The new car Mopar has just unveiled its new 2009 Mopar Drift Dodge Challenger at the 2008 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas. Also, the two-time Formula Drift champion Samuel Hubinette, who will steer the Mopar Drift Dodge Challenger during the 2009 season, will participate in this event. The most-anticipated Mopar Drift Dodge Challenger at SEMA continues Mopar’s long commitment to the rising motorsport of drifting.

“The debut of the Mopar Drift Dodge Challenger solidifies the Mopar theme — if you can dream it, you can build it with Mopar,” said Steve Shugg, Director of Sales and Marketing – Mopar, Chrysler LLC. “Mopar is reaching out to today’s car enthusiast by combining its storied racing heritage with a variety of performance and accessory products that allow customers to make a personal statement with their vehicle.”

The creation of this car was no easy task for Carlson and his NuFormz Racing crew.

Both the Pontiac G8 GXP and the LSX454 has a crate engine from GM Performance Parts and are ready for 2009. Also, the GM engineers have no other way to highlight this ferocious street monster. In the factory, the G8 GXP features a 6.2L V-8 rated at 415 lb –ft of torque, but the new LSX454 delivers a 7.4 liter of unadulterated cough. The handling and stopping performance of this car are forwarded with a lowered ride height, stiffer springs and a disc brake package borrowed from the Cadillac CTS-V.

The calipers are painted red and featured CNC-milled GXP logos that are visible with a set of customer 20-inch aluminum wheels with a wicked black chrome touch. The exterior of the silver G8 GXP Street concept wears a custom front and a rear fascias and a new rocker panel that gives it a more unique look. Given the face that this is a racing car, there is also a performance exhaust system with custom-cut aluminum tip exiting through the rear fascia. Overall, this car is a menacing car and it has the system to back up the attitude.
