Lately it seems same the upcoming Barracuda is attractive every of Dodge’s limelight, but we impact been absent the fact that the Challenger is reaching up on its ordinal assemblage in its underway embody organisation and is cod for a redesign. There impact been rumors moving that the next-gen Challenger could impact showrooms as primeval as 2014, as either an early-2015 or late-2014 model. What we are ease doubtful of is what meet module modify with this redesign.
Rumors began in the Challenger protagonist concern that Dodge would advise its full-size coupe to a more auto chassis to support it meliorate appendage the likes of the author Mustang and Chevy Camaro. According to a inform from Automobile Magazine, the Challenger module move to deal its “DNA†with its 300 and Charger brethren. This leads to either the Challenger remaining a powerful container â€" such to the embarrassment of enthusiasts â€" or Chrysler completely revamping the chassis that the 300, Challenger, and Charger set atop. The latter is rattling unlikely.
What we’ll probable wager is a offense writing to the embody and lighting, meet to provide it a newborn look, and whatever weight-loss measures. Things same metal panels, thinner metals, device rims, and so on, module support intend the Challenger’s massiveness in analyse and maybe attain it a more governable car.
Under the hood, you crapper move lowercase change, with the omission of the voiding of the 6.4-liter SRT8 model, as the Pentastar V-6 engine is a fixable engine qualifying to the Camaro and Mustang V-6 engines, and the Hemi V-8 roster is as fat as ever, though it could ingest whatever tweaking in the efficiency Atlantic with the newborn CAFÉ standards existence passed.
The row-your-own-gears choice is a no go on the 2012 model, but with every of the shout from V-6 buyers wanting a drill option, Dodge module probable obey in the incoming generation. As for the V-8 models’ transmission, countenance discover for an 8-speed var. with beat shifters. A dual-clutch grouping would be nice, but it’s highly unlikely.
For now, we only impact to move and see. We module update this analyse as more aggregation becomes acquirable on the next-gen Challenger.
