The Appeal

The Challenger SRT8 Coupé is exactly the sort of no-holes-barred, full fat muscle car that should be coming out of the United States. A welcome Tesla antidote, this 6.1-litre Hemi V8-engined monster is all about straight-line speed while making as much noise (and tyres smoke) as physically possible. Count us in.

This 2010 example looks particularly menacing in black. We're informed that it was a US home market example, later exported to the UAE and now in Europe, following which all duties and VAT have been paid.

The vendor states that the car comes with a clean CARFAX report, providing peace of mind regarding its history. All that's left is for the next owner to register the Challenger in their country of choice.
