All You Need to Know about the Dodge Challenger

Dodge Challenger is a car which is a worthy successor to previous generations of the Challenger and which continues the tradition of the great American muscle car. However, while the Challenger’s looks and performance are impressive, numerous available trim levels of the Challenger which are being offered can confuse the buyers. It’s important to know what each version of Dodge Challenger brings to the table.

With Dodge Challenger, you can choose among five different engines:

• 3.6-liter V6 engine - this entry-level engine churns out 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.

• Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI SRT Hellcat V8 engine - this supercharged engine powers the SRT Hellcat version of the Challenger, and produces 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, which helps the car accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds.
• Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI SRT Demon V8 engine - this is the most powerful SRT engine in the range, producing 840 horsepower and 770 lb-ft of torque and powering the Dodge Challenger Demon.
