Inside, the standard leather seats feature an exclusive Stinger Yellow accent
band with embroidered Yellow Jacket logo and silver accent stitching. The
driver's seat also features a full adjustable lumbar position with seatback
tilt, memory and an easy-to-reach release handle, while the front-passenger seat
adds tilt and slide with memory, which makes it even easier for passengers to
get in and out of the back seat.
"The Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket adds another piece of performance car
nostalgia to our rear-drive muscle coupe lineup in 2012," said Ralph Gilles,
President and CEO - SRT Brand and Motorsports. "The Stinger Yellow paint and
interior accents speak directly to the performance enthusiast who appreciates a
memorable and collectible color that helps deliver even more excitement and
exclusivity."
The original Dodge "Yellow Jacket" show car, which evolved from the 1970
Challenger, was shown at various auto show exhibits beginning in late 1969.
Painted pearlescent Honey Gold, the roadster was powered by the 426-cubic inch
HEMI V-8 and carried a number of the famous Dodge "Scat Pack" performance
features, such as a unique front spoiler, wider tires, heavy-duty suspension and
brakes, and manual transmission, along with the Rallye instrument cluster and
shaker hood.
The 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 accelerates from 0-60 mph in the high
4-second range; runs the quarter mile in mid-12-second range with the automatic
transmission (high 12-second range with the manual); goes from 0-100-0 mph in
the low 15s, reaches a top speed of 182 mph with the manual transmission (175
mph with the automatic).
A limited number of 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket models will be
built for the U.S. market. All Dodge Challenger models are built at the Brampton
Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
The Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket will be available for ordering in December
at Dodge dealerships nationwide and will be arriving in U.S. dealer showrooms in
the first quarter of 2012.
