Charger4 GT Touring
Previous generation — no longer sold new
Riese & Müller has stopped selling the Charger4 GT Touring and replaced it with the Riese & Müller Charger5 GT Touring. We keep this page for existing owners and used buyers: the specifications and our verdict still stand, but the price shown is the original MSRP, not a current one.
$7,499
