Dodge Challenger 5.7 R/T

Of all the available offerings in this segment, the Dodge Challenger still retains the most classic look, typical of muscle cars. It also offers the largest and most powerful engine. Here we have a 375-hp unit mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination provides acceleration to 100 km/h in five seconds and a top speed of 263 km/h. If we want to feel the real American atmosphere, this is the option we should choose. When driving the R/T version of the Dodg Challenger, we have to be on guard. We are driving a more than 5-meter-long, 2-ton car, which is equipped only with rear-wheel drive. Typical of American sports cars, traction control also allows more than we are used to from European designs. The powerful engine sounds really great and ominous. When approaching the red field on the tachometer, we hear the characteristic “screech”. All this makes you really feel like a cruiser in this car. And cruiser is the right term.

Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have gone more in the direction of sport, the Dodge, on the other hand, is faithful to the traditional premise and is made for longer routes – and even with a set of passengers (the amount of luggage will also not be a problem due to the huge trunk)! At the same time, it has a system of detachable cylinders, so it will consume surprisingly small amounts of fuel during trips. The Challenger has a pleasantly tuned suspension that will perform well in a variety of conditions. With the additional option of “Dodge Performance Pages” we have the ability to personalize the driving mode and adjust the steering, engine or traction control for specific needs and preferences.

An additional advantage is its rich optional equipment, in the form of a reversing camera, heated and ventilated seats, cruise control or Harman Kardon sound system. The gray paint works well with the black 20″ rims. The intake on the hood not only plays a visual role, but also provides additional cooling for the engine. A nod to tradition, on the other hand, are the classic clocks – speedometer and tachometer, which are increasingly difficult to find in modern cars. The Challenger is created for all those who long for classic American motoring. The car is a lot of fun to drive, especially once you get out of the crowded city on the side roads. What’s more, it accommodates four people quite comfortably – another plus over its competitors. If you want a taste of the American climate, the Dodge Challenger 5.7 R/T is the choice for you.
