Thursday, the first production 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 was built at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada. Over 1,000 employees and guests were on hand to celebrate the rebirth of the muscle car legend. The Challenger is built on the same line as the Charger sedan and the Chrysler 300C.
Approximately 7,000 2008 model-year Challengers will be produced for North American markets before 2009 model-year cars begin production in August. For 2009, Dodge will offer three models: Challenger SE, Dodge Challenger R/T, and Dodge Challenger SRT8. The 2008 models are already sold out.
Pricing for the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 starts at $37,995, including the $675 destination charge.
