Wow if they were to really make this car, I wouldn't mind owning one. It's probably the best concept car I've seen that's supposed to represent a muscle car, especially the Cuda, my all-time favorite muscle car! Mopar 4 Life!
@DIRTPUNKZ86 The Challenger and Cuda were both the E-body style back in the day. The Challenger is a little longer and the body lines are different. Just like in the video, the Cuda has a straight body line down the side of the car, the Challengers body line swoops up just ahead of the rear tires. There are slight differences in the old cars, and they made those same slight differences in the new ones. They did it to perfection if you really look at the details.
The classics will never be beat, but I do like this. Aside from those fucking rims. I hate how all new cars have such low profile tires and big rims. It is not practical, and in my opinion looks like shit. What happened to the days when muscle cars weren't just glorified tuners? A true muscle car has drag tires and a big engine. Not drift tires and fugly rims.
thats more exciting than the challenger, though similar. does anyone know where the video is of this car being driven around in a parking lot. saw it last year but cant find it now?
the convertible is crap, but otherwise it's not bad. come on guys! it can't replace the original, but for a modern cuda it ain't too bad! I'd fucking take it! I just love american muscle. and I'm from fucking switzerland, where they wanna get rid of such cars. fucking green nerds! as soon as I have enough money: fuck yeah I'm gonna get myself a muscle car from the good old USA!
those are just challengers that some guys turned into cudas using a mustang brakelight bar panel i cant believe that people think this is the new cuda
Damn all these haters....car makers cant legally make car like back in the 60's and 70's so GET THE FUCK OVER IT i mean DAMN at least there trying to make muscle cars they could just say fuck it and just give us all electric junk
@Bullitx357 u do realize back in the day the cuda 70-74 was a Plymouth rebadge if the challenger, essentially. They just changed the front sheet metal(fenders an grille, perhaps a hood) and the tail panel was different. But from the windshield to the trunk, they are identical. I would agree that it wouldn't sell under any name other than Plymouth since who wants a Chrysler Cuda? Not I. Still, wud b pretty sweet If they brout Plymouth back from the dead
@EAGL30NE Wait a minute get your history right... the Barracuda was around for a lot longer than the challenger and if the update to the cuda came at the same time the challanger came out I still wouldn't call it a rebadged challenger.. The Challenger was a rebadged Cuda.
@EAGL30NE You are partially correct, the body lines down the side of the car are completely different, the hood on a challenger goes all the way to the nose, Cudas don't. The rear quarters also "flare" out on a challenger.
Not gonna happen plymouth is out of business plus it resembles the challenger to much mopar wouldnt make a car to rival it b/c it is selling to good no need to mess it up
@MrCarFreak98 OK I see how they disgraced the Charger, they just made a mean- looking sedan and slapped the Charger logo on it, but I don't see what you mean by the Challenger. The Challenger was based completely off of the older Challenger, just with modern touches. Nothing is going to look the same as it did back in the muscle car era.
It's ok, but it's too chunky. The older models were angled towards the bottom somewhat boat like in manner; if a more angled body is made, I think it would elicit a much better response from the general public.
First question:Does ANYONE know how to spell anymore? Second question: Does anyone pay enough attention to know that Chrysler is mostly owned by Fiat now? (hence the Italian insignia in the center of the steering wheel) Third question: Has any of you "GO AMERICAN CARS" people ever wonder why most fasteners on your American car are metric? hmmm, think a little
its just a modded challenger but they were close in remblence, and it does look like a cuda, front and rear but the side needs to be slightly different, to much like the challenger.
@fisheye300 they are trying to honor the classic car, u cant blame them, what are they going to do. make 1970 cudas exactly the same ? that would be the real dishonor.
@fisheye300 Well I think in today's world it does look kind of good. Less massive than Challenger. They should make it a full foot shorter than Chall and lighter. keep the 392 at 475HP a 6 speed manual, and a rag top version. Compare to any Jap crap it looks awsome.
