Dodge Charger 2006 Specs
The Dodge Charger NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race car, with its aggressive
styling and bold crosshair grille, was developed with as much attitude
as with powerful performance and winning innovation. From its Viper-like
headlamps to the style of its rear-end fascia and signature quarter
windows, the Dodge Charger race car shares many popular design cues with
the production 2006 Dodge Charger that hit Dodge dealers showrooms in
2005.
New for the 2006 season, the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Dodge Charger stock car
is faster, more powerful and more aerodynamic than ever before.
Continuous improvements from advanced engineering and technological
innovation will help give the Dodge an edge for the 2006 season.
The development of the race car was led by Dodge Motorsports Engineering
with the support of each of Dodge’s primary Nextel Cup Series teams:
Evernham Motorsports, Petty Enterprises, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix
Sabates and Penske Racing South.
