Dodge
Challenger A/T Untamed Concept
Here is the Dodge
Challenger A/T Untamed concept, this is a digital rendering of a currently
non-existent vehicle.
But there is
a glimmer of hope, Joey Ruiter, the man who designed the concept is a fairly
prolific automotive fabricator. Having
scratch-built a wide assortment of vehicles, ranging from electric-powered off-road
buggys and motorcycles, to boats and personal water craft. So if anyone can
make it a reality, he can. In fact he’s begun work on a kit which could
transform stock Challengers into formidable all-terrain beasts.
The Dodge
Challenger A/T Untamed concept is based on a 2015 Dodge Challenger. Extensive
modifications have been devised which would turn the car into a highly capable
off-roader. Chassis upgrades include:
• Long travel
front suspension arms
• Rear
trailing arm with links
• Body armor
with rock sliders
• Front skid
plate
•
Repositioned exhaust
In order to
cope with the significantly larger wheel and tire sizes, as well as the
inhospitable terrain on which the Challenger A/T Untamed might well find
itself, the bodywork has also been redesigned and given some additional
features. Changes include wider arches with new inner wheel arches, an
integrated lower light bar, spare tire mount, off-road tool storage
compartment, additional safety equipment, and a graphics package with A/T
logos.
While the
recently revealed 707 horsepower Challenger Hellcat combined with the A/T
Untamed kit conjures up some delicious possibilities. Ruiter actually thinks a
tuned version of the base Challenger’s V6 would be a better option.
Although as
the transformation actually has very little to do with the drivetrain, except
for exhaust repositioning, any current engine/drivetrain combo currently
offered by Dodge should be possible.
