Dodge will unveil the 2012 Dodge Charger Blacktop in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (January 10-13). The model comes with a completely black outfit, meaning black livery, blackened windows, black alloys and smoked tail lights: basically it is all black apart from the aluminum finishing of the exhaust pipes and the head lamps.

Stealth-like appearance aside, the other main highlight of this car is its specifically developed ‘Beats’ audio system, designed in collaboration with hip-hop legend Dr. Dre and featuring 10 speakers, a 12-channel amplifier and an 8.4″ U-connect screen. This sound system is already available as standard on the V8 Hemi-powered Chrysler 300S and as an option on the V6 variants of the 300. commenting on the partnership, Dodge’s main man Reid Bigland stated: “Our goal in partnering with Beats by Dr. Dre is to integrate their recording-studio quality audio experience for our Charger enthusiasts to feel and hear their favorite music as it was intended – all while heightening the street performance and technology assets of the new 2012 Dodge Charger”.

The Chrysler Group hasn’t explicitly revealed what sort of engine will be powering the Charger Blacktop, but we would expect it to come with either a 5.7-litre V8 or a 3.6-litre V6. By the way, the pictured model is a Charger SXT with the already available Blacktop package. To know more about the model and its outstanding audio system, see the official Press Release after the jump.
