Till now, Dodge has only revealed teaser shots of their 2009 Challenger SRT-8, but now some photos of the entire car have been leaked onto the internet.
The first set of cars to be built will only be the SRT-8 version with the 425 hp Hemi V8 that is found in every other SRT-8 models. They will only be available with an automatic for the first year. Reports suggest the following year will see the introduction of the R/T with a 340 hp V8 and an SXT with a 250 hp V6. All models will have a five-speed automatic gearbox, but reports also suggest that all the versions might get some sort of a manual gearbox as well.
