Autoweek blows embargo again

Embargoes. Schlembargoes. Autoweek has no need for them and has let slip the rear-end of the brand new Dodge Challenger SRT8 in their latest print issue after already showing us the front end last week. So now we can show you the entire car well before Dodge wanted anyone to know, courtesy of Autoweek. On the other hand, the floodgates will break next week at the Chicago Auto Show on the new retro Dodge Challenger SRT8.

The image is the first that shows the actual production rear end of the Mustang rival. As expected the single rear light unit has been broken up into several segments, with the reverse light centered. Also a black rear trunk lid spoiler supplements the retro look even more and accompanies the black front lip spoiler. Also the exhaust tips have been reduced to two rectangular ones, instead of four.

Stay tuned for coverage of the show next week and plenty of pics! Until then, let us know what you think of the new Dodge Challenger SRT8 below.

Nice one. Very beautiful. Drag Coefficient value is? i was just wondering because of the upright front

In the first photo, look! It's got serious body roll--despite traveling in a straight line.

No it's turning to the right. Look at the angle on the front wheels.

In the first photo, look! It's got significant body roll--despite traveling in a straight line.

Looks over-retro so to speak but lovely, I agree it looks better than the concept. In lime green with smaller black rims/bigger profile tires it'd kick serious ass. Nice job.

I love German cars and have owned many, but thank God there are many characterful vehicles from other countries as well. Even Bentleys look just like big VWs now.

The LEDs looks good spanned across the back. Although, the Camaro looks 100 times better!

Another example of America's longing to live in a time when their economy wasn't stagnant, when their wars were fought on actual principles, when the rest of the world didn't hate them... when cars could get away with being uninspired.
