Dodge
Challenger GT AWD
Mopar
has created an all-wheel-drive version of the Dodge Challenger for this year’s
SEMA show, toying with the idea of an all-weather muscle car.
The
official tuning arm of FCA took parts from two different models in order to
create the first AWD Challenger, with the four-wheel drive system coming from a
police car version of the Charger and pairing it to an eight-speed auto found
in the Chrysler 300. A wide body kit, bigger brakes, lowered suspension,
reinforced chassis with sway bars and strut bars were installed also, but the
big news are under the hood.
Mopar
announced the debut of the Scat Pack 3, an upgrade destined for models fitted
with the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 which adds an extra 75 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque which
should mean that this Challenger packs around 515 hp and 494 lb-ft.
The
same upgrade lives under the hood of the Dodge Charger Deep Stage 3 show car
while Mopar also showcased the Dodge Dart GLH concept, a blacked-out meaner
version of the regular car, featuring a new sport hood which will equip every
GT-trimmed model from now on.
