The styling changes on the all new 2011 Dodge Charger, which the motor company unveiled last week, are subtle yet impressive. Charger’s front end is more curved at the fenders, with a more aggressive grille. The read slides up somewhat, with the tail lamp design incorporating 164 illuminating LEDS.

Official interior shots haven’t been released yet, but a spy shot looks very similar to the 2011 Dodge Durango interior (see below) – and includes the updated Dodge crosshair logo. Dodge cays buyers can look forward to such touches as a new thick-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, Uconnect Touch infotainment system and duel climate controls.

This year the R/T will come with all-wheel-drive, 19-inch wheels and a segment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle disconnect system to improve fuel economy by up to five percent. Engine choices include the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with four-cylinder mode FuelSaver Technology.

Safety and security features available on the Charger include adaptive-cruise control with forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross path detection and a rear back-up camera with grid lines. The Charger will be built in Brampton, Ontario, and is expected in dealerships later this year. Hopefully soon, since October is already half over. The new police package is available now for law enforcement agencies.

“Dodge proudly introduces the Viper ACR-X, a combination of the record-setting, street-legal Viper ACR and the championship-winning Viper Competition Coupe. The Viper ACR-X utilizes the 600 horsepower ACR as a starting point and with the aid of headers and a low-restriction exhaust system pushes it to a pavement-pounding 640 horsepower. The suspension is upgraded and tuned solely for the track, optimizing its performance on the toughest road courses. Additional aerodynamic upgrades improve downforce, help stability and improve grip in high-speed corners.”

Come on, don’t let $100,000 scare you away from a Viper ACR-X. It’s actually $30,000 off a Viper Competition Coupe. ACR-X will most certainly become a rare collector’s item once Dodge cuts production of Viper in the near future. So get yours now fellas and ladies – or at least enjoy the gawking.

Building on the already solid Challenger base, the series-numbered cars will come with red-anodized HARD-DRIVE pistol grip Hurst shifters, 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum Hurst wheels with polished lips and graphite gray spoke insets and red Hurst logo centers.

An Air-Speed rear deck spoiler, Hurst/Eibach suspension, and Hurst/Magnaflow exhaust are intended to make the most of the car’s looks and performance. Inside, the custom Hurst Challengers get black leather interior from Katzkin, plus red inserts, top-stitching and logos. A full complement of Hurst logos in the dash, grille, fender graphics and floor mats wraps up the package.
