How
Much Horsepower Does the Dodge Challenger Have?
This
is a common question because drivers are drawn to the Challenger’s
aggressive looks and superior performance more than anything else.
The 2018 Dodge Challenger can get anywhere from 305 to 840 horsepower
depending on how it’s outfitted. Even with the base engine the new
Challenger has plenty of get up and go. Once you upgrade the engine,
you get into territories that are normally reserved for the race
track.
What
Kind of Gas Mileage Does the Dodge Challenger Get?
The
2018 Challenger can get up to 19 miles per gallon city and 30 miles per gallon highway. This is surprising to some drivers who aren’t
used to seeing this kind of sensible fuel economy from a sports car.
In fact, it almost sounds too good to be true, but it is. Take the
Challenger for a test drive, and you may be as impressed by the fuel
efficiency as you are by the acceleration.
The
Challenger SRT Demon can even save more fuel with its Eco Mode. This
limits the horsepower to 500, which is still more than enough for
most situations. The car also starts in second gear and short-shifts
to save gas.
What
Is the Dodge Challenger Demon?
The
2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the National Hot Rod Association’s
certified fastest quarter-mile car in the world. It gives drivers a
mindblowing 840 horsepower and 770 lb-ft of torque with the Demon
Crate package. It runs best on high-octane race fuel, which is
convenient because this car is best suited for the race track.
How
Fast Can a Dodge Challenger Go 0-60?
Dodge
has reported that the Challenger SRT Demon can go from zero to
60 miles per hour in only 2.1 seconds. It only takes another three
seconds to reach 100 miles per hour, and this car can travel a
quarter of a mile in only 9.65 seconds at 140 miles per hour.
This
is all on a prepared drag strip, which is just about the only place
you can safely unleash all the 2018 Challenger’s power.
Is
the Dodge Challenger Safe?
The
2018 Challenger allows drivers to hit unbelievable speeds in a hurry,
but Dodge has made a great lineup of safety features available to
keep drivers and passengers safe. Equip it with automatic high beam
headlight control, a rain-sensing windshield wiper system, adaptive
speed control with an automatic transmission, and forward collision
warning. Other options include a rearview camera and blind speed
monitoring, which can come in handy for all the obvious reasons.
Is
the 2018 Dodge Challenger Available as a Coupe?
Yes,
it is. Now that the Viper is a thing of the past, the Challenger is
the only coupe Dodge offers. While we’ll miss the Viper, the 2018
Challenger coupe is more than enough to keep us satisfied. The
two-door look helps the Challenger achieve an even sportier look than
ever before.
Does
the Dodge Challenger Come with All Wheel Drive?
The

all-wheel drive is available. This comes in handy if you don’t want
to let Miami’s rainy season slow you down on the roads.
What
Kind of Transmission Does the Dodge Challenger Have?
The
2018 Challenger comes with a six-speed manual transmission to give
drivers optimal control over acceleration and handling. The Dodge
Challenger is also available with a capable eight-speed automatic to
make city driving easier and deliver efficient shifting that’s
easier on the gas tank.

the Dodge Challenger Comfortable?

exterior styling of this car certainly brings up nostalgic feelings
and takes the viewer back to the glory days of American muscle cars.

that style and performance that will make your friends so jealous.
