The 2012 Dodge Charger is a formidable contender when it comes to horsepower. The Hemi V8 engine is just as powerful and muscular as its street-legal predecessors, but it is also more civilized and refined than ever. The engine's displacement, which is 5.7 Liters, is 345 cubic inches. The car has a 120.2-inch wheelspan and a length that measures 199.9 inches.
Standard 292-horsepower Pentastar V6
The Dodge Charger five-seat sedan has the muscle car feel but comes loaded with features. The standard engine is a 3.6L Pentastar V6 that produces 292 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet. The eight-speed automatic transmission allows it to achieve 31 mpg on the highway. Dodge Charger's fuel-saving mechanism deactivates four engines when there is no load.
The Charger's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine is paired with an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission for a refined, smooth drive. The standard power output of the car is sufficient to take it from zero to sixty mph within 6.5 seconds. It can also reach a maximum speed of 154 miles per hour in less than five seconds. The Dodge Charger's standard Pentastar V6 is 292-horsepower, which is a 62 per cent increase on the base 2.7-liter model.
SRT8's 395-horsepower Pentastar V6
Dodge Charger, a full-size sedan, offers three powerful engines. The base 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 produces 275 horsepower with 260 pound-feet torque and the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 generates 395 horsepower with 395 lbft. Supercharged versions produce 410 horsepower with 450 lbft. All Chargers have all-wheel-drive as standard, but the SRT8 lacks an AWD system.
In 2005, the Dodge Charger SRT8 was introduced. Later, the engine became the foundation for the Corvette Super Bee. The SRT8 Charger SRT8 is a more extreme version of the Charger but doesn't include a V8 in it's engine bay. It is a shame since the Charger SRT8 car is quite powerful and can run straight with a Corvette.
