Dodge revived the Challenger in 2008 as a rear-wheel-drive coupe with styling strongly influenced by the 1970 original.
The Challenger name returned from 1978 to 1983 on a smaller four-cylinder model very different from the 1970 muscle car.
The first-generation Dodge Challenger was introduced in autumn 1969 for the 1970 model year.
The Challenger's 2015 refresh introduced design details inspired by the 1971 model.
For the 1970 model year, the Challenger was offered as a coupe and convertible, with the performance-oriented R/T also in the range.
