How do you get a 5.7 Hemi to make 700 HP? With a whopping great big supercharger, that's how. But don't worry, the rest of the SMS 570X Challenger has been suitably beefed up, too.
Steve Saleen and his company SMS are well on the way to production with the first vehicle in
the line of Signature Series ultra-high performance vehicles. The SMS 570 Challenger will
be the first vehicle with a host of aesthetic and functional innovations including the patented
SMS Red Butterfly Induction™ hood and a full compliment of SMS ultra-high performance
components including: drivetrain, suspension, aerodynamics, tires, wheels and interior.Steve Saleen presents the SMS 570 Challenger
The fully certified and street legal SMS 570 Challenger and SMS 570X Challenger will be
based off the 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T platform and will feature a SMS designed and
engineered SMS 296 Supercharger atop the 5.7L Hemi, with power ratings from 500 to over
700 horsepower respectively.Steve Saleen presents the SMS 296 Supercharger
The MSRP's for the 2009 SMS 570 Challenger and SMS 570X Challenger are targeted to
start at $64,870 to $84,970 respectively with production commencing in 2008. Both models
