The Florida Highway
Patrol (FHP) has added a new model to its flet: the 2019 Dodge Challenger. It
features the mandatory two-tone livery and decals, as all other patrol cars. In
a FHP Jacksonville tweet, some of the features of the muscle car have been
brought forward. More specifically, it comes with the 360-degree camera system
and new lighting package, which adds emergency lights.
They have also
revealed the power unit, which is the 5.7-liter, HEMI V8. The engine produces
375 hp and 555 Nm of torque and can be connected
to a standard six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic
transmission in the 2019 Challenger R/T, which has a US$ 34,100 MSRP.
The output is more
than sufficient for most, but there are far more powerful versions of the
Challenger out there. You can get the 485 hp, 6.4-liter V8 R/T Scat Pack or
spend more and opt for the SRT Hellcat, with its 717 HP, 6.2-liter supercharged
V8.
However, it’s the
SRT Hellcat Redeye you’ll want to check out closer if you’re in dire need of
more power, as its V8 develops 797 hp. It needs only 3.4 seconds to accelerate
to 96 km/h, has a 326 km/h top speed and can run the quarter
mile in 10.8 seconds, at 210 km/h.
