Dodge Challenger Designers Michael Castiglione & Alan Barrington
It’s been a long road for the Dodge Challenger concept from it’s early days as just a sketch on paper to it’s debut in February at the Chicago auto show as a full fledged production vehicle. The concept Started back in 2004 when Chrysler put together a group designers including Michael Castiglione and Alan Barrington to come up with a muscle car design on the LX platform.
The designers Michael Castiglione and Alan Barrington of the Pacifica studio gave interviews in a three part series talking about how the concept came about to what you will see in February of 2008 at the Chicago auto show. Part 2 and Part 3 are after the jump. Enjoy…
Part 2: They Discuss the inspirations of the concept along with how they picked HEMI Orange for the concepts exterior color.
Part 3: They talk about the “minds eye” of the classic muscle car and how they related it to the current Challenger.
