2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline adds more muscle for the money

Dodge – in true American fashion – has added another limited run model to the uproarious Challenger muscle car: the R/T Redline.

Dodge starts off by taking the regular R/T model and adding a few extra bits, making the iconic American muscle car that much more distinctive.

No, the R/T Redline doesn’t have any more power than the standard R/T. Designers left the 375-horsepower HEMI V8 under the hood alone and messed about with the exterior.

The R/T Redline is offered in four body colors: Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White, and Pitch Black. No matter the body color, Dodge adds a two-tone red and graphite racing stripe along the body with a “Redline” badge incorporated near the rear-end of the car. Further separating it from the rest of the Challenger line, Dodge includes a body-color front grille surround.

Of course Dodge didn’t stop there with the factory customizations. Designers bolted on 20-inch “Black Chrome” wheels featuring a red lip and inner backbone for extra visual pop. For extra performance, customers can also specify the “Super Track Pack,” which includes Goodyear Eagle F1 P245/45R20 three-season performance tires, high-performance brake linings, and a lowered ride height.

On the interior of the R/T Redline, Dodge offers a Dark Slate Gray interior with “Dark Slate Gray” performance seats, or premium Nappa leather performance seats in “Radar Red” or “Dark Slate Gray.”

So if you’re thinking Dodge has simply invented an inexpensive way to reinvigorate its only muscle car, you’re right. But for a measly extra $1,995, you could do a lot worse for a distinguishing options package.

The Ford E-Transit makes it easy for companies to go electric
White Ford E-Transit electric van

Consumer electric cars are all the rage right now, with great new models releasing on a regular basis. But perhaps just as interesting as what's happening in the consumer space is what's happening in the commercial EV space. We've seen splashy headlines related to Rivian's deal with Amazon, for example, but the commercial space can be a little more rigid, especially when it comes to businesses who have done things one way for years, and aren't quite ready to make a big shift. That's where the Ford E-Transit comes in.

I have to admit, driving the E-Transit for a week was a bit of a shift for me. I'm used to driving new EVs, but few of them are as large or as utilitarian as the E-Transit. That, however, just might be the point.
A frictionless switch
The concept behind the E-Transit is simple -- make switching to an electric vehicle as seamless and as simple as possible.
