A reinterpretation of the iconic 1970s classic, the Challenger will be unveiled in powerful SRT8 guise, sourcing power from a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 engine generating 425bhp and 420lb-ft. of torque.

Performance targets for the Challenger SRT8 include a 0-60 mph time in the low five second range and a quarter mile time of less than 14 seconds. Brembo four-piston brake calipers are said to stop the 20-inch wheels spinning in approximately 100 feet from 60 mph.

The car will certainly draw crowds, and we'll be there to bring you the latest right from the show floor. Be sure to read our opinions and see our own unique hi-res photos of this car and others in our Chicago Auto Show Highlights later this week.
