The Hurst name has long been synonymous with American muscle, and the Pennsylvania company intends to get back to its roots with the 2009 Hurst/Hemi Challenger. The tuned Mopar promises plenty of go-fast goodies and is slated to debut at this November’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
Created in the same vein as the Hurst/Olds 442 of the late 1960s, the Hurst/Hemi Challenger will be offered in four different performance guises. The base trim will add about $10,000 to the price of a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 while the range-topping model will tack on another $20,000 but bring output to an even 500 horsepower, thanks to a supercharged.
Other features include a unique paint job, custom wheels, and of course Hurst’s legendary “Pistol-Grip†shifter.
The limited edition Challenger will be available through Dodge dealers and is slated to begin production in early 2009.
