“Over the last decade, we’ve customized an impressive group of vehicles with exclusive Mopar performance parts and accessories that our enthusiast customers crave,” said Mark Bosanac, Head of Mopar Service, Parts & Customer Care, FCA – North America. “This year we’re commemorating our tenth Mopar build with another unique and collectible Dodge Challenger, which continues to be the modern muscle car every bit as beloved today as the first generation vehicle was 50 years ago.”
Mopar ’19 Exterior
Available in either Pitch Black or White Knuckle, the Mopar ’19 Challenger builds upon the popular R/T Scat Pack model with a variety of head-turning exterior touches. Most noticeable is the unique Mopar Shakedown graphics, accented with asymmetrical Mopar Blue center stripes that run from the top of the front fascia to the rear decklid spoiler.
The popular Shaker Hood package by Mopar provides a hint of vintage styling with an active, air-gulping scoop flanked with Shaker badges on both sides. Functional black hood pins provide a classic look. Out back, the rear decklid spoiler carries a unique Mopar Design badge.
Standard 20-inch x 9-inch forged aluminum wheels riding on Goodyear P245/45ZR20 performance tires are enhanced with genuine Mopar-branded center caps and valve stem caps. Mopar wheel locks are standard.
Mopar ’19 Performance
The potent 392-cubic inch HEMI® V-8 engine pumps out 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. A standard six-speed manual transmission makes a powerful heritage statement that enhances the base Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack, while a quick-shifting TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission is optional.
A Mopar cold air intake delivers performance-enhancing airflow to the engine. Mopar strut tower braces help increase structural rigidity of the chassis for sharper handling. The braces and strut caps are silver-coated to dress up the underhood appearance.
Stopping power is provided by Brembo four-wheel disc performance brakes with red calipers.
Mopar ’19 Interior
Performance front cloth seats wear a two-tone Mopar logo embroidered into the seat backs for a touch of attitude. A custom Mopar ’19 instrument panel badge adorns the passenger-side air vent. Completing the standard interior accessories are premium Berber floor mats and polished door-sill guards with the Challenger logo.
Owner’s Kit
The Mopar ’19 is delivered with an exclusive Owner’s Kit, packaged with a “birth certificate” with the exact date of manufacture and the proprietary build number. Also included is an exclusive full-color Mopar ’19 booklet, a unique keepsake with engraved vehicle number and a Mopar ’19 rendering produced by the Mopar design team.
Decade of Customization
The Mopar ’19 Dodge Challenger joins an exclusive club as the 10th limited-edition, Mopar-modified vehicle delivered straight from the factory. This limited production run will include 100 units – 90 vehicles for the U.S market and 10 vehicles for Canada.
In 2010, Mopar produced the first of an ongoing series of limited-edition vehicles, the Mopar ’10 Dodge Challenger. Other low-run, factory-produced Mopar rides have followed: the Mopar ’11 Dodge Charger, Mopar ’12 Chrysler 300, Mopar ’13 Dodge Dart, Mopar ’14 Dodge Challenger, Mopar ’15 Dodge Charger R/T, Mopar ’16 Ram Rebel, Mopar ’17 Dodge Challenger and Mopar ’18 Dodge Durango. Since 2010 Mopar has produced more than 4,000 exclusive edition models.
With a starting U.S. MSRP of $45,835, dealer orders for the Mopar ’19 Dodge Challenger open in September 2019. Vehicles are expected to begin arriving in dealerships in the fourth quarter 2019.
