As German as GeigerCars is, they know a thing or two about tuning American cars. No surprises then, as the company shows off its latest best from the west creation, a Dodge Challenger-based muscle car using the HEMI V8 to power itself. It's the SRT 8's soul that it comes with, that 6.1-litre V8 which produces 425hp/ 317kW off the showroom floor.

This being GeigerCars, that was never going to be enough, so a force-feeding kit is employed to up the power to a much more inviting 569hp/ 424kW and 678Nm of torque. A stainless steel tailpipe takes care of aural pleasures at the rear. The 22-inch rear wheels handle all this power on request for anyone with the required €14,900.

Braking prowess comes from 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston calipers at the rear, and 380x32 and 355x32 mm brake discs. An H&R adjustable suspension system can be added optionally for €1,529.

And nice as this car is. all these challengers that these companys "tune" up all look the same, beside the rims. Same lower front lip, same hood and same spoiler. boring. there's nothing that can be done to this car externally. at least the camero has a few different looks, but not this.

569bhp to the rear wheels alone? this car needs a discount for tyre sets.

i've been saying from its launch lime green was the missing color.. so it looks mean and cool as expected, the only regret being those 22in wheels, ridiculously oversized, they should have stuck to, say, 17 or 18" with eventually larger tyres to reach that pleasant retro taste, which is still well ahead from the original 14-15"[anyone?] size back in the days
