Never mind the studio shot from the Live with Kelly and Michael as we have the first wave of official photos of the not-so different on the outside 2015 Dodge Challenger released ahead of the car’s world premiere at the New York Auto Show on Thursday.

The coupe’s main body panels remain untouched, with all cosmetic changes focused on the two ends, with the front sporting a new split grille, a bigger hump on the hood and new headlamps with LED daytime running lamps, while the rear drops the ‘racetrack’ style lights in favor of new separate units.

We don’t see the SRT in any of these images, nor the interior, which is said to feature a new design.

The crew over at Motorauthority who released these pictures, say that aside from the new SRT edition (rumored to get a supercharged V8), the regular Challenger will be offered in eight more trims named SXT, SXT Plus, R/T, R/T Plus, R/T Shaker, R/T Plus Shaker, 6.4-liter Scat Pack and 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker.

We’ll bring you more on the 2015 Challenger as soon as Dodge presses the share button.

Update: TheCarConnection released more photos of the car, including the first shots of the restyled interior
