When we were kids playing with our Hot Wheels, we dreamt about growing up and designing cool cars one day. For Mark Trostle who is Head of Design for SRT, Mopar® & Motorsports, that dream became a reality. Mark is a second generation automotive designer and was bitten by the car bug at a young age. He’s been involved in some fun projects including the Challenger, Charger and even the next generation Viper. We recently had a chance to corner him in our design studios to find out more about how he turned his passion for cars into a great career as an automotive designer.
Command the street in a vehicle built with every small nuance, every minute detail, designed to transform your mundane drive home into a one-man car show.
The canvas of the Mopar® ‘10 R/T package begins with a Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat. You choose the accent: Mopar Blue, Red or Silver, and your personal theme is carried through the interior with matched seat and steering wheel stitching. Every passerby will know that you’re driving a true performance machine, as Mopar is prominent throughout the exterior: Mopar-branded hood pin caps, hood graphic, fuel door and fascia badge. Plus, every owner receives a Mopar ’10 R/T Owner’s Kit with heritage parts and a book that outlines the special vehicle build and specification data, as well as a limited-edition sketch of the vehicle signed by Chrysler Group design chief MarkTrostle and Mopar ’10 merchandise.
PERFORMANCE PERFECTION
The Mopar ’10 Dodge Challenger R/T package comes jam-packed with the authentic performance of Mopar.
The Mopar ’10 R/T is built with a Mopar Cold Air Intake System, which picks up air directed from the performance hood scoop through a new Mopar hood venting system. Handling is improved by the addition of Mopar’s front and rear strut tower braces. Add in a fully-functional T/A style hood with vintage Mopar hood pins, and its 20” forged black finished wheels, and suddenly you’re sitting behind the wheel of a speed demon.
Mopar and Dodge have produced an enthusiast’s dream-come-true. Ask your local dealer how you can possess this limited editon Mopar ’10 Dodge Challenger R/T.
