Dodge’s resurrected Challenger coupe proved that it’s as safe as it is good-looking by pulling-off perfect 5-star ratings in both frontal and side-impact crash tests for the driver and passenger seating positions in recent U.S. government testing conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It’s never a pretty site seeing a new car being smashed -even though in this case it’s for the noblest of reasons- but for those of you that don’t mind just skip the jump and watch the actual video footage from NHTSA’s crash test assesment of the 2009 Dodge Challenger.
