Dodge Charger SRT (2006)

Overview:

The Dodge Charger, in its current incarnation, is a rear-wheel drive full-size automobile built by the DaimlerChrysler corporation for its North American Dodge brand. The Charger name is a historical one, borne by many other Dodge Charger models in the past; they have generally been performance models. Introduced in February 2005 for the 2006 model year, this new Charger shares the LX platform of the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum; in fact, the interior of the Charger is almost identical to that of the Magnum. It replaced the Dodge Intrepid as Dodge's full-size sedan. This Charger is a four-door sedan, disappointing some fans of the previous two-door Chargers. The Charger SE and SXT are equipped with Chrysler's 3.5L V6. The 3.5L V6 produces 250 hp (186 kW) and 250 ft·lbf (339 N·m) of torque. The R/T version uses the 5.7L Hemi V8. This engine produces 340 hp (254 kW) and 390 ft·lbf (475 N·m) of torque. The SRT-8 model comes with the 6.1L Hemi V8. The 6.1L Hemi produces 425 hp (317 kW) and 420 ft·lbf (569 N·m) of torque.
