Dodge Challenger

The Challenger is a performance sedan (muscle car) first marketed by Dodge in the sixties and seventies. It competed in the Trans Am Series. The Plymouth equivalent was the Barracuda. Several years after it was first discontinued, the name was revived in a low performance sports coupe version related to the revived Dodge Charger and Dodge Daytona. It was not successful in motorsport, but like its cousins competed in IMSA GTU and SCCA racing. It was discontinued by the nineties. A Challenger concept car was introduced many years later, but was not put into mass-production. The model was eventually put back into production using a retro-inspired design. It competed in the Pirelli World Challenge and Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. It also competes in the Trans Am Series using Sam Posey tribute livery. The Challenger also competed in the Rolex Sports Car Series.
