GET IN. YOU WON’T WANT TO GET OUT.
With the push of a button a legend is reborn and an entire segment is reinvented. This is the all-new Dodge Challenger. From its efficient 3.5-liter SOHC V6 engine to its smart, available 5.7-liter VVT HEMI® V8 engine with Multi-Displacement System (MDS) to its untouchable Lifetime Powertrain Limited Warranty – the all-new 2009 Dodge Challenger is unlike any other.

THIS IS WHY WE WAITED SO LONG
Challenger R/T is decked in I-dare-you-to, from its front and rear spoilers to its striking egg-crate grille and satin chrome fuel filler door. Its 5.7-liter VVT HEMI® V8 with Multi-Displacement System (MDS)gives it stunning credentials in both the power and efficiency categories. The available 6-speed manual transmission delivers precision within the tightest tolerances. The standard 5-speed AutoStick® transmission provides the option for smooth, fully automatic or spirited clutchless manual shifting.  Even the key embraces technology and features an available remote start function. While loaded with advancements like the available High-Intensity Discharge (HID) polycarbonate headlamps, the distinctive note out of its rectangular dual exhaust pipes is pure throwback Hemi.

HEMISTRY
Chrysler engineers took the brilliantly powerful and masterfully efficient 5.7-liter with Multi-Displacement System (MDS) and outfitted it with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) while cranking the compression up to 10.5:1. It ended up with a new and improved dual-ignition HEMI engine that delivers 370 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque with the 5-speed automatic AutoStick,® while the available 6-speed manual transmission increases output to 375 horsepower and a whopping 404 lb-ft of torqu.

TUNE IN. TURN ON. TECH OUT.
The biggest advance in car audio since the CD player promises to turn the interior of Challenger into an integrated digital playground.