@K3nnyLaGrange Well if this is junk on wheels, then just figure out a way to time travel to the 70's and buy a "real" muscle car. This is 2010. This is what you get.
that's a modified Challenger. but I actually LIKE it. With a little more refining and a beefed up new HEMI engine as standard, Chrysler can take in a lot of mullah and make a lot of MOPAR fans happy at the same time.
I love the "retro muscle" direction I see in the challenger and mustang the only thing that they seem to miss is on the interior. The outside says musclecar but the inside screams sedan to me. All I really want is 2 bucket seats a bench in the back and a stick coming out of the floor, and preferrably attatched to a manual tranny not that autostick nonsense.
Please Chrysler bring back the RoadRunner and the Hemi 'Cuda as a 71 style not the 70 with an oriiginal Hurst pistol grip to match the car's. I promise you will sell more 'Cuda's than Challengers and Chargers put together.
finally we ae showing the rest of the world that Amercian Muscle is back baby move stupid looking european car make way for what you been waiting for the next generation that will American Muscle better
@CHACH208 You didn't happen to notice the Italian insignia in the center of the wheel? Don't forget that Chrysler is mostly owned by Fiat now... gooo america
I'm gonna be honest i dont care for this...or the new challenger...at all. I mean if your going to re-release a car CHANGE IT!! they look damn near identicle except, obviously, wheels and interior... show some imagination dodge!
@burkenberry i understand what you mean but thats the whole point... just my opinion too but, i think the new camaro is too NOT like the old one... sure its similar but i think dodge and for d did a far better job.... again just my opinion
@burkenberry DO you know what happens when dodge shows some imagination they come up with the piece of crap charger. This cuda looks awesome. who cares if it looks the same as the old ones, the old ones were the best!
Love it, but i hate that wack interior! they all look the same(charger, challenger, chrysler). IMO, they should make the inside look vintage as well and add some more chrome to the exterior like the original! No matter what they do, i'll always rather have the 71!
You unintelligent individual! (Plymouth to be precise) PS if you're going to open your mouth, and try to insult someone else, please know what you're talking about before you speak through your fingers. Nice try dummy!
Plymouth was one of Chrysler´s companies which has been closed in 2001 cause they were not able to sell enough cars as far as I know
I´ve also heared they want to bring back Plymouth (BBP) for some new concepts (HEMI Cuda and RoadRunner) but Im not quite sure if Chrysler is even able to do this
however - I could imagine they will bring back the HEMI Cuda and the RoadRunner as Chryslers
@HEMIH3AD pontiac closed their doors but thanks to all the diehard pontiac guys the trans am was brot back to life mopar fans may just be able to do the same
I like this a lot better than the new Challengers. It looks far less fat than the new Challenger. Rather than putting the sleek little old car grille onto a bloated new car, they scale up the grille to make the car look more dimensionally similar to the original. Serious win.
@Brubuck10 highly doubt it, as many say it could just be a modified challenger but the idea of the 'cuda being ressurected, as well as plymouth would be cool for sure
@MovieMakerKeith Ya as I saw on the steering wheel though, the symbol was not dodge. It WAS Plymouth! I would LOVE if they brought it back. Dream come true.
I thought the 'Cuda was a Plymouth? There's no Plymouth = there's not supposed to be a 'Cuda. I'm a Mopar guy, but let the past go. If you want a Barracuda, get an original, not some aging baby boomer inspired impostor. This things like the new Charger: the European owners screwed it up (4 doors!~Bo & Luke Duke didn't need 4 doors!). Nice concept car this 'Cuda but doesn't have the spirit of the original. It's all about the bottom line and ChryCo is playing on peoples romance of the past. Sad...
no fucking way! I just finished a rough drawing of a cuda concept and it looks alot like this one, haven't gone in detail in the front fascia yet though, and just made the original bumper a little larger and the body flows under like the original as well but a little more smooth. and the fender section in front of the wheel well is too short....LOL can't wait until I get a movie maker so I can show everyone, blows my mind! and no, it is not better than this ofcourse, I am doing a convertible xD
