Steve Salin who left company Saleen and has formed new studio with laconic name SMS, has lately paid attention to "pony" from Dodge. Working in Saleen, Steve tuning basically "Mustangs", but now the legendary tuner does not hasten to represent projects on the basis of new 2010 Ford Mustang. Salin finishes modern models Challenger of corporation Chrysler. Until recently the novelty from SMS under the name 570X Challenger existed only in sketches, then there were studio photos, but, in this month the car was lighted on auto-show in New York.
Appearance of the car differs : new spoiler, other radiator enclosure of the GTX-style, the alternative tail lights, new bumper, mouldings and a new cowl, and also the chromeplated 20-inch disks. The basic difference from a factory variant – presence of the 700-strong high-efficiency power unit. Certainly, owing to a gain of such capacity, have been modernised not only some knots of the engine, but also transmission, and also system of cooling V8. Capacity in 700 h.p. manages to be received on installation facilities of mechanical supercharger SMS 296 on the 6-litre motor with system Six-Pack. The novelty price is not informed yet.
