Dodge has released a new batch of photos of the limited run 2011 Challenger SRT8 392 Inaugural Edition, of which only 1,492 examples will be built (1,100 for the U.S. and 392 for Canada).

According to Dodge, the 2011 Challenger SRT8 392 can complete the 0-60 mph [96km/h] sprint in the high 4-second range and the quarter-mile in the high 12s.
