The Dodge Charger Hemi R/T is perhaps one of the last American style sedans, with a large interior and a natural aspirated V8 powering either RWD or AWD. With the recent acquisition of Chrysler by Fiat, there have been significant changes made to the Chrysler group brands, including Dodge. The Dodge charger has been a steady seller for Chrysler, both to individuals and to police stations because of its power and interior space.

Dimensions

    Length for the Charger is 200 inches from bumper to bumper, width is 74.5 inches -- not counting the mirrors -- and height is 58 inches. The wheelbase is 120 inches -- wheelbase is the length between the wheel axles -- and the track is 63 inches -- track refers to the width between the axle ends. Interior volume is 104 feet cubed and fits five passengers. It has a empty weight of 4,085 lbs.

Powertrain

    The Road and Track trim of the Dodge Charger is offered in both RWD and AWD powertrains, both powered by a 5.7-liter, Hemi V-8 engine hooked up to a five-speed automatic transmission. It generates 368 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 395 foot-pounds of torque at 4,350 rpm. The RWD version gets 25 mpg on the highway and 16 mpg in the city, the AWD version gets 24 mpg on the highway and 15 mpg in the city.

Handling

    The charger has independent suspension in front and five-link, multi-link suspension in the rear. Steering is rack and pinion, with electrical power. Turning radius is 15.4 foot for both RWD and AWD.
