Cleveland, OH (May 12, 2008) – Alcoa was highlighted in a recent video review of the new Dodge Challenger SRT-8 on ESPN2’s “Drive to the New York Auto Show.”

The review features Jeff Gale, Dodge Lead Exterior Designer, as he works his way around the Challenger SRT-8 to highlight the performance and appearance features on the new vehicle.

Dodge looked to Alcoa to design, engineer and manufacture a one-piece forged aluminum wheel that provides ultimate strength and durability combined with lightweight benefits and impressive styling to enhance the performance and appearance of each new Challenger.
