For this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, Dodge is reviving the Yellow Jacket name and using it on a 2012 Challenger SRT8 392. Unlike the previous Yellow Jacket, which was only a one-off show car, the modern version will see limited production.
Starting with a 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 HEMI, the Yellow Jacker gets Stinger Yellow paint, a black grille surround, black body-side gloss striping with the Yellow Jacker logo and unique SRT five-spoke, 20-inch wheels with black trim.
Inside, Yellow Jacket cars come with Stinger Yellow accented leather seats, an embroidered Yellow Jacket logo and silver interior stitching. The driver's seat features lumbar support and seat position, memory, and a heated steering wheel ensures four-season comfort.
Under the Yellow Jacket's hood is Dodge's 6.4-liter (392 cubic inch) HEMI V-8, good for 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. That's enough to propel the Challenger SRT8 392 from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds, with the quarter mile flashing by in the mid-to-high twelve second range.
