2015 Dodge Challenger
One word best describes the 2015 Dodge Challenger: extreme. Interior and exterior styling has been tweaked across all trim levels, but the real news resides under the hood, where last year's SRT 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 now powers cars equipped with new R/T Scat Pack and 392 Scat Pack Shaker option packages. That engine, which has been massaged to deliver 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque, is accompanied by upgrades such as 20-in. alloy wheels, high-performance brakes, and a functional shaker hood. Buyers have their choice of a 6-speed manual or new 8-speed automatic transmission. Other upgrades include an 8.4-in. touch-screen infotainment system, available intelligent cruise control and blind-spot monitoring system, launch control, and an electric power steering setup with driver-selectable steering modes.
As for the SRT, it continues to be offered with the 6.4-liter Hemi, as well as a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 that's featured on a new Hellcat model and produces 707 horsepower. A red key fob unlocks the engine's full potential, whereas a black fob limits output.
