Chrysler’s SRT brand will be fielding three entries in the Targa Newfoundland road rally, but the cars won’t just be competing to win: together, they will race to raise $50,000 for the Autism Society of Newfoundland and Labrador.
SRT’s three teams will include a race-prepped 640 horsepower 2010 Viper SRT10 piloted by Chrsyler exec Ralph Gilles and Jen Horsey, a stock 2012 Challenger SRT8 392 in the hands of comedian George Notaras and Nick Chambers and, finally, a specially prepared 2008 Challenger SRT8.
The Targa Newfoundland road rally covers 1367 miles of challenging public roads and will take eight days to complete after its start on September 10th.
Chrysler has entered a 300C SRT8, Dodge Charger SRT8, Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Dodge Caliber SRT4 as well as several Challengers in prior Targa events. Last year, the company fielded a restored ‘70s Dodge Dart muscle car driven by previous winners Roy Hopkins and Adrienne Hughes.
