<br />
It's no secret that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chrysler/">Chrysler</a> is unleashing redesigned versions of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/300">300</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/charger">Dodge Charger</a> sedans this Fall and we've seen numerous images of them prowling the streets of suburban Detroit in recent months. Now another of Autoblog's eagle-eyed readers, Marty M., has dropped us a note to let us know that he had captured what appears to be the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/charger+srt8">SRT8</a> version of the Charger. <br />
<br />
We're assuming this is the high-output Charger based on the size of the wheels and rear deck appendage, along with the depth of the front air dam. The freshly contoured flanks are visible under the camo, but we can't quite tell if there is a new piece of glass at the trailing edge of the rear doors. The new SRT8 engine is expected to grow from the current 6.1-liters to 6.4-liters with at least 450 horsepower, and shooter Marty tells us it sounds very much how a big V8 ought to. It isn't known if the high-performance SRT version of the next Charger will debut alongside its lesser linemates for model year 2011, or if it will hang out until it can earn a 2012 designation. Either way, it's time to get excited.<br />
