The SRT8 will be powered by a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 engine that delivers 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. The Challenger should run from 0 to 60 mph in the low five-second range, and likely somewhere in the 13-second bracket during quarter-mile burns.

Overall, exterior design cues remain faithful to the concept car, with some alterations. Dodge's modern-day cross-hair grille is gone in homage to the original Challenger, rather than remaining as a concession to marketing-driven design cohesiveness. The car's proportions appear bulkier than the concept's, but Dodge's final LX creation stands out as best-in-family.
