Updated Exterior
To match its unmistakable muscle-car styling,
upgraded powertrain and improved handling capabilities, the new 2011 Challenger
R/T features performance-driven exterior enhancements.
At the front of
the new Dodge Challenger R/T's wide stance is a restyled trapezoidal front air
dam with a larger opening to cool the legendary HEMI V-8 engine. Providing
additional downforce is a larger "duck bill" front spoiler in black to match the
coupe's lower sill.
Larger 18-inch aluminum wheels are now standard
equipment on the Dodge Challenger R/T and provide a more athletic stance with
wider tires. For a touch of nostalgia, Challenger's iconic bright racing-style
fuel-filler door is now standard on all models.
