One of the highlights during my visit at SEMA was when Chris and I met up with Mike Castiglione and his brother Frank. Mike is the guy who penned the final exterior design for the new Dodge Challenger that you see cruising the roads today. Mike and I can relate in many ways being Industrial Designers. Mike did a phenominal job with the new Chally Design, so all we decided to do with our G5 packages was to compliment it, not redesign it into something it's not. Mike and his brother Frank were able to check out the latest G5 Challenger T/A we brought and we where extatic to hear that they gave the car two thumbs up. Having the original designer's blessing on our G5 Challenger meant a lot to us. Special thanks to Mike and Frank for hangin' out with us and talkin' cars!
In case you haven't seen this before, here's a great video interview with Michael Castiglione and Alan Barrington discussing the design and influences for the new Challenger.
