Dodge Challenger with suicide doors

AT the recently held Auto Salon Tokyo, many exciting concepts and production models could be seen, and one of the most interesting creations was presented by the Japanese tuner Coast Motoring, the Dodge Challenger with suicide doors.

The car received a body kit that includes a redesigned front fascia in a retro-modern style reminiscent of the Charger EV Concept, a new black grill, unique air intakes and black components around the new LED headlights, a new hood with a large opening for cooling the engine compartment. Compared to the standard Dodge Challenger, this example has widened wheel arches, chrome side exhaust pipes, massive rims, a new lip spoiler, darkened taillights, and a new bumper and diffuser.

Inside, the carbon sports seats are covered in blue leather that also covers the armrest, rear seat steering wheel and pillars, while the door panels are covered in a combination of blue and black leather.

It is not known if there were any changes under the hood. The standard Dodge Challenger is powered by a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 with 797 hp (594 kW) and 707 lb-ft (960 Nm) of torque.

2024 Hyundai Kona Electric N Line

After a long period of testing, Hyundai has finally premiered its first BEV to receive the N Line treatment, the Hyundai Kona Electric N Line. Production for the European market starts in February, and the first deliveries are expected in a few months.

The sporty car received new side skirts, gloss black side mirror housings, new front and rear bumpers, and new 19-inch wheels as part of the N Line program. There’s no split roof spoiler at the rear, which was seen on a prototype last month, but hopes remain that it will be available as an option.

The dark interior of the car is decorated with subtle red lighting, on the dashboard and doors, comfortable seats that provide enough space for five passengers. Three red lines and an “N” logo are embroidered on the backrest of the front seats. European buyers can choose leather and Eco Alcantara seats (optional) with the more expensive N Line S equipment package, which offers a Bose premium sound system with seven speakers and subwoofers, full-length LED lighting, LED headlights and a safety and driver assistance system.

When it comes to the powertrain, the most powerful version will be powered by an electric motor with 201 hp (150 kW), combined with a 64.8 kWh battery pack.