The ONLY thing I absolutely HATE about them is the fact that the interiors are like Chrysler took a huge interior cookie cutter and made the insides of the Charger, Challenger, 300, and Magnum. On the SRT cars, they should have put a sweet 3 spoke steering wheel or something race oriented on it to change the look.
Obviously you're wrong because both of those cars were based off of the charger. To go even further, the orange one is a custom one off body made by the same people who designed the challenger, at about the same time they designed the challenger.. So no, not so obviously based on the new challenger.
Obviously YOUR wrong simply because I work at a Dodge dealer and I asked about it and it IS based on the new Challenger. The Charger is a 4 door car..not 2.
Haha alright man, cuz the dealerships know everything. Why would the dealership know about a car that was never produced? You really are arguing with the wrong person here I've been a huge part of the challenger community since the day it was announced and I am one of the leading posters on the biggest forum about the car. If you really cant believe that a 4 door car can become a 2 door car check out some of the charger conversions. You work at a dealership and asked someone about it though...
Please man, just fucking look it up. It is 200% a charger. Haha, are you really gonna keep arguing this? Forget it, just replace the + with a period on these links and see for yourself I'm sick of arguing with an idiot.
Ok...you might be right about that particular car, but the one that might be produced by Dodge..not some aftermarket builder...is based on the Challenger.
Nothin coming out of dodge as far as a cuda goes. Only possibility of getting a real cuda is the Mr. Norms cuda which is absolutely awesome. And yes, I do realize there is no source I can site on this, but if you know of Bob Frederick, all I have to say is I get any and all challenger related info straight from the source as soon as it is known. Everything else so far about a real cuda is just speculation.
i found out that we're both right about the car...lol. I actually emailed Chrysler and the told me that the Charger and the Challenger are built off the same platform. I can honestly say I didn't know that.
Yep, the lx/lc platform. The charger, magnum, and 300 are all the lx, and the challenger and 200c coming out are lc (also called ly.) Only real difference is the shortened wheel base for the challenger/200c. The Jeep grand cherokee is on a similar platform as well. Pretty much the easiest way you could have figured that out is that they all have similar/the same components including engine, tranny, and suspension/rear end.
it's interesting that after 35 years, muscle cars are coming back again, 2005 mustang, 2008 challenger, 2010 camaro, and hopefully a new 'cuda. i think it's because engine technology has advanced enough that you can have powerful engines that still get decent fuel economy and have lower emissions. that should satisfy the folks in washington dc
HXC performance has a retro fit kit for the challengers, they change the rear bumper to match the 1971 cuda style, along with front grille, and of course the cover for cuda lights, i think if i were to trade my SRT8 magnum and get a new challenger SRT8, id definetly turn it into a cuda no questions!
now thats a retro muscle car. the new camaro is nice but theres rele nothing "retro" about it its all modern and the challenger is pretty retro but its bulkyyy. still theyre both sexy but this cuda is an absolutly amazing retro model
looks almost identical as the challenger.. pretty sad. I liked the good old time when there was a mopar/gm rivalery but its no longer the case since gm is outrunning mopar badly these days
The closest I got to a 'cuda was my 'ol dad's 1972 383 Plymouth Fury III 4-door. They'll never bring back the 'cuda, but these concept cars help us to remember a better day.
Can anyone tell me if they really are making a new cuda? And if not why they had the concept car at SEMA? And one more thing if their not producing one..., will there be body kits to make the new Challenger look like a Cuda??? Please msg me direct, thanks.
if theyre really bringing back all of these old cars, they should take the designs from the past and make the car exactly like it was produced. like the new camaro in my opinion looks like another everyday car, not a classy old car.
Would look nice sitting next to my 73 Cuda and my 2010 Challenger R/T! I'm in all the way IF they actually do it!

