There is no hiding that Vin Diesel’s character in Fast and Furious series (Dom) loves the Dodge Challenger and he has been spotted driving one in all the movies. So, could we see this new Dodge Challenger in the Fast and Furious 7?
The newly consolidated Dodge and SRT brands are launching out of the gate at full throttle - introducing the new 600-plus horsepower 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine and its stablemate - the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT just one month after taking the wraps off the new Dodge Challenger 392 HEMIScat Pack Shaker at the 2014 New York Auto Show. The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT coupes will be built at the Brampton (Ont.) Assembly plant. Production is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2014.
Another key design element on the Challenger SRT Hellcat is the exclusive Air Catcher inlet port, which feeds ram-air directly into the engine air box through the driver-side parking lamp. The hood on the new Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine also includes dual air extractors to ensure effective removal of heat and reduced air turbulence in the engine compartment. Both models of the Challenger SRT feature all-aluminum hoods designed to reduce weight.
For 2015, the Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine is propelled by the new supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 engine that produces in excess of 600 horsepower and will be the highest of any V8 engine in Chrysler Group's celebrated history. The all-new V8 engine can be mated with an upgraded six-speed manual transmission or a eight-speed automatic - the first such gearbox ever offered in the Dodge Challenger SRT's time-honored segment.
The new supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 has premium-grade, heat-treated aluminum-alloy cylinder heads that are optimized for superior thermal conductivity. And its die-cast aluminum rocker covers are HEMI Orange. Whether its on-road or on-track, Challenger SRT owners can personalize their drive experience via the all-new Drive Modes feature. Drive Modes tailor the driving experience by controlling horsepower, transmission shift speeds, steering (Challenger SRT only), paddle shifters (automatic transmission only), traction and suspension. Drive Modes are pre-configured for Sport, Track and Default settings, while the Custom setting lets the driver customize the drive experience to their favorite settings.
· Custom - Allows the driver to personalize the vehicle's performance
· Sport - Delivers increased vehicle performance capability over the Default Mode
· Track - Delivers maximum vehicle performance capability on smooth, dry surfaces
· Default - Activates automatically when starting the vehicle
