However, with what has become an issue of supply and demand, expect real-world sales transactions to skyrocket.
What this means to you: If you're not already at the top of the 2008 list, better look to next year. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor
