Geiger Car’s love affair with Detroit muscle continues with the German market launch of the limited run 2011 Dodge Challenger ST8 392 Inaugural Edition, of which only 1,492 examples are to be built. There is no word on how many cars Geiger Car’s managed to secure for the German market, but the starting price has been set at €55,000, which comes to around US$77,800 at the current exchange rates.
Under the hood of the latest Challenger SRT8 392 lies a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 delivering 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, matched to either a standard five-speed automatic transmission with Auto Stick or an available Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual gearbox. Dodge says the most powerful version of the Challenger series has an estimated top speed of 282 km/h (175 mph) and can complete the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in the high 4-second range, and quarter mile in the high 12-second range.
On top of the standard SRT8’s features, the ‘392’ gains exclusive exterior and interior content including 20-inch wheels, Mopar quad exhaust tips, aero parts and a two-tone leather interior. Buyers will have the choice of two colors -Deep Water Blue with Stone White stripes or Bright White Clear Coat with Viper Blue stripes.

American beauty
It's nice but way too much for the amount of cheap plastic I see.
why offset the license plate?
Be very suprised if any Germans would pay 55,000 euros when they can buy a BMW 1 series M.
Even Americans are not buying these retro duds.
Tell me what company Chrysler outsells counting cars, not vans and trucks.
yep, that interior was beaten with the ugly stick.
It always comes back to comparison - which other better cars can be purchased for that value...
Geiger had nice cars prior to this, why just bring over a stock 392? Don't get me wrong, the stock 392 IE is a great car, but Geiger has put out some great cars in the past.
Stickers, emblems, paint and plastic, American idea of a great road car.
Americans whatch too much porn,always faking it.
try one and you become addicted. love muscle car.
Her price is phenomenal!!!! She's as expensive as the Mercedes E350 sedan powered by 306bhp 3.5-litres V6, not too far from the parallel-importing Lexus IS350(306bhp) from US, costing about 50000-euro.
As a whole, the HEMI V8-powered Chrysler LX/LY family is the incarnation of superb performance for money balance, as the previous-generation Dodge Charger R/T(340bhp) posts 1/4 mile in mere 13.32sec(as fast as the BMW550i of 367-407hp) in stock guise(according to a homepage article of "13 Second 1-4 Mile Club").
Along with it, the Dodge Charger R/T 2009 accelerates 1/4 mile in 13.4sec on wet surface(according to "dragtimes.com"); indicating 13sec-flat on dry surface would be possible, that's almost miraculous for 370bhp stock engine(as fast as the 431bhp Maserati Grand-Turismo).
The biggest brother of HEMI-family, sitting above the R/T version, the SRT8 392 Charger/Challenger are "AMG-challengers for hoi-polloi", their presence is second to none.
