April 17, 2014,  Auburn Hills, Mich. - Muscle-car enthusiasts who have flocked to the iconic Dodge Challenger since its introduction in 2008 now have even more reason to love their favorite muscle car with the addition of the 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack, a standard TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission, improved fuel economy and a host of driver-centric upgrades with its all-new interior.
 
“Buyers love the 2015 Dodge Challenger for its classic muscle car style that combines unmatched attitude with world-class performance – now made even stronger with its all-new interior, standard eight-speed TorqueFlite transmission and the addition of the potent 485-horsepower, 475-lb.-ft. 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO – Dodge Brand and SRT Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “This new Challenger will make it even easier for buyers to decide it’s time to get their dream car.”
 
Dodge is building on tremendous momentum as it introduces the new 2015 Challenger. The previous generation Challenger scored five solid years of continuous growth. Sales doubled between 2009 and 2013 in a segment that saw just an 8 percent increase in the same period. In fact, in its fifth year in the market, when most cars are on their natural decline curve, the Dodge Challenger set an all-time sales record in 2013.
 
Looking to the future, the standard specialty segment in which the Challenger competes is projected to grow substantially in the United States. With nearly 430,000 units sold last year, the segment is up 10 percent since 2009 and is projected to grow 42 percent in the next five years, giving Dodge, and Challenger, a huge opportunity to grow with it.
 
Economy-minded Challenger buyers join the fold with the powerful and efficient 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 that promises 305 horsepower and up to an estimated 30 mpg on the highway – 3 mpg more than its predecessor. Those looking for even more power will want the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 punching out 375 horsepower with 410 lb.-ft. of torque. And the enthusiasts can now get behind the wheel of a best-in-class 485-horsepower and best-in-class 475-lb.-ft. of torque 6.4-liter HEMI V-8in the Challenger R/T Scat Pack model.
 
America’s most affordable muscle car also offers an unmatched array of personalization options, including a wide range of colors, stripes and wheels to create the perfect combination of fun, nostalgia and power in one car.
