As with the U.S models, all customers will receive a unique Certificate of Authenticity. The Challenger SRT8 500 will also include dual "carbon-fiber" hood stripes, reminiscent of the original Dodge Challenger.
The interior includes race-inspired leather seats with added bolstering and an exclusive orange accent stripe, exclusive stitched accents on the seats and steering wheel, four-bomb gauges with tachometer and speedometer in the center.
An SRT-exclusive Reconfigurable Display (RCD) with Performances Pages, provides drivers instant feedback on 0–100 km/h time, 100–0 km/h braking, g-forces and ¼-mile time.
Later this year, four 2009 Dodge Challenger models will be offered in Canada: Dodge Challenger SE, Dodge Challenger SXT, Dodge Challenger R/T and Dodge Challenger SRT8. Pricing for the 2009 Canadian Dodge Challenger lineup will be announced at a later date.
