Furious Fuchsia treatment is mostly visual and includes Pearl Coat exterior paint and all-new Pearl White leather performance seats with Dark Slate Gray and Furious Fuchsia French-seamed stitching as a factory-installed option for the R/T, while the SRT8 gets all-new Pearl White leather SRT performance seats with Furious Fuchsia accented stripe, unique 20-inch SRT forged-aluminum wheels with Satin Black accents, serialized dash plaque indicating the limited production series of 400 and retro-inspired chromed quad-exhaust tips.

The performance-related upgrades include the performance-minded Track Pak with precision-shift “pistol-grip” shifter, anti-spin 3.92 differential and a performance-tuned dual exhaust with two low-restriction bottle resonators for maximum “throatiness.”
Pricing starts at $35,140 for the 376 Dodge Challenger R/T and $45,150 for the 425 hp Challenger SRT8.
