DODGE CHARGER

The 350-horsepower Charger Daytona R/T proudly
wears Dodge throwback colors that nod to an era when Richard
Petty drove his Charger to 37 NASCAR wins. Daytona's unique exterior
style includes:
- 18-inch polished aluminum wheels with black-painted
pockets
- Black front fascia and rear decklid spoilers
- Black Daytona and HEMI® decals
- Red heritage R/T badging
Charger's
four-door coupe-inspired design injects a modern dose of real-world
versatility into an aggressive, sports car profile. The proportions
are classic rear-wheel drive: a long 120-inch wheelbase for more
interior legroom, wide 63-inch track for more elbow room, and tall
58.2-inch profile for more headroom. The rear 60/40 split rear
seatback folds flat to provide unhindered access from the enormous
trunk to over 120 cubic feet of interior space.
CHARGER POWER
|
|
|
| The 3.5-liter high-output V6 engine, standard on Charger
SE and SXT models, delivers the perfect balance of performance
and economy. This compact powerhouse kicks out 250 horsepower
and 250 lb-ft of torque thanks to a host of performance features,
including a precision aluminum block with cast-in iron liners,
cross-bolted main bearing caps, and cast aluminum heads.
Power: 250 horsepower at 6,400 rpm
Torque: 250 lb-ft at 3,800 rpm
Fuel economy: 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway |
The famed 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine with Multiple Displacement
System (MDS) on Charger R/T and Daytona R/T delivers the goods,
featuring a deep-skirt cast-iron block with cross-bolted main
bearing caps and aluminum alloy heads with legendary hemispherical
combustion chambers.
Power: 350 horsepower at 5,000 rpm (340 on R/T)
Torque: 390 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm
Fuel economy: 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway† |
Behold our most powerful engine ever: the big-bore SRT-engineered
6.1-liter HEMI V8. A mix of modern technology and good old-fashioned
hot rod engineering enables this beast to churn out a fearsome
425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. That's more power per
liter than the legendary 426 Street HEMI that reigned supreme
in the 1960s and 1970s.
Power: 425 horsepower at 6,200 rpm
Torque: 420 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm
Fuel economy: 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway‡

CHARGER CONTROL
|
|
|
The rear-wheel-drive layout provides the ultimate in ride,
handling, and control at any speed.
- Near-50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution for balance
and traction
- Elimination of torque steer during acceleration
- Wider track for greater stability and handling
- Longest wheelbase in its class
|
The four-wheel independent suspension maintains individual
control of each wheel for the ultimate in high-performance
handling, a smooth ride, and maximum traction.
- Aluminum short- and long arm (SLA) front suspension for
rock-steady cornering and handling control
- Five-link rear suspension bolted to a rubber-mounted
steel cradle for a smooth, quiet ride
|
Stopping fast is critical. That's why all Chargers come standard
with huge discs, lightweight aluminum calipers, and antilock
braking system (ABS) with brake assist on all four wheels.
- Large-diameter four-wheel vented discs deliver more braking
power (solid rear with V6 engine)
- Stiff aluminum calipers provide a firm pedal feel and
linear response
- Integrated air ducts boost performance and durability
|
CHARGER SPEED
The
engine revs, the tires turn, and everything outside becomes a blur.
It's all about speed: the rate of distance over time. When it comes
to driving a Charger, you'll cover a lot of distance over a short
time. Charger's sleek, fastback design is shaped to slip through
the air with minimal resistance, while spoilers on the front fascia
and rear decklid (Daytona R/T and SRT8) create additional downforce
for increased traction and stability at speed.
SAFETY SECURITY
|
|
| Charger's rigid unibody steel construction provides solid
passenger protection. Three distinct front crush zones absorb
and direct impact energy away from the passenger compartment.
Inside, an energy-absorbing steering wheel and column help
minimize injuries from frontal impacts. Out back, the spare
tire is positioned to rotate away from the fuel tank in the
event of a rear-end collision. |
Advanced multistage driver and front-passenger air bags*
and an occupant classification system (OCS) that adjusts the
deployment force of the passenger-side front air bag based
on passenger weight come standard. Available supplemental side-curtain
air bags help reduce the potential for head injuries by providing
additional side-impact protection to front and rear outboard
occupants. |
