Over in the States the 2010 Mopar Challenger arrived last year and proved an instant hit. Mopar fans went crazy for the machine and with Chrysler only offering 500 copies of the model, they sold out rapidly. Now in 2011, the all-new Dodge Charger is filling up Dodge showrooms around America, and Chrysler aren’t going to miss a trick by not giving some special vehicles a Mopar makeover.

As a signal of intent, Chrysler has released a first teaser sketch of its forthcoming special edition model. The rendering shows off a black and blue color scheme similar to that of the Challenger, but the side stripes have been replaced with a stripe that stretches across the bonnet, roof and boot. The Mopar team has also dropped the bulbous hood scoop for the model, opting for a more streamlined appearance. (more…)

It hasn’t happened overnight, but it has happened, the next installment in the Fast and Furious film franchise is fully wrapped up. Named Fast 5, this latest action/automotive movie brings together familiar faces from previous movies including Vin Diesel as ex-con Dom Toretto, Paul Walker as former cop Brian O’Conner, and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, as well as some new characters such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who plays the role of federal agent Luke Hobbs.

This time the story heads to Rio De Janeiro in Brazil where there is a generous dose of action, chase scenes and rap-video-hot girls in bikinis. The film is set to be released over in the States on April 29, 2011. Expect it to reach our cinemas shortly after.
