2013 Dodge Challenger R/T RedlineI hope you’re not too overdone by the onslaught of red that happens on Valentine’s Day.  At the Chicago Auto Show, Dodge unveiled a new Redline package for the Challenger.  The popular muscle car is being given a heavy duty upgrade that fans will definitely want.

The new package is based on the successful 305 horsepower V-6 Challenger Rallye Redline model that released last year.

In order to get a distinct look for the Redline, there will be an all-new two color Redline Red and Graphite stripe that runs all the way from just behind the front wheel to the tail-end of the Challenger.  The back section of the stripe has “Redline” tattooed in Red over the Graphite color.  The R/T Redline will also have a body-color grille surround.

Other color options are available for the exterior in case you really are burnt out on red.  They include Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White, and Pitch Black.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T RedlineThe Dodge Challenger R/T Redline has 20-inch Black Chrome wheels along with a Redline Red lip and inner backbone.  If you’re looking to have more precision then you can get the Super Track Pak that comes with Goodyear Eagle F1 P245/45R20 three-season performance tires as well as high performance brake linings and even has a lowered ride height.

To really give the infamous muscle car more power, it will have a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine.  That enables up to 375 horsepower with six-speed manual transmission or paddle-shifting and driver adaptable automatic transmission.

The Redline package is retailing for $1,995.  It’s available on the Challenger R/T and the R/T plus models.  If you’re interested, contact us at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  We serve the Queens area for all your Dodge needs.  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for more Dodge news and special monthly offers.

Dodge Charger Defies the Future of Television

defiance-dodge-charger-chicago-1360267772There’s a new show about to air on Syfy that’s looking to be a fusion of media.  It’s a TV show by the name of Defiance is about an alien war in a Mad Max-esque future.  What makes this stand-out amongst other post-apocalyptic shows, such as Fallen Skyes, is that it will be released along with a video game.  In the game, players will interact with scenarios from the show and may even have an impact on future episodes.  While people, like me, are waiting to see if this is a feasible idea, it certainly seems like they have won over Dodge as a fan.

At the Chicago Auto Show, Dodge showed off the perfect vehicle for the alien fighter.  A Dodge Charger supped up to handle a dystopian future in its performance while certainly looking the part.  If Mad Max is the look the show makers are looking to capture, then pop the champagne.  The custom Charger that Dodge has given over to them is a beauty of desolation.

Covered in grime and muck that show the future has lost the ability to produce competent car washes, the Dodge Charger in Defiance sure seems built to be punished.  Window bars, a huge grille guard right out in front to deal with nasty creatures, and big ol’ truck tires to top off the rugged future look.  The only thing missing from the car is someone in spike-covered leather with a Mohawk screaming while firing a gun in the air.

The show premieres April 15th at 9:00 PM EST.  You won’t be able to see this beast of a Charger in action until then, but at least you can stare at the pictures and imagine yourself running down aliens.

For the present day Dodge buyer, if you’re in the Queens area, Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge is your one stop for all your needs.  We have a full new and pre-owned line-up, which you can view online.  Make sure you also like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter for more news and monthly specials.
