DODGE CHARGER

EVEN THOUGH IT CASTS A SHADOW

THAT’S ALL ITS OWN,

CHARGER IS A VEHICLE THAT’S

DESIGNED TO STEP OUT OF ONE.

THE POWERTRAIN IS DESIGNED TO BE

EFFORTLESS ON THE HIGHWAYS

AND ENTHUSIASTIC OFF THE CORNERS, WHILE

ENGINE TECHNOLOGY

YIELDS PERFORMANCE WITH A CONSCIENCE.

TECHNOLOGY INTERTWINED WITH

A DOSE OF LEGEND,

THIS IS THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE THAT

ONLY CHARGER CAN DELIVER.

Charger R/T in Pitch Black.

Charger SXT Plus in Bright White.

NOW FOR A NOD TO THE PRESENT. Charger seamlessly merges modern, aerodynamic style with nods to its storied

heritage. The sculpted body flaunts scalloped doors, a dual scalloped hood, and the Charger throwback styling. The signature Dodge grille features a

distinct four-quadrant crosshair design with Black Satin inset and chrome surround. It’s the perfect balance of blackout to brightwork. A laser-brazed roof

eliminates roof ditch moldings for a purely premium appearance. Standard automatic quad halogen reflector headlamps with Gloss Black bezels or available

low-beam High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps project light and attitude with equal authority. Available SmartBeamTM headlamps automatically and

instantly adjust brightness and intensity when approaching forward lights from another vehicle are detected.

31 MPG 292 HP

3.6-LITER PENTASTAR® V6 –

NAMED ONE OF

WARD’S

10 BEST ENGINES FOR 2011. The 3.6-liter DOHC Variable Valve Timing (VVT)

Pentastar V6 engine draws on advanced automotive engine technology for outstanding power and an exceptional blend of high torque, best-in-

class[2] fuel economy of 31 hwy mpg with available 8-speed transmission, low emissions, and first-rate noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)

control. The numbers speak volumes — best-in-class[1] standard V6 292 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque. The performance story only gets better when

Charger’s best-in-class[1] horsepower is coupled with best-in-class[2] 31 highway mpg; that’s mid-size fuel efficiency in a full-size car.

STATE-OF-THE-ART VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT).

Designed for maximum durability and outstanding NVH control, the VVT employs cam phasing to

change the timing of valve operation based on the engine’s operating conditions. Cam phasing

eliminates the fixed relationship between the intake and exhaust valves, and allows the

greatest possible variance in valve timing. Through the use of electrohydraulic vane-type

phasers, the camshaft is able to rotate over a 50-degree range in either direction

eliminating the amount of overlap between the intake and exhaust valves. The

result: improved efficiency, steady idle, smooth engine operation, more torque,

and maximum horsepower when needed.

CLASS-EXCLUSIVE[1] 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH E-SHIFT.

Dodge Charger ups the ante with an all-new 8-speed transmission engineered to improve fuel efﬁciency and performance.

The transmission features two different shift programs: a standard pattern for everyday driving and a sport position for a

more aggressive feel and extended shift points. The Sport Mode can also be used with the available all-new die-cast steering

wheel-mounted paddle shifters, providing manual control.

FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY

SPRINTS WITH A MARATHONER’S STAMINA. Think of this as technology that enables the legendary HEMI® engine to perform as well at the gas

station as it does on the road. Fuel Saver Technology, standard on the 5.7-liter and 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engines, allows the engine to deactivate four cylinders based on driving input,

when eight are not needed, creating the perfect combination of power and efficiency. When cruising at highway speeds the Fuel Saver Technology system uses advanced computer

technology and electronic throttle control to transform the engine seamlessly from V8 power to an efficient four-cylinder power plant in 0.04 seconds.

5.7-LITER HEMI® V8. The available Charger 5.7-liter HEMI

Variable Valve Timing (VVT) V8 engine gives drivers a remarkable 25 hwy

mpg. The result is a stunning combination of 370 horsepower, 395 lb-ft of

torque, and the best-in-class[3] combination of available V8 horsepower

and fuel economy. Standard on Charger R/T.

6.4-LITER HEMI® V8. It pushes back and powers ahead

with an impressive 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque making Charger

SRT8® the most powerful V8 sedan in its class.

[1] This power is engaged

over a wider rpm range through the new Active Valve Exhaust System. An

active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with integrated cam phasing

provide maximum low-end torque for impressive standing starts while

optimizing high-end power. Standard on SRT8.
