Mopar Adds More Muscle: The Dodge Challenger GT AWD Concept

Tuesday, 01 December, 2015

The 2016 Dodge Challenger epitomizes the essence of the American muscle car. Classic headlamps inspired by its 1971 iteration along with an aggressive brow and front chin splitter are what make up its iconic look. Besides the available Nappa and Laguna leather, Dodge has made modern adjustments to the interior including a digital cluster display, and the available electronic shifter. And, of course, with the available Supercharged 6.2 L HEMI® SRT Hellcat V8 engine, Dodge leads the way in vehicle performance with 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft torque.

Mopar brings into the fold a customized all-wheel-drive Dodge Challenger upping the vehicle’s traction and giving it incredibly quick power.

Stylish and Functional Interior
With a main body in Destroyer Grey, and Header Orange highlights, the interior of the Dodge Challenger GT AWD Concept complements the exterior with the same color pattern throughout. Katzkin leather seats have upgraded medium taupe suede inserts, and a flat bottom steering wheel offers more control when taking tight corners. These additions improve driver control while promoting a comfortable ride.

Edgy Exterior

The Mopar concept wide body kit adds a front chin splitter and rear spoiler which improve aerodynamics. The wide body kit also means the Dodge Challenger will be able to support wider wheels like the 20-inch x 10-inch in the front and the 20-inch x 11-inch in the rear. These improvements along with all-wheel-drive give the Dodge Challenger excellent traction and even greater acceleration.

Augmented Performance with All-Wheel-Drive
Mopar has made many significant adjustments affecting the Dodge Challenger’s performance. The addition of all-wheel-drive is meant to improve the vehicle’s traction, and with the powerful 5.7 L HEMI® V-8 engine, you’ll want that extra grip. Fitted to an eight-speed transmission, and upgraded with the Scat Pack 3 Performance Kit, Mopar’s customizations add 75 horsepower and 44 lb-ft of torque. Finally, the addition of a Mopar suspension kit in the Dodge Challenger GT AWD Concept lowers the car’s center of gravity, bringing the vehicle closer to the ground and lending it race-inspired handling.

The American muscle car tradition set forth by Dodge has set the standard for muscle cars. Mopar’s welcome additions bring even more strength, power, and dexterity, improving performance and bringing greater thrills to an already exhilarating ride.
