Dodge Challenger News

All proceeds from the sale of Sergio Marchionne’s Dodge Challenger SRT8 will be donated to the United Way of America charity.

Right now, the most hardcore Challenger is the SRT8 392, which puts out 470 horsepower and happily runs the quarter mile in the mid-twelves--figures comparable with rivals from Ford and Chevrolet. Take it out on the track, however, and its approximate 4,100-pound curb weight means the Challenger...

Faulty wiring on some 2013 Dodge Challenger models could lead to a short circuit, which could cause a possible fire.

As someone who’s owned a few Ferraris and Maseratis over the years, including an Enzo supercar, Sergio Marchionne, the CEO of Fiat and Chrysler, prefers driving American muscle when he’s on duty in the states. His choice of ride for getting around suburban Detroit is this murdered-out...

For 2013, the Dodge Challenger R/T gets a new Redline appearance package.

Comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham probably wouldn’t have been the first guy to pop into our minds when the task of designing a SEMA concept reared its ugly head. Nonetheless, Dunham is a car guy with a penchant for Mopar muscle cars, and we’ve already seen evidence that he can...

It seems that pitting a supercar against a jet aircraft never goes out of style. Depending upon the length of the course and the vehicles involved, sometimes victory goes to four wheels, while other times it goes to two wings. Car versus rotary-wing aircraft (aka helicopter) throw-downs are a bit...

Codenamed Project Ultraviolet, one of Chrysler's next SEMA specials is a Challenger SRT8 built in cooperation with Mopar, SRT, and ... Jeff Dunham. If you're wondering what a ventriloquist/comedian has to do with muscle cars, you're certainly not alone. The question may or may not be answered after...

While it’s pretty clear that Chrysler will launch an updated version of the Barracuda under the SRT brand for the 2015 model year, there appears to be some doubt on whether or not such a model will coexist with the current Dodge Challenger. Just a few weeks back we presented the argument for...

To paraphrase Mark Twain, “rumors of the Dodge Challenger’s demise may be greatly exaggerated.” Despite the anticipated introduction of the SRT Barracuda (perhaps the worst-kept secret in Auburn Hills), it now appears that Dodge may not be killing off the Challenger after all...

The 2012 Dodge Challenger gets a new package with the Rally Redline, adding a dash of sport to the V-6 version.

There’s no shortage of custom Challenger SRT8s, as the muscle-car-with-mass has followers every bit as loyal and creative as Mustang and Camaro fans. We’ve seen plenty of high-horsepower Challengers and have even witnessed a few set up for road racing, which really isn’t the...

Back in February we heard that rumors were being spread at the Detroit Auto Show about the Barracuda nameplate being brought back to replace the Dodge Challenger. We also exclusively reported last summer that later this year SRT will offer a factory supercharger option on the LX-platform SRT8...

If reports from Detroit are correct, the aging Dodge Challenger will be replaced by a more performance-oriented SRT Barracuda, probably for the 2015 model year.

The Current Dodge Challenger, which debuted in 2008, may be replaced by a smaller, lighter pony car with the legendary Barracuda nameplate.

Today at Motor Authority we review the 2012 Dodge Challenger and specs leak out for the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will debut an autonomous driving system, and we have video of a 1967 Volvo wagon embarrassing a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia. All this and more in today's...

Dodge is launching a limited-production "Yellow Jacket" version of its Challenger SRT8 392 at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show.

Sporting a range of Mopar upgrades and weight-saving features, better aerodynamics, and slightly more power, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 ACR shown at the 2011 SEMA show makes us hope the brand decides to build it for production. As the photos show, the Challenger ACR looks a bit meaner than the...

Eager to remind customers that the new Dodge Challenger is fast in more than just a straight line, Dodge has created a Challenger SRT8 ACR for this year's SEMA show.
