2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 At The 2011 Chicago Auto Show

Dodge has announced the Dodge Charger SRT8 today at the Chicago Auto Show. The all American muscle car will return for the 2012 model year and will be built at the Brampton[..]embly plant in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The sports car will be in dealer showrooms later this year.

Under the hood you will find the new 6.4 liter HEMI V8 delivering more horsepower and torque than the 6.1 liter HEMI V8 it replaces. Estimated power ratings for the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 are 465 horsepower and 569Nm of torque. Specific horsepower and torque numbers will be announced closer to the vehicle introduction. The standard paddle-shift technology joins the standard AutoStick on the floor shifter. Both are mated to the W5A580 five-speed automatic transmission.

New for 2012, the Dodge Charger SRT8 features an adaptive damping suspension and split five-spoke 20 inch lightweight forged and polished aluminum wheels with black painted pockets. Braking power is delivered by four-piston Brembo calipers and vented/slotted rotors measuring 14.2 inches up front and 13.8 inches in the rear.

Exclusive new front and rear fascias, along with a new rear spoiler, distinguish the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8. The front grille, grille surround and Dodge crosshair feature high-gloss black finishes and the SRT badge. A newly sculpted hood features a 6.4 L (liter) badge and black air exhauster for added engine cooling. In the rear, the Charger’s new signature “racetrack” taillamp design with 164 illuminating LEDs receives new four inch round dual exhaust tips and an SRT8 decklid badge to boldly show the Street and Racing Technology DNA. Side-sill cladding is painted to match the body color.

On the inside, you will get sport seats with perforated suede inserts, a flat-bottom steering wheel, faux carbon fiber trim and aluminum accents. Additionally, the car is equipped with heated/ventilated front seats, a 900-watt Harmon Kardon audio system and Uconnect Touch with an 8.4 inch display.
