A FLAIR FOR STYLE 

The Widebody takes a wider stance with fender flares to cover the new wheels and tires. 

PERFORMANCE UPGRADE 

The R/T Scat Pack Widebody includes six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo Performance Brakes and an Adaptive Damping Suspension. 

WHEN IT’S TIME TO STOP

SPORT BRAKE SYSTEM 

The sport brake system features 12.6-inch front vented rotors and comes standard on the Challenger SXT. 

PERFORMANCE BRAKE SYSTEM 

Large front rotors and dual-piston front sliding calipers improve brake performance. Standard on GT RWD and R/T. 

BREMBO FOUR-PISTON BRAKE SYSTEM 

Four-piston Brembo calipers and 14.2-inch (front) and 13.8-inch (rear) vented/slotted rotors promise incredible braking power. Standard on the Challenger R/T Scat Pack and available on GT RWD and R/T as part of the available Performance Handling Group. 

BREMBO SIX-PISTON BRAKE SYSTEM 

15.4-inch (390mm) Brembo two-piece rotors with six-piston calipers come standard on the Challenger SRT® Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Redeye with available Widebody and they are also included with the available Widebody Package and available Dynamics Package on the R/T Scat Pack. 

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

SRT POWER CHILLER®

This award-winning feature diverts air-conditioning refrigerant from the interior cabin to the chiller unit. After being cooled by ambient air passing through a low-temperature radiator at the front of the vehicle, charged air coolant flows through the SRT Power Chiller® unit, where it's cooled even further. The chilled coolant then flows to the heat exchangers in the supercharger, lowering the temperature of the intake air even more. This feature significantly reduces air intake temperature to improve engine performance. It is standard on the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye.

LINE LOCK

Line lock engages the front brakes to hold the Challenger stationary but leaves the rear wheels free for a burnout to heat up and clean the rear tires to improve launch. This system can engage for up to 200 rear wheel revolutions for a controlled rolling burnout to get your tires race ready.

LAUNCH ASSIST

Launch assist resolves the issue of wheel hop, with wheel speed sensors watching for signs that the tires are slipping or sticking. If hop is detected, the engine control module reduces torque to maximize traction without having to lift the throttle, reducing loads in the driveline from wheel hop by up to 20 percent.

LAUNCH CONTROL

Launch control holds the engine at the optimal launch RPM and waits for you to release the brake, using engine torque management to optimize wheel slip for maximum straight-line acceleration.

RACE COOLDOWN

When the engine shuts down, Race Cooldown keeps the engine’s cooling fan and low-temperature coolant pump running to lower the supercharger air cooler temperature, which can be tracked on the SRT® Performance Pages to determine when the supercharger is at its optimum temperature for another run.

NATURALLY FAST

The Dodge Challenger 1320 is the fastest ¼-mile naturally aspirated muscle car.

DESIGN TOUCHES

Specialized vehicles should show off their flair, and the Angry Bee badging differentiates the 1320 from others, as an expression of its legendary drag-racing technology.

DRAG MODE 

This unique vehicle setup adjusts transmission, traction, suspension and steering settings to optimize drag racing performance. The drag suspension maximizes weight transfer to the rear wheels for better traction at launch. 

TRANSBRAKE 

The TransBrake locks the output shaft of the TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission to hold the car stationary before launch, allowing the driver to increase engine RPM for higher torque and quicker response at launch. 

DRAG RADIAL TIRES 

For the hardcore drag racer, the 275/40R20 Nexen street-legal Drag radial tires on the Challenger 1320 are optimized for drag-racing performance. 

SRT® DRIVE MODES

SRT® Drive Modes, standard on R/T Scat Pack and SRT models, allow the user to customize vehicle settings for a more personalized driving experience. Combined with Performance Pages, drivers get a detailed look of what's going on behind the scenes.

TRACK MODE 

Track Mode activates configuration for typical track driving, including settings for transmission, traction, steering and suspension, as well as enabling the paddle shifters. 

SPORT MODE 

Sport Mode is set up for typical enthusiast driving, with traction, transmission, suspension and steering settings set to their "Sport" configuration. The paddle shifters are enabled. 

CUSTOM MODE 

Custom Mode allows the driver to select from the transmission to the traction, suspension to the steering and more, to customize the performance of your Dodge Challenger to your liking. 

AUTO MODE 

Auto Mode is for typical driving conditions where traction and transmission will be operating in normal street conditions (and cannot be changed while in this mode). The steering and suspension can be taken into “Street”, “Sport”, or “Track” modes, and the driver has the choice of turning on the paddle shifters or not. 

ECO AND VALET MODE 

Eco Mode modifies various settings to increase fuel economy. Valet Mode protects the vehicle from unauthorized modification by another individual, such as a valet driver.

ALL WHEELS, ANYTIME

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)

VDC technology uses available sensor inputs to redistribute the driveline torque to all four wheels. In Sport Mode, VDC works with less aggressive brake-based stability control settings, while retaining the mobility of all-wheel drive and the safety of dynamic stability control.

    SHIFTING GEARS - TRANSMISSION

    TORQUEFLITE® EIGHT-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

    For those who enjoy the ease of an automatic transmission and the thrill of manual transmission, the eight-speed auto has manual capability with Autostick and available paddle shifters when you want more control over your driving.
