Eibach Dodge Challenger
Eibach showed off their tuned version of the Dodge Challenger by getting actor Vin Diesel to drive it to the German Premiere of Fast & Furious. FF4 marks Diesel's return to the film franchise after first playing Dominic Toretto, the truck hijacker you want to be friends with.
Suspension wizards Eibach first showed off their Challenger in Essen late last year. Working from a Dodge Challenger R/T, they improved the suspension with the intention of building a car that sped through corners as well as it goes flat out. The company attached a fully adjustable suspension, and tacked on 22-inch OZ wheels with big, wide Toyo sport tires around the rim. Inside, they also put an Alpine entertainment system with many speakers and two LCD monitors.
A man of many words, Diesel only said "Nice car," when asked about the Eibach Challenger. The car is also being taken around on a short tour of German nightclubs; tour dates are in the press release below. Fast & Furious opens in most worldwide markets between 2 and 16 April.

Dodge Challenger with "Diesel"
The "Fast & Furious" star drives to a VIP film premiere in the Eibach Muscle Car
On March 17th, in the German City of Bochum, the suspension specialists from Eibach presented the first German Dodge Challenger with "Diesel" on board. We are, of course, not talking about a new engine but the US actor of the same name "Vin Diesel", the hero of Fast & Furious - New Model. Original parts. Vin, who in the fourth part of the tuning saga again plays the role of the high-speed junky Dom Toretto, drove up at the official VIP pre-premiere true to style in the sonorous Eibach Muscle Car. "Nice car" he said appreciatively, having driven the 425HP V8 up to the red carpet amongst the screams of the fans. The agility of the power car, which is due to the built-in Eibach Coil-Over Suspension System, impresses even more than its sheer torque. Anyone who was unable to be there live can see the video at www.eibach.de of the arrival of the star on the red carpet at the UCI cinema in Bochum.
If you prefer to see the Challenger face to face, you have the opportunity to do so after the official German launch of the film on April 2nd. Until then the Dodge, which can really start a party with its multimedia upgrade from Alpine Electronics, is on a tour of nine popular discos and clubs across Germany. Alongside the two afore-mentioned partners, the tyre specialists from Toyo Tires are also joining in, even though the smoke on the dancefloor is more likely to come from smoke machines than the tyres. Besides, a further highlight is the imposing show truck of the three companies which can be admired. This should ensure that the presentation quickly gets its "engine started".