I thought the 'Cuda was a Plymouth? There's no Plymouth = there's not supposed to be a 'Cuda. I'm a Mopar guy, but let the past go. If you want a Barracuda, get an original, not some aging baby boomer inspired impostor. This things like the new Charger: the European owners screwed it up (4 doors!~Bo & Luke Duke didn't need 4 doors!). Nice concept car this 'Cuda but doesn't have the spirit of the original. It's all about the bottom line and ChryCo is playing on peoples romance of the past. Sad...

no fucking way! I just finished a rough drawing of a cuda concept and it looks alot like this one, haven't gone in detail in the front fascia yet though, and just made the original bumper a little larger and the body flows under like the original as well but a little more smooth. and the fender section in front of the wheel well is too short....LOL can't wait until I get a movie maker so I can show everyone, blows my mind! and no, it is not better than this ofcourse, I am doing a convertible xD

The ONLY thing I absolutely HATE about them is the fact that the interiors are like Chrysler took a huge interior cookie cutter and made the insides of the Charger, Challenger, 300, and Magnum. On the SRT cars, they should have put a sweet 3 spoke steering wheel or something race oriented on it to change the look.

BEERDADDY426 2 years ago
Yeah what if the did Reserect the Cuda'.....
Plymouth has be dead along time.
and it would fuckin piss me off to see a classic Cuda' go under a Dodge or Chrysler name plate!
i think they should bring back plymouth

it looks just like a 70 cuda. body lines and all. but check out Mr. Norms 71 version it looks so much better

So was the old 'Cuda....
Raiden7800 2 years ago
Obviously you're wrong because both of those cars were based off of the charger. To go even further, the orange one is a custom one off body made by the same people who designed the challenger, at about the same time they designed the challenger.. So no, not so obviously based on the new challenger.
rmfootball69 2 years ago
Obviously YOUR wrong simply because I work at a Dodge dealer and I asked about it and it IS based on the new Challenger. The Charger is a 4 door car..not 2.
steveo013 2 years ago
Haha alright man, cuz the dealerships know everything. Why would the dealership know about a car that was never produced? You really are arguing with the wrong person here I've been a huge part of the challenger community since the day it was announced and I am one of the leading posters on the biggest forum about the car. If you really cant believe that a 4 door car can become a 2 door car check out some of the charger conversions. You work at a dealership and asked someone about it though...
rmfootball69 2 years ago
The Goddamn car looks exactly like a Challenger from the side, top and the inside. The only thing they did was put a different front and rear on it

Ok...you might be right about that particular car, but the one that might be produced by Dodge..not some aftermarket builder...is based on the Challenger.
steveo013 2 years ago
Nothin coming out of dodge as far as a cuda goes. Only possibility of getting a real cuda is the Mr. Norms cuda which is absolutely awesome. And yes, I do realize there is no source I can site on this, but if you know of Bob Frederick, all I have to say is I get any and all challenger related info straight from the source as soon as it is known. Everything else so far about a real cuda is just speculation.
rmfootball69 2 years ago
i found out that we're both right about the car...lol. I actually emailed Chrysler and the told me that the Charger and the Challenger are built off the same platform. I can honestly say I didn't know that.
steveo013 2 years ago
Yep, the lx/lc platform. The charger, magnum, and 300 are all the lx, and the challenger and 200c coming out are lc (also called ly.) Only real difference is the shortened wheel base for the challenger/200c. The Jeep grand cherokee is on a similar platform as well. Pretty much the easiest way you could have figured that out is that they all have similar/the same components including engine, tranny, and suspension/rear end.

it's interesting that after 35 years, muscle cars are coming back again, 2005 mustang, 2008 challenger, 2010 camaro, and hopefully a new 'cuda. i think it's because engine technology has advanced enough that you can have powerful engines that still get decent fuel economy and have lower emissions. that should satisfy the folks in washington dc
psychoclown420 2 years ago
HXC performance has a retro fit kit for the challengers, they change the rear bumper to match the 1971 cuda style, along with front grille, and of course the cover for cuda lights, i think if i were to trade my SRT8 magnum and get a new challenger SRT8, id definetly turn it into a cuda no questions!

The closest I got to a 'cuda was my 'ol dad's 1972 383 Plymouth Fury III 4-door. They'll never bring back the 'cuda, but these concept cars help us to remember a better day.

Can anyone tell me if they really are making a new cuda? And if not why they had the concept car at SEMA? And one more thing if their not producing one..., will there be body kits to make the new Challenger look like a Cuda??? Please msg me direct, thanks.

stumpy3043 2 years ago
if theyre really bringing back all of these old cars, they should take the designs from the past and make the car exactly like it was produced. like the new camaro in my opinion looks like another everyday car, not a classy old car.
