Whether you want to dominate the track, drag strip, or street, the 2018 Dodge Challenger offers a range of powertrain options and performance features to satisfy your need for speed.
Engines
The Challenger has four engines to choose from:
- 6-liter Pentastar® V6. The Pentastar® V6 is an award-winning engine with up to 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. It comes with a dual-overhead-cam design, high-flow intake, and exhaust ports. This engine is great for those who want better fuel economy, achieving up to 30 mpg on the highway.*

- 392 HEMI® 6.4-liter V8. This available engine is not for the faint of heart, as it comes with 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. You can do 0 to 60 in the low four-second range, and this engine gives the Challenger a 12-second quarter-mile time.
- Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® SRT Hellcat V8. The supercharged 6.2-liter Challenger SRT Hellcat engine delivers a fearsome 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. No frills - just raw power.
Transmissions
To pair with these powerful engines, the Challenger has a TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission that can easily handle high-speed situations. For those who want a more engaging experience behind the wheel, there's also a six-speed manual transmission.
