2011 Dodge Challenger

Now here's a nice surprise for Dodge fans. A member of the Mopart forums has snagged some photos of what appears to be the facelifted 2011 Dodge Challenger in R/T trim without a single trace of camouflage. The cosmetic changes over the 2009/2010 muscle-coupe are extremely subtle and it will take a trained eye to spot the differences.

These include the reshaped lower intake up front (basically, the designers turned it upside down) and the elimination of the Ram nose emblem on the hood, plus a new set of door handles. It is possible that the 2011 Challengers could feature more changes on the outside and in particular the rear end as we don't have any other photos of the car.

It is believed that the refreshed Challenger will get a much needed reworked interior with a new design and upgraded materials.

Rumor has that the 2011 Challenger will also benefit from some important changes under the hood. More specifically, it is said that the base Challenger SE will get Chrysler's new Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 engine pushing out somewhere between 280HP and 300HP, while the flagship SRT8 will receive a new 6.4-liter V8 delivering some 480-horsepower, up from 425HP.

Hanno levato l'ariete ... e dopo lo chiamano facelift :mrgreen:

perche ora l'ariete è ram non piu dodge, in pratica è come quando in fiat si è passato dai loghi a fondo blu a quelli con fondo rosso..non è che si possa parlare propriamente di facelifting

[Regazzoni]

Mi sa che più che Facelifting, qui si parli di MY 2011.

Direi che la notizia più importante sta nell'adozione dei Pentastar (ottimo, sebbene ancora di potenza inferiore all'EcoBoost Ford ed all'LLT GM) e nell'aumento del cavallaggio dell'Hemi.

Bellissimo punto di rosso, ma sbaglio o la mascherina è notevolmente più scura del resto della carrozzeria?

Non sarebbe la prima volta, i paraurti delle Camaro, a detta dei proprietari, hanno lo stesso problema...

A purported brochure for the 2011 Dodge Challenger has leaked to the web.

While the exterior receives a minor facelift, the big news happens under the hood as all the engines are new or upgraded. The boat anchor known as the 3.5-liter V6 is replaced by the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. It produces 305 hp (227 kW / 309 PS) and 268 lb-ft (363 Nm) of torque - an increase of 55 hp (41 kW / 56 PS) and 18 lb-ft (24 Nm).

The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 carries over, but it is now tuned to produce 379 hp (283 kW / 384 PS) and 410 lb-ft (555 Nm) of torque which is up from 372 hp (277 kW / 377 PS) and 400 lb-ft (542 Nm). Last but not least, the Challenger SRT ditches the 6.1-liter HEMI V8 for a new 6.4-liter (dubbed the 392) with 475 hp (354 kW / 482 PS) and 460 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque - an increase of 50 hp (37 kW / 51 PS) and 40 lb-ft (54 Nm).

While the Challenger was never a dynamic darling, Dodge has decided to make amends by installing a revised suspension, an improved braking system, and gripper Firestone Firehawk tires.

To help kick off sales, the company will introduce the 392 Inaugural Edition. It will feature unique exterior colors, SRT wheels, and a four-tailpipe exhaust system. The cabin will have white leather seats, brushed metal trim, and a serialized dash plaque. Production will be limited to 1,100 units and they are scheduled to go on sale November 29th.
