Description

Like the related Challenger Hellcat, the Charger version uses a mostly new 6.2-liter V8 engine with a big belt-driven supercharger sitting on top. There might be no practical point to 707 horsepower, but it does make from some good bragging rights, especially when the Dodge Viper sports car makes less power. Dodge claims that the current Charger was somehow inspired by the second-generation 1968-’70 cars. No matter how hard you squint, it’s tough to see, but the most obvious change for 2015 is a new aero-look nose that replaces the open-mouth grille.
