clutchless manual shifting. Dynamic handling and braking are
derived from the standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
with four-wheel antilock disc brakes (ABS), all-speed traction
control, and the geometric benefits of a sport-tuned steering
and suspension system. Challenger SE's standard 3.5-liter SOHC
V6 features an aluminum block with cast-iron liners and four-
valve-per-cylinder aluminum heads. Its sophisticated electronic
throttle control system tailors throttle response to pedal movement
based on operating conditions for that rare combination of
efficiencies. The five-speed transmission delivers enough spirit to match

Challenger R/T features a 5.7-liter HEMI
Displacement System (MDS)
which gives it stunning credentials in both the power and efficiency
categories. The available 6-speed Tremec
delivers precision within the tightest tolerances. The standard
5-speed AutoStick ® transmission provides fully automatic or

and 420 lb-ft of torque. It was developed by increasing the bore of each cylinder, increasing compression ratio,
redesigning the intake and exhaust systems for better airflow, and increasing engine speed. Its throwback
Hemi Orange engine block is a nod to where HEMI has been; the updated titanium components within
signal where HEMI is going.

chambers that benefit airflow and, subsequently, horsepower and torque. The engine delivers 372 horsepower
and 400 lb-ft of torque with the 5-speed AutoStick,
increases output to 375 horsepower and a whopping 410 lb-ft of torque. The improved 5.7-liter HEMI
features Variable Valve Timing (VVT) for improved torque over an extended rpm powerband. When equipped
with Multi-Displacement System (MDS), the computer uses sophisticated algorithms to seamlessly transition
from eight cylinders to four when full power is not required, providing an increase in fuel mileage.
