Since you've probably had it with all those Dodge Challenger concepts, we present the 2008 Concept ‘Cuda. That’s right, no brand needed, just a really bright orange paint job and some 22-inch wheels. It’s pretty much the same as the Challenger underneath the skin, but in this case the skin is carbon fiber instead of that old rusty steel stuff. There’s a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 underneath the hood of course and a pistol grip shifter too. Six-piston Brembo brakes reside up front and the rear tires are meaty 305/35 Pirelli PZeros. It’s almost enough to make you wish Plymouth was still around. Almost. -- Ed Hellwig, Senior Editor, Inside Line
