3. Dodge Charger III Concept
The success of the Charger inspired Chrysler`s designers to develop the idea of a Dodge performance model. The original Charger had power, performance, and countless racing wins but it was still a big, heavy and not very aerodynamic muscle machine. The 1968 Charger III concept was something very different.
The Charger III was no longer a muscle car, but a pure two-seater sports machine. It had compact dimensions, low profile, lightweight and several very unusual features. There were no conventional doors, but the whole top of the car opened and allowed access to the interior. The steering column tilted along with the steering wheel to make entry more comfortable. On the back of the car, there were massive airbrakes similar to the ones on the airplanes which deployed under heavy braking. The whole car was extremely futuristic and that doomed it from any real production.
