You can soon have your 2021 Dodge
Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker and T/A 392 models with the carmaker’s Widebody
Package. Pricing for the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody starts from US$ 47,690, while the T/A 392 Widebody costs upwards of US$ 49,090, both figures
excluding destination charges. Still, regardless of how soon you place your
order, these cars won’t arrive in showrooms until early next year.
Both cars feature the same naturally
aspirated 392 HEMI V8 engine, good for 482 HP, and 644 Nm of torque. The unit is mated to a Tremec six-speed manual gearbox as standard,
but you can also have a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission as an
optional extra. In the case of the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody,
you gain an extra 3.5 inches of overall width to go with the 305/35ZR20 Pirelli
tires, SRT-tuned chassis, and adaptive damping suspension. The car also boasts
paddle shifters, a dual-extractor hood, and SRT Performance Pages with drive
modes and Line Lock.
You also get a Mopar cold-air intake,
conical air filter, and optimized air box for improved performance. Visually,
there’s even a ‘SHAKER’ underhood decal. According to Dodge, opting for the
Widebody Package will result in an improvement of nearly 2 seconds per lap (or
12 car lengths) compared to the old R/T Scat Pack configuration. As for your
1/4 mile times, you gain 0.2 seconds for a 12.1 second run at 180
km/h. This goes for both the R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody as well as the T/A
392.
Speaking of the T/A 392, this 2021
Widebody variant comes with a Satin Black hood, wrap roof and deck lid, T/A
side stripes, black spoiler with T/A decal, 392 fender decal, Air Catcher
headlights with LED T/A logos, NACA ducted hood, 1971-inspired “tic-toc-tach”
gauge cluster with Bright White concave faces and gloss black details, plus
performance seats, which can even be heated and ventilated if you opt for the
Nappa leather ones.
