2017 marks Mopar’s 80th anniversary and the automaker is planning on commemorating the milestone all year long with unique events and new product intros. The year-long celebration will also consist of launching of new Mopar special-edition automobiles, with the first, the 2017 Dodge Challenger Mopar Edition, making its launching at the 2017 Chicago Auto Program.
An overall of 160 Challenger Mopar Editions will be developed, with the first 80 being completed in a two-tone Pitch Black/Contusion Blue plan and the others painted two-tone Black/Billet Silver. Other special exterior touches consist of a hand-painted Mopar 392 logo design, Pitch Black low-gloss accents, Hellcat exhaust tips and 20-inch aluminum wheels.
Mopar has also provided its business colors to the interior with Tungsten Mopar logo designs embroidered on the seatbacks, Tungsten stitching and Tungsten door panels and interior sections. The automobile will likewise include a special Mopar box that consists of a Moapr welcome letter, a ‘Birth Certificate’, a hand signed Mopar ’17 rendering, a special Mopar ’17 brochure, Mopar valve stem caps and other Mopar-branded products such as a key chain and 80th anniversary badge.
The only readily available powertrain for the Mopar Challenger is consisted of Dodge’s 485 horse power 6.4-liter HEMI 382 V8 engine and Tremec six-speed manual transmission. Mopar has also included some performance parts as standard including a Mopar cold-air consumption assisted by a Hellcat air-catcher duct, Mopar strut tower braces and four-piston Brembo brakes at all 4 corners.
The 2017 Dodge Challenger Mopar edition will start coming to select dealers across the United States and Canada in the early second-quarter of 2017.
