GT5 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

Today's vehicle is another pony car, the GT5 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T (and the GT6 1970 Dodge Challenger R/N is here).


In Hemi-Orange, it is parked here at Ahrweiler Gate, one of the GT5 photo travel locations.


Although a pony car too, the first-gen Dodge Challenger was late to the pony car party started by the Ford Mustang and joined by the Camaro and Pontiac Firebird some two years earlier. It was also the shortest lived pony car in its original form. Yet it was probably the most potent of all pony cars with a choice of eight engines, two body styles and endless option packs.


The 1970 Challenger is the cream of the crop closely followed by the 1971 Challenger (so they write and I read somewhere). The 73- and 74 Challengers? Not so good.


The R/T was the top performance model, with R/T standing for Road/Track.


The first-gen Dodge Challenger was discontinued after the 1974 model year.


By the way, the second generation Dodge Challenger was a completely different eighties car - the Mitsubishi Gallant Lambda with the Dodge badge. I wonder if I can find it in GT5 or 6. If I do I'll make some pictures.












Gran Turismo should work on the insides of the wheels.
