Return of a classic American muscle car

The Dodge Challenger SRT-8: the latest retro remake of an American classic

Price: $40,095 (on sale US only). Engine: 6.1-litre V8. Power: 425bhp. 0-60mph: 4.9 seconds. Top speed: 174mph.

Muscle cars are about as "politically correct as Bernard Manning in a Nazi uniform", says Channel4.com, but that hasn't stopped America's big three carmakers reviving them. The Dodge Challenger SRT-8 is the latest retro remake, and just a picture of it "will prompt tree huggers to knit letters of protest". So it "should tick all the right boxes for most car enthusiasts".
