Charger RT
There have been a number
of vehicles bearing the Charger nameplate,
but the name has generally denoted a performance
model in the Dodge range. The current Chargers
are rear wheel drive sedans.
In 1999, Dodge came
out with a new Charger R/T concept car. It
took many styling cues from the 1960s Chargers
(most notably the second generation) but also
had four doors. The designers attempted to
blend the rear doors into the design so they
would not be noticed very easily. Compressed
natural gas was purported as being in the
lineup for a possible fuel source. 1999
Charger R/T concept - RearThe concept Charger
R/T, while sharing the long nose and rearward
cab of the original, was a good deal shorter.
It was 187 inches in overall length compared
to 203 inches for the 1966 Charger. It was
also lighter; 3,000 lb versus 3,650 lb.
