To challenge is to
demand, to invite into competition.
Challenger
does just that with its monochromatic
Dark Slate Gray interior and
high-performance instrumentation.
Performance-geared front bucket seats
with aggressive bolstering envelop you
into an adrenaline-infused euphoria,
while the center console – with a
convenient sliding center armrest –
angles up towards you and adds to the
rush.
And once you
grab the contemporary pistol grip
shifter (available with the 5.7L or 6.1L
SRT HEMI V8 engines with manual
six-speed transmission), you’ll be
hooked.
It’s more than just a throwback; it’s a
step forward.
So get in
and challenge the road…performance is
comfortable again.

One look and you can’t
sit still.
Challenger’s aggressive front
grille and signature lines make your
foot tap anxiously as if you can feel
the pedal underneath it.
Let your eyes glide over the
flawless sculpture, pausing first on the
dual round headlamps and then on the air
inlet ducts, over to the retro,
racing-style fuel cap.
Is your mind playing tricks on
you or can you really hear the engine
growling?
Bt the time your eyes reach the
dual rectangular chrome exhaust tips,
your hands are moving, anticipating the
moment where the wheel is in your grasp.
Challenger
is clearly in a class of its own: pure,
modern muscle.
Do it.
Get in.
You’ve waited long enough.

3.5-liter
High-Output SOHC V6 Engine:
A dual-tuned intake manifold utilizes a
short runner valve, bringing you 250
horses at 6800 rpm and 250 lb-ft of
torque at 3800 rpm.
Partnered
with a sophisticated electronic throttle
control system that tailors the
pedal-movement response based on
operating conditions, plus platinum-tip
spark plugs and the coil-on-plug
ignition system, you’ll reap benefits
like more consistent speed and reduced
emissions (standard on SE).

Accident
Avoidance: Electronic stability Program
(ESP)
During
extreme steering maneuvers the standard
Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
system [1] helps maintain control by
sensing when the vehicle is starting to
over-or understeer.
The system
automatically applies individual brakes
or controls the throttle to help you
stay safely on course.
When you
don’t want the extra hand, ESP is
specially tuned for performance handling
so you can switch it off.
[Standard on R/T and SRT8.
Optional on
SE.]
