I believe those are of the concept at the Big Smoke in Las Vegas.

I like the new wheels over the concept version.

I like the wheels better too. Not a fan of rectangular exhaust tips, but those look nice. Did they really have to put the word "Fuel" on the fuel filler door? Like someone was going to put the windshield washer fluid there. What's the spoiler made of? Rubber or plastic? Would've probably preferred body color. Like the grill a lot. Fills up that space well.

Now when do we get to see the interior?

I have seen the concept twice, and I prefer the concept wheels but I have not seen the production wheels other than the picture.

Whether if you are fan of the rectangular exhaust tips or not that is the way the original was as I actually installed some on my Challenger.

That shape is definitely one of Challenger's trademark. My guess on the spoiler is that is is a hard polymer.

Some of those pics are concept car pics.

I especially like the "crossbar-less" grille - that looks fine on my Ram pickup but always thought it looked a bit out of place on the Challenger concept - glad someone and Chrysler apparently thought the same way.

And gotta love the retro gas cap, hope that makes it into production also. I'm still wondering about the "telemetry" meter in the dash... hopefully that makes it past the bean counters too, even if it is an SRT exclusive.

RE: New 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 pics
 
Some definite differences. I thought I didn't see a crosshair grille on the earlier pictures, but it was taken with a lower grade camera and it was dark so it was hard to say for sure. I like it either way honestly.

The chrome rectangular exhaust tips won't have the split in the middle that the concept's had.
While rectangular shape is still there, the split is gone. I have to believe it was to reduce cost. If I had a choice
I would choose the split because that is what my Challenger had but at this point it is not a big deal.

I like the new look to the wheels and the new fuel filler door. Still not sure on the font of the Challenger text, but it looks like that's what the Chrysler folks are going with. I guess we wait for more but this is some nice first looks.

Like the rims better.
Like the grill better.
Like the exhaust tips better.
Prefer it without the rear spoiler.
Like the gas cap, but I hope they delete the word Fuel...I like the font, but the word Fuel may be kinda silly (especially in CA).

Notice the SRT and Alcoa Forged lettering on the wheel on the top and bottom. You can also just read the end of the Brembo lettering.

I like the chrome exhausts tips but they are a take-off from the 'Cuda's. The Challenger's were also rectangular but were segmented. Instead of duals, they looked like quads.

Someone probably would try that too. I am not sure the interior either, Im guessing the current SRT-8 seats without the ribbed in them; I think they may have the same exterior color in like color inserts. I wonder if they will have a Pistol Grip for the automatic?
