Race-Inspired Interior
The interior equipment in the new Dodge
Challenger R/T is significantly upgraded to give customers added style,
convenience, value and best-in-class accommodations.
Transmitting
Challenger's new precision steering and feel of the road is an all-new
thick-rimmed three-spoke Dodge steering wheel for better performance feel and
grip. The right-sized hand-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel features
silver metallic painted spokes located at the 3-, 6- and 9 o'clock positions.
The new sport steering wheel features back-lit cruise, Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) and available Uconnect Voice Command controls mounted
on the front face, which makes it easier to see at night.
Dodge
Challenger's trapezoidal race-inspired instrument panel now features a new
four-bomb gauge cluster with chromed accent rings and new sport-themed graphics.
Inside the cluster, a new four-line display EVIC is now standard equipment and
shows the driver trip and multimedia information from the Media Center radio.
To make long cruises more comfortable, the new Challenger R/T features
redesigned seat structures with improved cushioning and more comfortable
contours. Challenger's standard power driver's seat now features power lumbar
for improved back support. To make it easier to get in and out of the backseat,
the driver's seat now features seatback tilt- with memory and an easy-to-reach
release handle, while the front-passenger seat adds tilt-and-slide with memory,
which makes it even easier to use. When equipped with leather, Dodge
Challenger's new Nappa leather seating surfaces provide a premium look and feel.
Dodge Challenger offers exceptional rear seating for a two-door coupe,
achieving best-in-class rear head room (37.4 inches) and legroom (32.6 inches)
room compared with its competition. With class-exclusive seating for five,
coupled with best-in-class cargo space (16.2 cu. ft.), the new 2011 Dodge
Challenger is the segments best day-to-day pony-car choice, offering maximum
comfort and functionality.
Next to Dodge Challenger R/T's LED-illuminated
cupholders, a new hand-stitched leather-wrapped shift knob is now standard and
provides improved feel while toggling between the coupe's standard Auto Stick
transmission gears.
Finishing the 2011 Challenger R/T's interior upgrade
is the addition of standard automatic climate control for added convenience and
improved comfort.
Up to 376 Horsepower With Four-cylinder Mode
Efficiency
For the performance enthusiast, the new 2011 Dodge
Challenger R/T with its the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine delivers up to
376 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.
When paired with the newly
refined Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission's Track Pak the 2011 Dodge
Challenger R/T delivers smoother shifts, while delivering even more power
through unique performance-tuned dual exhaust and under-floor mufflers with
low-restriction bottle resonators. The result is 376 track-tearing horsepower
that can accelerate the performance coupe from 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds
and a sinister exhaust growl for the cars left in its rear-view mirror.
The all-new 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T's 5.7-liter HEMI engine with five-speed
automatic transmission produces 372 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, plus its
FuelSaver technology seamlessly transitions to high-fuel-economy four-cylinder
mode when less power is needed and V-8 mode when more power is in demand. This
optimizes fuel economy when full V-8 power is not required, without sacrificing
vehicle performance or capability.
The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine also
features variable-valve timing (VVT) to improve fuel economy in two ways. First,
it reduces the engine's pumping work by closing the intake valve later. Second,
it increases the expansion process of the combustion event. This allows more
work to be transferred to the wheels instead of being lost out of the exhaust
port as heat. VVT improves engine breathing, which improves engine efficiency
and power.
Electro-hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS)
An
all-new electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) system transmits precise road
feel to the driver and improves on-center tracking and fuel economy.
Depending on the "control mode" within the EHPS system, the system applies
variable steering effort to different driving conditions. EHPS analyzes steering
angle, vehicle speed, engine rpm and chassis control systems 13 times per second
for precise performance-handling feel. When the Dodge Challenger is stationary
or moving at low speeds, the hydraulic pump increases power assistance for a
lighter steering-wheel effort. The pump reduces steering assistance at highway
speeds to give the performance coupe a firmer feel, and as a consequence, the
system delivers a fuel savings of up to 1.5 percent by consuming less energy
than a belt-driven pump.
