In-game description[]

"The ultra-popular model of the 1st generation Charger, powered by a 440 ci Magnum V8."

Elwood Engel replaced Virgil Exner, the charismatic designer who lead Chrysler, in the 1950s, and went on to develop many cars. The Dodge Charger, which made its debut in 1966, was his masterpiece.

The Charger underwent a full model change in 1968. From the very outset, it was an unprecedented specialty car for its time, being only available in a hard top with no convertible model. This held true for the new model as well.

The 440 R/T name was given to the fastest sports model of the Charger. With the 375 HP, 440CI, OHV V8 Magnum unit as the base engine, an optional 426 Hemi producing 419 HP was offered. A Six-Pack option with three 2 barrel carburetors was also later offered as an option, but very little of either was ever produced.

In 1969, a version called the 500 Daytona was added. Equipped with a massive rear wing and elongated nose, and even an aerodynamic rear window section, it had a significantly distinctive style. This is due to the fact that it was a special homologation model for stock car racing, of which the maximum speeds were approaching 200 mph.

There was also a Charger 500 base model without the extended nose and rear wing, but because most of these were converted on the spot to the Daytona model immediately after delivery to the dealers, there are none known that still exist.
