The Dodge Challenger, even in SRT8 form, may not be the quintessential sports car, but it is one of those vehicles that will grab the attention of by passers on the road – especially if it's tuned to look like a real life Hot Wheels car.

This footage of the Challenger SRT8 was captured in London. The modified muscle car is said to be owned by the London Motor Museum. You can watch the video right after the break.

There's no shortage of special editions over at the Chrysler Group which has just released details and a single photo of its next limited run model, the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket in advance of next week's Los Angeles Auto Show.

No prizes for guessing why the special Challenger is named like that. On the outside, Dodge designers combined a Stinger Yellow body color with a black grille surround and matching color profile stripes highlighted by the bespoke Yellow Jacket logo on the rear fender.

We all like watching powerful cars drifting slideways and burning rubber and fortunately, we get plenty of that in the Chrysler Group's new SRT video starring the 2012MY SRT8 versions of the Chrysler 300, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Challenger and Charger.

But (there's always a but, isn't there?) while there's no doubt that the clip is visually stimulating, it completely misses the point when it comes to making our ears happy. Watch the video after the break and you'll see/hear what we mean.

Inspired by the now-discontinued Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR that recently posted a new record lap time of 7:12.13 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife track in Germany, Chrysler Group’s Mopar Underground team decided to apply a similar treatment to the latest Challenger SRT8 392 and bring it to the upcoming 2011 SEMA Show.

Picture this: you’re chasing down an escaped con in a stolen police van when one of his buddies rams your police cruiser off the road. No matter, as you can jump out of your body and into that of suburban soccer mom, using her minivan to disable the escapee and complete the mission.

This is the main gimmick of Driver: San Francisco, the latest in a long-line of cops ‘n’ robbers driving games from developer Ubisoft. And it works, thanks to intuitive game play mechanics and missions that encourage thinking outside the box.
