the muscle cars of the ’60s, and adding 21st century performance and
functionality. Available with a 250 horsepower, 3.5-liter
High-Output V-6 engine or the legendary 340 horsepower, 5.7-liter HEMI V-8
engine, the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger races into the car market with
contemporary, provocative styling and substance with all the convenience of a
modern sedan.

“With proven rear-wheel-drive technologies and the legendary HEMI engine, we
are able to produce a modern muscle car with everyday functionality,” said Craig
Love, Vice President — Rear-wheel-drive Product Team, Chrysler Group. “The
all-new Dodge Charger offers the perfect blend of performance, safety and
flexibility that today’s market demands.”
American Car Icon
With powerful world-class hardware and software beneath the Charger’s skin,
Dodge designers sculpted a car that celebrates all that is good about American
cars in a thoroughly modern way. The all-new 2006 Dodge Charger has a long
character line that defines the front corners, runs back to the rear door and
makes way for a huge rear fender that gives notice that the car is
rear-wheel-drive-powered.
The profile of the Dodge Charger’s roofline and the sloping fastback style
suggest a sense of speed. The front end is strong, with a sinister sneer to it.
“The new Dodge Charger is all about celebrating the American muscle car and
going places in something special,” said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President —
Design, Chrysler Group. “Dodge Charger makes a statement about the owner’s zeal
for life and for beautiful things.”
With the longest wheelbase in its class, the Dodge Charger offers a spacious and
refined interior and a no-nonsense driver cockpit. It is ergonomically sound and
provides world-class attention to fit and finish. The Charger’s seating position
is more than two inches higher than the previous generation Dodge sedan, which
gives a comfortable command-of-the-road view for both driver and passenger.
New Option in Passenger Car Market
Pulling into the newest spot in the Dodge garage, the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger
offers a bold, powerful and exciting choice in the passenger car market. The
Charger features comfortable room for five adults and enough trunk space to meet
the demands of their active, modern lifestyles. ...Dodge Charger RT: Page 2
