Dodge Challenger brought via Carnet does DONUTS in a parking lot [Video]

We all have seen the popular American muscle car, Dodge Challenger, in numerous movies. We have especially seen it being driven by Vin Diesel in the Fast and Furious movie franchise. However, recently, a video showing a Dodge Challenger in India has been shared online. The owner of this Challenger mentions that he has brought it via Carnet from Dubai. He also reveals the price and modifications done on this car.

Dodge Challenger 5.7 Hemi V8

This video of the Dodge Challenger brought via carnet has been shared on YouTube by King Indian on their channel. It starts with the presenter introducing the owner of this particular Challenger muscle car. He first asks the owner about the model of his car. To this, the owner mentions that this is a 2023 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack with 5.7-liter Hemi V8.

However, it has to be mentioned that the owner has wrongly described his car. In reality, the company does not offer the Scat Pack with a 5.7-liter V8. Instead, the company offers the 5.7-liter V8 in the R/T variant. The Challenger Scat Pack comes powered by a 6.4-liter SRT Hemi V8 engine.

The owner then states that this car has also been given a few modifications. The list of which includes a Hellcat-inspired bonnet with twin air scoops. He states that he has also added an air filter and a full custom titanium valvetronic exhaust system as well. He then mentions that in total this car makes around 600 bhp. For those who may not be aware of the Dodge Challenger, they might believe what the owner has said.

However, in reality, this car most likely does not make anywhere near 600 bhp. The reason for that is the R/T variant, which comes with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, makes around 375 bhp and 555 Nm of torque. Now, even with the modifications listed by the owner, most likely it cannot make around 600 bhp.

How did the owner bring this car to India?

Following the introduction and details of the vehicle, the presenter asks the owner how did he bring the car to India. To this, the owner replies that he brought this Challenger via the Carnet route.

He states that he had to import it via Carnet as the Dodge Challenger only comes in left-hand drive configuration. And to legally register a car in India, it needs to have a right-hand side driving layout. He added that it costed him around Rs 12-15 lakh to import it via Carnet.

The owner adds that the Carnet route only allows the car to stay in India for 6 months. After this, he mentions that the car has to be taken back to the country of origin. In this case, the owner imported the car from Dubai. He added that in total this car costs him around Rs 2.5 crore in India.

During the interview, the owner reveals that he has a luxury car rental service in Dubai. For this, he constantly has to travel from India to Dubai, and he brought this Dodge Challenger for fun. He adds that he currently owns 7 cars in India and 75 cars in Dubai.
