Back in 1999, Dodge shook up the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit with the introduction of the Dodge Charger R/T Concept. While the Charger nameplate had been important during the 1960s and 1970s, the nameplate had been absent from the brand’s portfolio since the last turbocharged 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger rolled off the production line at the Belvidere, Illinois. Now while the 1999 concept showed a more modern take to return to the original Charger’s past of rear-wheel-drive, it introduced a four-door layout to the nameplate for the first time ever.

I really wanna see the next generation Charger keeping the side profile and the rear design of the concept, as it was rumored.
The tachometer, 3 pedals and pistol grip are some of the stuffs that should carry to the next generation Charger.

One of the most beautiful cars ever made and I was the proud owner of a 1970 R/T SE Charger. So when someone tries to come up with a new Charger design inevitably it is compared to the old Charger and ends up as a fail. That is not to say that this concept is ugly..it isn't..just tough to come up with something to match the originals' beauty.
