Dodge Charger Funny Car ・ Photo by Megan Green
Mopar is a significant presence annually at SEMA, and 2014 saw a considerable array of performance and specialty vehicles from the Chrysler range on the show floor. Every year on the first day of SEMA, Mopar begins their press conference at 4:26 pm in honor of the Chrysler 426 HEMI engine. This year, attendees were surprised by Mopar revealing a Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car, the result of a collaborative effort between Mopar, Dodge, and Don Schumacher Racing. Lighter than the current funny car that has won 68 national titles, the drag racer will begin competing in NHRA races starting in February 2015.
Decked out in Sublime Green with 70’s-inspired T/A graphics in matte black, the Challenger T/A Concept features an air-cooled 6.4 liter 392 HEMI engine, LED headlamps and coordinating matte black aluminum wheels.

Another Fiat in a long line of special edition Fiats, the 500L Custom is also two-tone in red and black. Many of the upgrades are aesthetic, and while lowered, the only other performance enhancements are the concept chin splitter and cat back exhaust.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat generates a bombastic 707 horsepower from the 6.2 liter HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine. If you need anything else after that, it can get up to speeds of 199 mph, has real-time track data, a reconfigurable digital cluster, performance leather seats, and classic Challenger design cues are retained.

If a sedan that can go a quarter of a mile in 11 seconds is more your speed, the Charger is also offered in Hellcat form. Requiring Brembo six-piston brakes, they are the largest brakes in the Chrysler line-up. It comes with two key fobs - pick the red fob for ALL the horsepower.
